Not as sharp as I would have expected for fast moving objectives like firefighter airplanes, but for ones works very good for everything else.

Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. We recommend making sure you are using appropriate high shutter speeds for fast moving subjects, the quality of the air and pollution can also impact image quality. Sony Social Support - Andy

A bit bulky and somewhat "heavy" but not deal breaker. Manual zoom is a little still sometimes (?)

Not a professional, just enjoy it as a hobby. To me, a great buy for the the money.
If you read the unhappy reviews you will never buy a lens, because the reviews are focusing on finding the negative and telling you to spend more money on something else that may cost you thousands more, for almost a minimal difference, if you are a professional go ahead and spend your money.
For me is a great value and I'm happy with it, thanks.

I haven't used this for sports yet so I can't comment on how it performs on a fast pace. I have done some live action shots of company products being used and got sharp, good contrast shots. Very pleased with the performance. Much better than a standard 70-300 consumer lens, but not quite a super professional lens.

This lens blew me away. I just purchased my 1st full frame doler to shoot the outdoors as I hike and this lens is so sharp. Heavy lens but well worth carrying.

For the price, you won't find a more crisp lens out at 300mm. I took this lens through the Grand Canyon, Antelope, Monument Valley, Bryce, and Zion NP and it never failed me. Any lens that survives that dustbowl is more than air-tight.

Ah-mazing lens. Makes me feel more like a man and that I'm totally not overcompensating for ... lack of focal length. Easiest the most expensive lens I own, and probably overkill given I bought it just so I can take pics of my 6th grade kid's tuba concert from the back row.
But still. I love this lens.
