    The Clear Choice For Walk Around

    if you are shooting with a SLT or other Alpha cropped sensor body this is without a question the highest level of performance you will receive out of a lens compatible with the system. From one end to the other it renders a sharp image across the focal plane even wide open. Color and contrast are simply another level. Some question whether this lens warrants the price above the other offerings. Simply put if you are particular and fussy about your results or are planning on printing above 8x10's there is NO comparison between this lens and others. Only a prime would get you there, and that would indeed be limiting. Build is excellent with tight tolerances. Focus speed is pretty much instant. Optical performance is what it delivers in spades.

  • sonystyle says it comes with a lens hood and carrying case... why not here in best buy?

    I've had 2 of these lenses and I can assure you unless the retailer literally removes the included and enclosed lens pouch and hood it comes with it in the box as an included accessory. It also comes with a QC sheet confirming level of performance. If you didn't get all this THAT particular store MUST have removed it but they most certainly are NOT supposed to do so.
