This is one image that needed a lot of CA removal especially at the top edge of the building. At this focal length (140mm) there isn't a lot of distortion with this lens but there certainly is at 55 and 200 settings. The DT 55-200 f4-5.6 will not be one of my favourite lenses of all time but it is quite useful on these Nex cameras as the Nex lenses aren't up to much at present. The 18-55 f3.5-5.6 kit zoom isn't all that bad and I quite like the output but it is quite short for my liking. I also have the 55-210 f4.5-6.3 but I just can't get along with it. I think one of the reasons for this is when I received the lens and I tried to get the hood on, and found it extremely difficult to match the hood to the lens. This is carrying on to this day. I took that lens out with me on a short walk a week or two ago and I'll be posting images from that lens mounted on the Nex-7. I have seen some remarkable images posted on some forums and I still wonder how they managed to get that sort of quality from the lens. Maybe, just maybe I have a Monday morning lens. Meaning of course that's it's a lemon of a lens.
The great thing about the two lenses mentioned above is that both incorporate Sony's OSS (Optical Image Stabilisation) and that, for me, is a major plus. I think cameras can only be made so small before they get too small to handle successfully. What I mean is they are really too light, no weight in the hand and the whole thing becomes unstable. Anything smaller that the Nex-5N is really too small for me and I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.
