I love this lens, it is crisp and clear, does decent in not so well lit areas. I use this to record my church services and it has been excellent to my work flow.

I was looking for a long lense for the A7Rii camera. Sony makes some of the best lenses out there. Amazing quality. And I love that it has optical stabilization.

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

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

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.
