Review 1 for Sony 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Super-Telephoto Zoom Lens for Select Sony Digital SLR Cameras
Nice Lense for the price!
Customer Rating

Purchased this lense as a gift for my wife for her Sony A55 (great camera!) Originally got it for her nature photography consisting of birds, wildlife, etc. She loves it so much that I had to give it a try. I found myself messing around with her camera/75-300mm lense combo taking pictures of outdoor wildlife, flowers, leaves, etc. Pretty amazing detail for a lense of this price. Great lense for under $300.00! Recommend a good tripod though....
What's great about it: Price, Value, Rugged, Auto/Manual Focus Capability
What's not so great: Does not come with a case. (Hey, what do you want for this price!)
I would recommend this to a friend!

the len is wonderful.
It is lighter than a reflex, perhaps the difference is in the definition.

I call this my sniper lens. This lens really allows me to take close up photos of just about anything without interfering with the game, letting the kids know I am there, or tipping my dog off that I am snapping a photo of her being naughty. The only downside is that you can't easily transition from taking photos of items up close to far away. You really need to change lenses for images in the same space as you, unless you like the super up close, I can see your nose hairs type of images.
What's great about it: Distance, Price, Clarity
What's not so great: Wish it started at 55MM

I have used this lens with Sony a390, it could take wonderful photos, easy to use, and it does not break your pocket. There is one issue that it dose not give the desire result when the target consists of both black and white. This problem might be notice when you enlarge the picture. However, the other colors are all natural. Overall, it is sharp enough to deliver a convincing and satisfactory photo.

A smooth-to-operate zooming mechanism, plus very good optics. Does well in both auto and manual focus. Mounts quickly. The only problem I had was getting used to the new generation of focus rings. They are much narrower than the rings on my film camera SLRs.
What's great about it: Good Optics, Smooth Zooming, Easy Mounting
What's not so great: Thre focus ring is kind of narrow.

Got this lens in a package with the Sony a390 and lowepro 170 bag. My wife and I are gearing up for a vacation and some sight-seeing.
I find the pictures taken using this lens are high quality and the lens/camera's steady shot provide enough anti-vibration to be used without a tri-pod. Very happy with this purchase and I would go as far to say this lens is a must have for anyone wanting a DSLR to take photo's of wild-life.
We are just photo enthusiasts, so if you are a pro and getting paid for your pictures you may want to look into Sony's high end lenses. Otherwise buy this lens and dont look back, great addition to my amazing a390 Sony DSLR camera.
What's great about it: Ease of use, great zoom ability but not overly large lens, quality of photo's
I would recommend this to a friend!

I was not very excited to have a Sony, but finally after I postpone for a life the decision to buy a DSLR camera, my wife took the step and bought me a Sony A230L.
I opened the camera and right after I felt in love.
I got this lenses after tested the camera and decided that its perfect for me, yesterday I went to take some pictures and I took some good pictures of generic subjects.
The image quality is really good, the auto focus is fast enough and the compound is light weight.
The best for the price!
I am really happy.
What's great about it: Image quality
What's not so great: Still haven't identified

The lens could be quieter and have faster autofocus but for that price it never would. It is a great companion for a Sony SLR and you should look for it in a package deal. You want this. For sure.
What's great about it: Easy to use. Great Price.
What's not so great: Could be faster.

I found this lens very easy to use. The grip is made out of a nice soft rubber, making it comfortable to use. The lens is not rugged though, so I would caution those who need it to be.

Easy to use and lightweight. I use a UV filter on all my lenses to cut down on glare and they offer protection to the lens. Only problem is the time it takes to re focus on subject .

Not only a great lightweight long-range zoom, but also close focusing for macro work. Since the image stabilization is built into the camera with the Alpha camera system, you don't pay a premium for image stabilization (also called vibration reduction) in the lens.
For macro work, you can focus at 4 feet. This lets you fill a frame with a flower or insect without having to be close to the subject. A tripod is recommended, even the image stabilization system can't cope with camera shake in these conditions. Curved aperture blades create a smooth, pretty looking out-of-focus background.
It takes a few seconds to rack out to close focus when you turn the camera on, and the front of the lens is rotating while this is happening. I'm not sure how it could be made faster without adding $100s to the price, so I'm glad they didn't try. If you are using a polarizing filter to reduce glare the rotating lens will annoy you. Use a circular polarizer or readjust after focusing. These are minor points. All in all I am very impressed with this lens.
What's great about it: Great quality, low price
What's not so great: Slightly longer focus time, front element rotates during focus
I would recommend this to a friend!

I just picked up this lens. I used it for about 2 hours and the pictures...superb
I saw it and even asked "are you sure that's the correct price?" Once I was told yes, It was mine. This is my second telephoto lens. (the first was way over $400) If you can still find it BUY it!
