    After reading lots of reviews, I decided on the a6000 package that include the additional lens and carrying case. This seemed to be the best value. There are lots of features and modes that take a while to get used to for beginners. But that is half of the fun with this camera and seeing the amazing pictures you can capture.

    Entry level telephoto

    I am used to shooting a Canon 50D with a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. This lens is more like a telephoto kit lens, similar to the Canon starter lenses. It gives more reach for long photos, and better compression to shoot portraits at 200mm. It doesn't have the speed of high end lenses for shooting sports. I would also note that the f/stops of this lens doesn't lend itself to low light photography. A decent lens for the price, but don't expect the stars on a flashlight budget.

    Works great for the price! The zoom distance is great without losing too much of the auto focus tracking. Keep in mind that the aperture starts to increase past the 35mm mark. To hold a 2.8 aperture or lower, you’ll need to purchase the lens that is 3x more! Great entry Zoom lens to learn without spending the high price tag. Quality of images and the durability of the lens are great.

    This is a great camera lens for zooming in closer to subject. I use this lens to record church service and sit near the back of church and it zooms in close and objects/subject is clear and makes it a lot easier than using the standard lens. I compile this video onto a DVD for TV broadcast twice a month.

    I bought this when I bought a new camera. Was taking a trip to Europe and wanted to have a good camera to capture those memories. This served as an excellent addition to us coming home with memories we will have forever.

    Love the camera, functions well... And very user friendly! Absolutely love it, however the store in Laguna niguel did not have the camera in stock, so I paid for the camera and went to pick it up again a store in lake forest, after picking it up and driving home. I found the camera had looked used, it would t even turn on. Tried different charging cables... Nothing. I called the Laguna niguel store and was advised to bring the camera in so they can look at it.... They then suggested I take the item to a different store in Costa Mesa for an exchange, after driving to Costa Mesa for an exchange, i explain the situation and was told they wouldn't exchange it, I had receipts less than 2 hours old, they made phone calls between stores, the out come was that I purchase a new camera from Costa Mesa and return the original that was broken back to their lake forest store for a refund. I'd recommend the product to others but my buying experience was HORRIBLE

    This lens is my go to for wedding or engagement photos, it delivers crisp images because the lens has Optical SteadyShot image stabilization built in. Great color accuracy in all of my shots, also works well with fast paced sports action shots. overall great lens.

    Good rubberized grip on the zoom ring. Snug but smooth on zoom. Also, the extended length allows for a good grip on the camera if the body is too small for your hands. Have not tried with video but don;t imagine it to be a problem. No major noise that I can detect when zooming in and out.

    This lens was a very inexpensive way for me to add zoom capabilities to my Sony NEX – FS 100. I like to use e-mount lenses that don't require an adapter and this did the trick. I was able to successfully shoot high quality footage at a high school football game from the booth with this lens. It also provided nice depth of field for shots that I took at field level before the game.
