Good Lens But Not GREAT
on May 8, 2013
Posted by: Mark1328
First I am hardly an expert right now but more a "prosumer" this lens for the price is a great deal. The pictures are sharp and clear and the 55-300mm gives great options with 1 lens. My only complaint is the "hunting" when using AF in anything past 200mm. So if I know shooting far away I immediately switch to MF since most likely lens will "hunt" for something to focus on and second you get what you want it hunts to something again. Even for the picture for this review I was in full auto and tried AF but had trouble staying on the bird house with nothing around it so ended up in manual. But for the price I am not going to complain about this lens.
What's great about it: Sharp Images - Great Reach
What's not so great: Forget AF Past 200mm
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Sharp, Image quality, well build quality, SSM & G optic
What's not so great: bit slow in low light

I absolutely LOVE this lens. Great for action shots, nature photography and still subjects that are far off.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had this lens for a couple months & couldn't be happier--it's the perfect companion for my a99/a77. Zoom/focus is swift/seamless. Lightweight enough to carry anywhere. Would have been nice to have an xtra stop or so of light, but, for my purposes, fits the bill fine!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Sincerely I prefer use it on manual, is not that difficult and focus what I really want it.
Try to buy a 18-250 and the price escalate too much.

"G"... What a lens!
on May 8, 2012

Test shots attached shows the 70mm shot.at 1/320 of a sec, F9, ISO 100 and 300mm shot F9, ISO 200, at 1/500 of a sec. Hand held and Steady shoot turned on. Both test shots were minimally Photoshoped using CS-5.5. I was happily surprised by the sharpness, clarity, and contrast. I also ran test on the lens wide open and was also happy with the results
I previously used the 18-200 lens from Sony, but no more. G lenses from Sony are far Superior.
What's great about it: Sharp, contrasty, easy to hold, and simple to use.
What's not so great: Very large lens shade and a pricey.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent image quality, which is the most important to me - great sharpness. I haven't experienced any frustration with the autofocus, though I can see it isn't the quickest. Overall, I'm very pleased with this lens and for the price, would heartily recommend it for the fantastic telephoto range, compact size, and IQ.
