    We got this lens as part of the Best Buy Sony Bundle and have been impressed with how easy it is to affix on to the camera. Great for long distance shots.

    This is a great starter for anyone wanting to begin shooting. Especially since Sony dropped it to 150 with the purchase of the a6000.....Awesome!

    Great and easy to use for emount cameras for zooming in for long distance objects. Wish it had auto focus capability but that would raise th price. It came with the NEX 5t bundle and perfect pricing for what it worth.

    Good lens, it is a good long distance lens, it's about the size of the camera! And a bit pricy. Overall it's a great addition for this camera.

    Note that this lens will work on a full-size sensor, like Sony A7 series, but image quality is not as good. For full-size sensor lenses, you'll have to pay more. Overall, good lens.

    Excellent auto-focus function. Sharp image around the periphery. Mount is especially easy to use. And Best Buy matched a good internet price I found!

    The lens that is supplied with Sony Mirrorless Camera has limited zoom. This lens is great and is perfect accompaniment to the camera. Great price when bundled with camera - just $150 so can't go wrong.

    I really like this additional lens for my new Sony mirrorless camera. Takes great photos from far away. Just have to be sure to switch out lenses to the one the camera comes with if taking up close photos.

    Got a good deal when I bought my Sonya 6000. Only paid $200 bucks for this lens. Glad I did. Defiantly can capture a picture from far away.
