Rispetto alla concorrenza

La concorrenza si è fatta serrata. Nikon NIKKOR Z 17-28mm f/2.8 e Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 G2 offrono alternative nitide e veloci. Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8 e Panasonic Leica 12-60mm puntano su versatilità e compattezza. Canon RF 28-70mm f/2.8 IS STM alza l'asticella con la stabilizzazione. Rispetto a questi, il nostro prodotto arranca un po'.

Prezzo

Rapporto qualità-prezzo

Il prezzo ora parte da circa $468, un calo del 18% che lo rende molto più accessibile. La forbice però si allarga fino a oltre $13.000 per configurazioni estreme, quindi attenzione a cosa metti nel carrello. Per l'uso quotidiano, l'affare c'è.

Verdetto

Con il nuovo prezzo base è un'opzione onesta, ma il punteggio sceso a 76 riflette una realtà diversa. I rivali sono cresciuti, lui è rimasto fermo. Se trovi l'offerta giusta sotto i $500 può ancora valerne la pena, altrimenti guarda altrove.
