    This lense is really good the only thing that bugs me is the focusing noise. It's really annoying but I love the quality of photos!!!!

    Great lens for photography but mediocre for videography. The lens is sharp but it will often hunt for focus while using the autofocus. Also the focusing motors are LOUD. I ultimately returned this lens because it was hunting for focus and the motors were so darn loud

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Hi Chungus,
       
      Sony commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority.
       
      Thanks for this feedback. There could be reasons why the lens is hunting for focus. Your subject may be getting beyond the lens' minimum focusing distance. It could also be that there is not enough light when you were shooting. We'd like to hear more about this and also know what camera you were using. Please contact our phone support at 239-245-6360 so we can assist you.
       
      Regards,
