Top-notch image quality

Autofocus is unpredictable Zoom range is limited

I'll start as I shall no doubt finish this little piece of editorial, the lens is worth the price of the DSC-R1 alone. That fact is not to be underestimated, it's a great lens which provides you with a very useful 24 - 120 mm zoom range (which will be...

Excellent picture quality. Lots of external controls and options. Wide-angle end of the zoom gives you a wide 24mm view.

Very expensive. Quite heavy and bulky. Slow performance. No video capabilities.
