Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great results, perfect for beginners
I'm completely new to the DSLR world and I've added this lends to my new alpha200 camera. I'm super happy with the results this lens gives me, sharp, noiseless, and strong colors. I don't agree that the zoom takes that long. It's not in millisec, but it doesn't disturb. I'm very happy.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - What A Bargain!
Prequel: I am coming from a strict Nikon background and due to having my $4000 kit(D80, 3 VR, 3 2.8 pro lenses, etc) stolen out of my car, am starting all over again. That being said, I don't have $4000 to plop down at once, so I decided to get an "entry to mid-level" system and after many internal battles, decided to try something different and go with the Alpha system. My thoughts were if things didn't work out with this setup, I haven't spent that much and could use it for a carry-around camera. ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Average lens for an average price, Good as a starter lens
Nice starter lens to get long ranges but does not perform well in lower light, as it was not designed to. I got this with the ALpha 200 kit for an extra $100 and it was worth that for sure, but if you are spending $200 or more, I would go with a walkaround lens 28mm to 300mm, you'll use it more and can usually find something decent for around $300.

If you are getting as an add on and are on a budget, this is a great lens and will fit lots of situations.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Terrific lens
I have the identical Konica Minolta version of this lens. It is a very nice lens and since it is fairly small and light and not too expensive, perfect for travel if you need a tele zoom. Uses common less expensive 55mm filter size.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wow
This lens is way bigger than I thought is was going to be but, it is everything I was hoping it would be. Great zooming capabilities, fantastic picture quality. In one word, WOW. Sony has never let me down, I will continue to buy their products, they're worth every penny you spend for them. The camera I bought this lens for (Alpha 350 ) is teriffic also. Put the two together and I've got a great setup. Through Amazon, I got the lens quickly, packed well, and it didn't cost me an arm and a leg.Sigma ... Read More
