I do like the bulk of this lense. It just feels like a good quality piece. The LOCK feature is handy, makes it much easier to take on and off and for putting on the hood as well. The larger lens (62mm lens) is great, I do love it, I just wish it was the same size(mm) as my other 18-55mm and my 55-200mm which are 55mm lenses. I use a tethered strap with a lens cap attached to the camera and it doesn't fit on this one :( (small potatoes though) This is a replacement for my 75-300mm lens that just stopped AUTO focusing!!!! This lens has a $100 greater value and Best Buy swapped it out for me, even up!! That was very nice of them, due to the unavailability of the Sony Sal 75-300 for purchase anymore.

I loved this Lens. One of the main reasons. I bought a DSLR is because my fiancée and I love taking trips and our camera phones just do not do the sites Justice. We were always so far away and digital zoom was terrible. This Lens made those problems of the past we get great shots from Miles away.

Using it on the Sony A65 Alpha mount, it has a fast focus and has been sharp at a 100% especially if stabilized in daylight. Got it on sale and I have been quite impressed for the last 2 weeks so far.

I have left Sony Alpha land and have converted to E-Mount. So why am I keeping this lens you ask? Well, I'm not big into zoom where I require fast action tracking. With my new Sony a6500 and LA-EA1 adapter I am more than happy with stills image focus and image quality of this lens. FYI...Video AF sucks, but that is the nature of adapted lenses. As 99% of my videos are close up it's a non-issue for me.

The auto focus worked great, data display inside the camera worked as advertised, much better than manually focusing my old Minolta zoom lenses

My love for photography has been rekindled but the addition of this flash. My quality and flexibility has been enhanced. Right now, I get every opportunity I can get to show off because I know my lens won't let me down. I am a happy best buy customer.

Takes high quality images from far away. Very easy to use once mounted. The lens are very heavy. I have A6000 so I had to purchase an adapter so that the lens can attach to my camera - which I wish I knew before purchasing this product. Make sure that your camera is compatible with this lens.

Though I must use an adapter with my Sony camera, the auto functions work just as well as a Sony lens. I use this in replace of other lenses with exception of the standard lens. May require a larger case and adds a little more weight, but worth the effort for telephoto picture quality. I travel photo and need to be sure the gear I use works in all conditions. This lens does.
