    If you are like me, you want to be able to zoom in on those small detailed things from afar - this lens will let you do that and still maintain clarity. I am in love with this lens which I use with my Sony A6000 Camera - It is very easy to mount in a flash and is exactly what I need to capture those once in a lifetime shots.

    Best Buy had a sale on that gave me $150 off this lens when I purchased my alpha 5000. Love the lens, use it all the time for sports, swim lessons and anything outdoors. Get sharp images, fast focus and it just feels solid and well built, not toy like. And it fits in a small camera bag (think hip pack) for easy portability.

    I was not sure what lens I should get and the representative at Best Buy was so helpful and trying to figure out what would be the best lens for the most average distance that I shoot and this is what they Recommended

    It's a pretty good lens at a reasonable price. A must have for any beginner. The automated autofocus is amazing when paired with the Sony a6000. Great in auto focus and just as great in manual focus mode

    Absolutely love this lens! It gave me everything I needed for taking photos while I was in Hawaii. I wanted something that gave me plenty of Zoom versus what I had with the original lens that came with my a6000.

    This lens stays on my Sony a6000 most of the time. Very compact, extremely light weight and sharp at all focal lengths. Its zoom control is entirely mechanical and not electronic, a very good "feature." Its built-in Steady Shot works well. I'm very impressed at the quality of photos it produces. Very glad I bought this.

    Bought as an accessory for a6000 for a Europe trip, did not take on trip, but used later at a HS graduation, works fine if there is lots of light, or for portraits in daylight, would not recommend for indoors or evening dim lighting. For action shots in low light a faster lens is needed. Would recommend as a first low cost zoom lens.

    I bought this lens to shoot scenery and motor sports outside. This lens has produced great shots of both, thus covering many aspects of shooting with a long lens. My camera is a Dony NEX-7 and multiplies the lens by 1.5. I am very happy with this open box purchase from Best Buy.

    I bought this lens as part of a bundle when I bought my Sony a6000. It gives me more range for those more scenic pictures. I am very happy with the lens, it is a good upgrade to the standard a6000 lens.

    I used it on a whale watch trip with a polarizing filter and the pictures came out flawlessly. I also used it today to take pics of the eclipse. They were exceptionally clear even when I blew them up to a larger size.

    This zoom lens is sleek, elegant and well constructed and provides excellent bokeh and stunningly clear pictures. This lens takes my Sony Alpha 6000 into another realm of photography that is not possible with the standard non zoom lens.

    If you are planning on buying a new camera, I recommend that you also purchase the additional lens. Best buy offers a discounted package when you purchase together. I love the picture quality when I use with my Sony alpha 5000.

    I recently purchased a Sony a6000, which I have fallen in love with, and wanted a longer zoom lens. Didn't want to spring for the very expensive 70-200 right now, so opted for this. Not as sharp as I would like, and I expected that it would not be the fastest lens, but I must say that I am pleasantly surprised by it. I believe it would be quite adequate for most people's needs.

    The product was purchased as an open box item. I found all the materials and item packed correctly. The lens is a great workhorse and works well with my Sony A6000. I took the camera to the Air & Space Museum and got some exceptional close-up shots that were in good focus.

    I have a habit of always purchasing lens in the event that I need to take pictures of items that are far away. Funny, when I had my old DSLR I hardly ever used the bigger lens. However, with my new Sony camera I have used this lens a lot. Works great, no rocket science here.

    I nice lens if you want to compliment your kit lens. Only bought it because if I bought it with the camera and the kit lens there was a nice discount. It does it's job. Would have liked to see a lock feature on it. But the lens is solid and feels good. Feels a little heavy when you mount in on my Sony Alpha 5100. If you can get it at a discount price. Totally worth it.
