    I got this lens as a first telephoto for my Sony a 6000. The biggest problem is that its sometimes slow to respond to input.

    I bought it open box so got a great deal. Don't use it as often as I thought I would because I don't like lugging it around, but when I do use I haven't had any problems.

    You get what you pay for. Not a great lense.

    It is better to expend a couple of hundred dollars more and get a better lense. This lense is ok but definitely has room for improvement.

    Took me a while to buy one, but I'm glad that I was finally able to buy it. The lens works perfect for my needs. I am also able to get good close up pics in low light.

    I was very nervous at first, & it seems heavy for the body of the camera, so be sure to use the strap. It does the trick.
