I purchased this lens to replace the stock lens that came with my Alpha 300. I photograph pets and would always have to switch between the stock lens and a longer zoom, losing great photo opportunities and time. I was able to use this lens during my entire shoot and my photographs were fantastic. Great price.

I recently bought this lens to use on my Sony Alpha A200. it was a replacement for my kit lens. the quality of my copy is exceptional. it takes very sharp pictures, even in low light. i also have yet to experience any of the autofocus problems that other users have had. the autofocus on my copy is fast, smooth, and accurate. it’s also quieter than my other lenses, and ALOT quieter than my Sigma 70-300. the internal focus is nice too, as it eliminates rotation of the front element.
the only thing i dont like about this lens is the design of the barrel when you zoom. it’s in two separate pieces that slide in and out of each other, and it looks kind of cheap, if you ask me.
obviously this lens isn’t a professional grade lens, but with SLD glass, internal focusing, and a price of 150 dollars (with express shipping), this lens is a bargain that can’t be beat.

This lens is a quick step up or a replacement for the kit lens that accompanies new cameras. Not a great lens, since the barrel turns while focusing making it difficult to use a CPL or graduated ND filter. I would deffinetly reccomend this as a walk around or starter lens and the price can’t be beat.

Okay, this is a cheap, wide angle almost superzoom lens. That said, it covers a very usable range, produces sharp images, has a solid build, and is light and easy to use. It is a good choice for a travel lens for an APS-C sensor dSLR (not for full frame). The bokeh is a little odd, but I can live with it. The AF can be a bit slow in poorer lighting (but many more expensive lenses suffer from this as well). I’ve not regretted the purchase. Highly reccomend.
