    This lens is a true workhorse! It’s weight takes a bit of getting used to if you’ve only shot mirrorless but for those that crossed over from a DSLR it’s bearable. Sharp details won’t disappoint and fast focus can keep up with higher frame rates for sports. There’s cheaper lenses out there but they’re all lacking in some way like use of a teleconverter, cheaper build quality or falling short on focal length. If you’re a pro or working your way up this lens will not disappoint.

    Image stabilization aids in capturing beautiful still images or videos. 400mm zoom makes capturing action shots easy for volleyball tournaments or track meets. I would give this lens five stars but it’s a brick!

    Sony out-did themselves on this one. Expensive, but not unreasonably more than Canon's equivalent, and I'd argue, much much better. I'm a giant prime advocate, but this one is soooo good.

    I bought this for my daughter who is wanting to spend more time in photography. She practiced on my 60th birthday photos with this lens and what a difference from just the original camera lens she had been using. The photos are crisp, clear and very detail oriented. She is so happy with this and has gained a new confidence while taking photos.
