I bought quite a while ago. I recently traded it in along with my A99M2 and A77M2 because I switched to Sony A7R V. While I had the lens I enjoyed using it. The pictures are sharp and great travel lens.

I purchased zoom lens as a very last minute Christmas gift for my daughter. I was concerned about whether the lens would be the proper fit for her camera and how Adorama would be to deal with. I am very pleased to say that both the lens and Adorama were perfect! I am so glad I found this company for our future camera needs!!

This lens doesn't have full compatibility with A77M2 and A99M2.

I like using the lens on my Sony A200. I can now get to photograph actual landscapes from distance since I only had the default kit lens. My only issue is that the lens I bought with a filter kit. The filters are fine but the polarizing lens won't allow the hood,which came with the lens, to be installed. the knurled ring around the polarizing filter was to large to allow installation. The fallacy of buying online without actually seeing if the devices will work together.

I got my kid a sony with 2 lens in high school, this was one of them. She got so many great shots with this lens! She has got a great student job shooting campus photos including sporting events. For a young person this lens is not only affordable but really expands their options.

I like this lens but am wishing for a comparable Carl Zeiss lens.

I use it for landscape, bird & wildlife photography. It zooms alot farther than my old lens.

I bought this lens in preparation for a forthcoming holiday. Although I have yet to try it in the field, I am impressed by the quality and operation of the lens. It enhances the capability of my Alpha 55 camera and looks good without being too bulky to carry around and is very easy to fit and change.

This lens came as a kit lens with my Alpha 58 SLT. It has useful range and is good for general photography. It is not the sharpest out there but it is not the most expensive. A good general zoom to have in the bag.

This lens produces outstanding images with my A55 camera. However, zooming in and out is not very smooth. This should not be in a lens of otherwise high quality. Quality control slipped on this one.

Great all around telephoto zoom at a value price

Got this lens recently and I must say I love the results. Zooms in nicely, focuses pretty smooth, captures great colors. Couldn't be happier.

I bought this to replace/augment an older minolta 100-300mm lens that was pretty soft. This has become my primary lens since I shoot mainly outdoors. I love that it's fast with the AF and produces nice crisp photos with good color. I rarely experience the AF "hunting" like some lenses do in lower light. There are times I wish I had a bit more reach with it, and when wanting to zoom in close I'm often unable to get as tight as I want since you have to be at least 3.5ft from your subject. Those are minor nits considering the capabilities and price of this lens. For the price, I couldn't be happier with this lens.

Lens has great quality and versitility of zoom for open field shots and just about anything else. The autofocus is very quiet and therefore great for wildlife. You can't get a better lens for even twice the price. (The pics look much better than here.)

This is a great portable telephoto lens. The image quality is pretty solid; especially considering its pricepoint. It's a very reliable lens, there aren't very many cons. The optics aren't bad either, light fall off isn't too bad, bokeh isn't bad, and overall, the image quality isn't bad. For its pricepoint, there really is nothing to complain about. I absolutely recommend buying this if you want an ultra portable telephoto lens.

I received this lens with my new a55 as an early Christmas gift and I absolutely love it. I am an amateur photographer and I have a lot to learn, and so far, I feel like this is the perfect lens for me to learn with. I have been able to take a wide range of photos with this lens; including portraits, landscapes, flowers, action shots, and even food. Although you have to be rather far from a subject to get a good shot, and it doesn't always focus as quickly as I want it to (which is only sometimes frustrating when I'm taking pictures of my step kids who are constantly on the go) I would say this is a perfect lens for any beginner or a good day to day lens for anyone. Also, the photo quality on this site do not do these photo's justice because they actually came out to be much more vivid and pristine.

It's a shame that the enjoyment of using the lens is interrupted every half hour when the lens hood falls off into the dirt. The provided lens hood doesn't lock into place, so simply walking around holding the camera is enough to loosen the lens hood until (surprisingly soon, and surprisingly often) it falls off the lens. So far I haven't figured out how to work-around this problem - because the front lens element turns when focusing, simply taping the lens hood onto the lens won't work. (Similarly, it's a little annoying that no lens-cap-strap is provided to attach the lens-cap to the body of the camera. A lens-cap-strap was provided with the simple DSC-H9 camera - why not with this kit zoom lens?).

A good Tri-pod is recomended, then stand by for excellent results

This lens extends the real capabilities of the camera. It reaches out with speed and rapid focusing. Must have item for the camera bag.

Just got this (12/25/10) so its a bit early. So far have been using it in wildlife/bird photos and its performed quite well. Very well built and looks like it will last a long time. Made some excellent shots of difficult birds.

Overall this is a great lense. I am just getting into the hobby and am very surprised of the photos I have been able to take with this lense. My father is a die hard Nikon person and he is impressed with the quality of photos I am producing with the 200mm on my A-330. For the price, buy it. You will not be upset. The included photos do not do it justice. They are actually much clearer and do not have the grainy fuzz you see here.
