comment: | This APO lens is truly a lot better than the KM 75-300 in all respects. Looking at some of the reviews here, I wonder if some have been reviewing the standard lens and not the APO version. I have tried this lens on the A850 and A68 and they both perform very well with it. The clarity at 300mm is better than the 55-300 on the A68. This lens will now be my main lens for the A68 and will compliment the 70-400 on the A850. |
