Great zoom lens for an affordable price! This will get the job done on a budget!

This lens attaches easily to the Sony A6000. It is easy to use and takes perfect photos. A must have for capturing amazing images during sporting events.

I like it, it can zoom very far and image looks amazing.

Got this as part of the holiday two lens bundle with the Sony a5000. This lens is head and shoulders above the standard 16-50 lens which typically comes with the camera. Obvious at 55 this starts out at a "zoomed" level but personally I feel the image comes out much more sharp with this lens than with the 16-50, even if it means backing up a little bit to get a similar picture. I'm a camera newb though so take it for what its worth. For entry level though I strongly recommend having something beyond the base 16-50 which is basically the lens you get with a point and shoot.

Lens works great! Easy to attach to my Sony A6000 and it has a detachable hood. Clear crisp photos are easy with the Camera and this lens. I had fun playing with it on a recent trip and got some amazing photos with crisp detail in the front and the beautiful blur in the background. Plus some zoomed distance photos of eagles flying far away. I am relatively new to the DSLR cameras so I have to do some experimenting, but I am loving it so far.

This lens takes sharp photos at the tele end. Pricing is good relative to most other zoom lenses in this category.

Great kit lense. Focus, picture quality amazing. Found this to have better focus and clarity than the Nikon telephoto lens.

Great lens to use before getting the big guns. The only bad side is the minimum aperture of 3.5 but aside from that, this is really good

Received this lens with the Sony A6300. I was pleasantly surprised ay how sharp it is. You do need good light, even in shaded woods you'll need the fill flash if you are using it for any close ups of critters. I keep the focal length under 200, about 135, f5.6-8 and have gotten wonderful photos of dragonflies , flowers, almost macro lens quality. At 200mm it won't be as sharp. For the price and size of this lens, it's a very good buy.

Wanted to add a lens to my collection and this was it! It gives me a little more zoom than my other lens. Crisp pictures!

Bought this camera for my sony a6000. It worked really good during my last vacation. Thanks for it and I got a lot of beautiful photos.

This lens is great for a little zoom to a lot of zoom. Very easy for me to change on and off of the Sony a6000. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Great Lens-shot some awesome photos at the beach and on the trails-I would highly recommend!!

I have the A6000 and I generally like it but it is not a good camera for bird photography because it's complicated to activate the internal zoom: you have to go into the menu and/or assign a button on the camera to use the internal zoom. This is way too time-consuming for bird photography and a huge design mistake. The a5000 has that zoom lever and is much better to use, albeit a less developed camera than the a6000. Overall, Sony doesn't have much to offer for bird photography but I hope they will come up with better lenses and cameras for that purpose.

there are lots of reviews out there for this lens on reputable sites, so i will just add my approval to what they mostly say--for what you pay this is a nice lens. Obviously it isn't super-crisp crisp Zeiss glass--whether by Zeiss itself or by Sony to Zeiss specs--but it isn't that soft and really does the job well. My purchase was an especially good deal as I bought it on Black Friday as part of a package but was then able to return the rest of the package for an adjusted refund. Thanks, local Best Buy, for making it a painless process. A great addition for my NEX-6, soon to be an a6000

This is a great starting lens for your Sony Mirrorless camera. I use it with the a6000 and it works great. The Optical Image Stabilization really smooths out long range photos when you are holding the camera in your hands. It's about a 75-300mm equivalent lens since this is not a full frame sensor in the A6000. I've even used it with the clear zoom to double the range. It worked great at concerts where I can get in close to the singer. The lens comes with a hood if you are using it in the bright sun. It's not a very fast lens, but then again it's only about $300. You will be spending a lot more if you want something with a larger aperture. I have this, the 16-50mm kit lens and picked up a 35mm f/1.8 lens for low light photos without a flash.

Great for reaching out for my vacation photos. Poor low light performance but at this price it cant be beat.

Not an expert by any means but I am very happy with this lens. It does a great job taking quality pictures is fast and easy to use.

This lens is great for capturing images from ling distances. Nice zoom and great color quality.

This zoom lens is very nice for the price, Relatively light for a zoom of this distance. Good price especially with the bundle package.
