Comments about Sony Sony 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 a (alpha) Mount Digital SLR Telephoto Zoom Lens with Hood.:
I knew this lens was not a real short lens but, the length coupled with the weight on the lightweight A55 Sony makes it really nose heavy and not a comfortable to use lens. I will be ordering a compact telephoto and hopefully this will make for a better feel. The lens does focus fairly fast and seems to do a good job of staying in focus even when shooting video. Mostly my mistake in ordering a lens that wasn't what I really wanted.

Comments about Sony Sony 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 a (alpha) Mount Digital SLR Telephoto Zoom Lens with Hood.:
Having just received the Sony A500 camera and 18-55 mm & 75-300 mm Sony lens, I have not been able to take many photos yet. However; I am pleased with photos so far. Attaching photo of Red Tailed Hawk in the woods and crop of small part of the original photo. I think details held up pretty well for this much of a corp. Taken with Sony 75-300 mm kit lens at 250 mm, 1/500, f6.3

Comments about Sony Sony 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 a (alpha) Mount Digital SLR Telephoto Zoom Lens with Hood.:
Not a horrible lens, [...] If you are looking for QUALITY then you have got to go with a good Sigma or even the more pricier Sony one, but all and all it's not horrible.

Comments about Sony Sony 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 a (alpha) Mount Digital SLR Telephoto Zoom Lens with Hood.:
This is the same (Konica) Minolta lens. Nothing new. The only differences are placing of markings- aperture, Sony logo and different rubber grip. These however are just cosmetic things. Lens is not the sharpest, but not the worst either. I think it is a good deal. Especially when you consider the price and fact that you get hood included. I find that Sony misleads customers- 75-300 mm is only if you use it on film or full sensor camera. In real life it is 112.5-450 mm. I base my review on Konica Minolta, I tested it with A100. It is quite fast, but you still get blurry shots, even with image stabilization turned on.

Comments about Sony Sony 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 a (alpha) Mount Digital SLR Telephoto Zoom Lens with Hood.:
This lesn fills the niche for overall range. I now have the 18-70, this lens (75-300), and will be purchasing the 200-500 as soon as I can afford it. This gives me an effective lens battery of 27 through 750mm lens' without a doubler or other exander for my Alpha 350. This should be great... I marled it down one level because I believe the focus and related alignments could be a little better, but that would be pretty much a blanket issue for me.
