    I took a open box. When I received the item it has a different lense cap. Otherwise lense is really good.

    Great with auto focus on the Sony Alpha camera, took it on vacation and really enhanced the level of photos I could take. Great with macro photos as well. A must have for this camera, at a great price.

    I have since upgraded my lens to a 55/1.8z, but this lens is a great option if you are a photographer on a budget. The picture quality is great for $250. If you are a beginning photographer this lens is for you.
