    Just purchased my first camera, the Sony Alpha a7, which had came with a 28mm-70mm lens which was "okay" seeing how disappointing how far it could only go. Bought this bad boy and man it is crazy good how great the shots come out especially at long distance. Great buy and a must have if you want to put some distance between yourself and your subject of the photo

    This lens takes excellent pictures and is a great addition to the Sony a5000 camera. You are able to zoom a lot further with this lens than the standard one included with the camera. I recommend getting this lens.

    The lens was purchased with the NEX-5T as a bundle. It was considerably less to buy it this way than to purchase it by itself. So I got it and don't regret it. I'm hoping to keep adding more e-lenses to my camera in the future.

    This is the first time I ever bought a lens to go with a camera and I think it was well worth it. We knew that we would be taking some distance action shots and they came out fantastic.

    A bit soft at full tele on my A6000

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bought this to use with my A6000. A bit disappointed in that the sharpness doesn't hold up at the full tele end of the lens, especially with a 24 megapixel camera. Probably ok for the lower res sensor cameras, but if you intend to crop and blow up your pics on an A6000, you may be disappointed with this one.

    Added this lens for wildlife and in close sports shots. The value is there and ultimately a higher cost version can do a bit more for a lot more $
