Comments about Sony Sony 500mm f/8.0 a (alpha) Mount Digital SLR Reflex Telephoto Lens with Hood:

This is a great lens for people who can't afford the 2.8 lens. I have used this a lot at local zoo's as well as at local football games. Being an f8 you do need plenty of light but you can make it work during night games. I have also used this lens to do some portrait work and it does wonders when outdoors. Over all i use this lens a lot and i have the costly 2.8 lens. Just learn your setting and it will work great for you.

I plan ontaking this on safari to compliment my 200 to 400 mm zoom. The light weight is a plus.
