    Lens is lightweight and great to use. Results are not the best. It's a rather cheap lens so you can't expect a miracle but I found my shots and the far end of the zoom soft and I was not impressed. Save money and get something better if you can.

    I am new at using the lenses and the camera. I am still learning the ins and outs. But, the learning curve on this is so great. I am glad that I can learn and every picture at every range is better than the last.

    Works great with Sony A6000 series camera I just purchased. Although it only has a manual zoom, I’m alright with that since it works with the cameras autofocus feature.

    Its a great lens. Makes the camera more powerful. The lens which comes with the Sony A6000 camera originally is not up to the mark for outside photography and this one fills the gap.

    Good value for the price. The standard kit lens that comes with Sony a6000 is not very versatile. I purchased this lens for a alround replacement and also purchased a Ziess 55mmm f/1.8 for it's superior optics. Best Buy also matched a competitors price on both lenses , which I always compare before I buy.

    It's a must if you buy the new a6000. If you want to be serious about what your doing. Part of what separates this from the rest. Fastest autofocus on the market. I don't buy knock off stuff and I am pleased with this new product line.

    I was definitely sold on the Distance that this lense captures and the Ability to capture a photo focusing on the main person and blurring the background. Amazing lens would recommend it to any photographer who does portrait photography not to much Nature photography nor sports photography.

    A much needed accessory for the sony A7000. Wish though Sony made the lens on the Sony A7000 up to at least 105mm, then this extra lens would not be needed. However the price was $100 less if bought together with the camera

    Coming from a point and shoot camera, I was not real impressed with this zoom lens. But when I started to learn how to use my camera I have really come to like the lens. It does exactly what is supposed to and it's relatively light weight.
