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.

This lense is really great for a beginner like myself. I don't know too much about changing settings to get the perfect picture just yet, but this lense works great for what I needed. Hiking and taking pictures from a distance to not disturb wildlife.

Highly sensitive to dirt and debris

Have just one concern about using this lens & Sony camera - the lens very easily gets dirt and debris in it when switching out lenses. It is really meant to be changed in a sterile environment, while we need to change back and forth outdoors, which is just not realistic. Specs get on the interior of the lens frequently, which makes routine cleaning a must.

I bought this lens as part of a bundle deal with my Sony a6000 camera. I've been amazed at the pictures that I've captured with this lens. It has a great zoom and stabilizing. I travel for work almost every week and I always bring my camera and this lens with me. It has yet to disappoint.

Good dx kit lens. Great Value

A good enough lens. Not very fast focusing. An essential purchase in order to take advantage of what the camera has to offer. Not long enough for great images at the zoo nor fast enough for shooting indoor sports. It's just okay. A great value in the kit form. A really light and inexpensive lens for a dx camera system. I would recommend it as part of the kit purchase.

Good All Around Zoom

Solid construction, good mid- to long general purpose zoom for the Sony E-Mount cameras. Wish the maximum aperature was faster, but cranking up the camera ISO offsets this for most situations. Recommend buying it bundled with the Sony camera to get a substantial discount.

good zoom, I can also use the extra 2 times zoom or clear image zoom In the camera, the camera extends the zoom, cleans the image and you got extra zoom from the camera, works well, I used for some moon shots already.

Great zoom lens for sports action

I use this for my children's soccer games. It's gets me closer to the action with some trade-offs. When fully zoomed, shots are often noisy unless on a very bright day. I'm still learning how to use the a6000 and this lens to get the very best shot possible. All in all, it's a lens that help you capture those priceless moments. For me, those are sports-related.

Son is happy with this lens for his camera. He has learned how to use the different lenses to get the different effects wanted with his photos. This has saved him money from buying another camera.

I got this in a package bundle on black friday so it was relatively free. It is the primary lens i like to use with my sony a5000 compact mirrorless. The lens attachment system is super easy. The lens has a good zoom distance and takes great pictures and focus shots.

Nice addition to Sony Alpha cameras for amateur photographers. Bought as a bundle with a5000 camera during Xmas sales. Best for portraits with blurred background, and for bird shots with telephoto and image stabilization.

I didn't know whether to buy this with a bundle deal but I'm sure glad I did. I didn't realize how handy it came when going to the zoo, baseball games and I can only imagine how many friend's graduations I'll be attending. Great quality for long distance pictures, very content!

This isn't the best telephoto lens you can buy for Sony E-mont cameras,but it comes pretty close. Color is good and low-light is so-so, but unless you want to spend upwards of $800, thgis comes close enough for someone who doesn't hqave deep pockets.

This lens focus' better than the one that came with the camera. Used it at a professional football game and all the pictures looked amazing never blurry and quick enough to keep up with the fast paced game.
