pm'd you. Just want to know if its sharp or not. I know there was some good 18-50's and not so good ones. Need to know the sharpness of this and if it covers 5k.

Thanks!

The lens is very sharp. Sharper than most of my Canons...

18-50's isn't as smooth as 17-50... But then you don't get metadata.... Duclos lube would help but this lens is pretty smooth compared to most 18-50's (I tried a bunch)

I believe 5KWS and 5KHD no vignetting 5K FF and 2:1 vignetting, so you'd have to zoom in a bit

BTW - Canon L series are all over the place - and they spin infinite... the 85mm L is electronic focus and spins freely - it doesn't work at all without power. Rotation for FF is much less on most of the Canons.

The 18-50mm is much better in regards to pulling focus and Canons won't hold focus through a zoom.
