Sony DT 55–300mm f/4.5–5.6 A-Mount Telephoto Zoom Lens: Capture incredible details, like the red-orange plumage of a robin, even from great distances. This lens features a Smooth Autofocus Motor (SAM) to quietly shoot videos or snap photos without disturbing your subject.
I do like the bulk of this lense. It just feels like a good quality piece. The LOCK feature is handy, makes it much easier to take on and off and for putting on the hood as well. The larger lens (62mm lens) is great, I do love it, I just wish it was the same size(mm) as my other 18-55mm and my 55-200mm which are 55mm lenses. I use a tethered strap with a lens cap attached to the camera and it doesn't fit on this one :( (small potatoes though) This is a replacement for my 75-300mm lens that just stopped AUTO focusing!!!! This lens has a $100 greater value and Best Buy swapped it out for me, even up!! That was very nice of them, due to the unavailability of the Sony Sal 75-300 for purchase anymore.

What's great about it: The best thing I think is the range from 55mm to 300mm.
What's not so great: 62 mm, larger than my others.
I would recommend this to a friend!
