Sony, truly like no other.

Posted by: Kurtis
This lens has exceeded all of my expectations. It has an easy-to-use design and performs very well. The image quality is also superior to any other telephoto lens I have used. Sony has again proved its motto "Like no other."
What's great about it: Easy to use, high quality, superior, Like no other.
What's not so great: none, this lens is flawless.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This lens is really worth investing in if you're looking for a quality telephoto zoom, but don't have the cash to drop on a high-end lens.
What's great about it: Lightweight, pricing, quality.
What's not so great: Loud autofocus
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pictures Suffer Above 200mm
on July 21, 2010
Posted by: A380User
I've been using this lens for about 6 weeks now. I have found that it takes good pictures at focal lengths shorter than 200mm as long as there are not any sharp lines with high contrast (i.e. black to white). If there are any areas with sharp black to white contrast, there is severe chromatic aberation. Also, above 200 mm the pictures aren't quite as sharp - you can definitely tell that they were taken with a telephoto lens. Given the price of this lens, these defects in the picutre may be expected. They are not very noticeable in 4x6 prints, but if you blow-up a picture or print larger than 4x6, they become very noticeable.
What's great about it: Inexpensive
What's not so great: Severe Chromatic Aberration, Images Not Sharp At Focal Lengths Larger Than 200mm
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Lens for the Price!
on December 13, 2012
Posted by: Stronks
This was the first lens I went and bought for my a330 (other than having the kit lens) and I am very pleased with it! It is quick and quite accurate when it's in auto. The only thing that really annoys me about this lens is that it slides, I really wish Sony put a lock on it. I take a lot of equine/canine images and I am always moving and having to walk a lot, so it gets really annoying having to recheck and make sure the lens isn't fully extended.
Overall great lens for the price. I have since upgraded my camera body to a a65 and it works even better!
What's great about it: Quick, Great Focus, Detail, Sharp
What's not so great: No Lock, Slides, Noise
I would recommend this to a friend!
