positive:	Heavy ...i like it Build is great, all metal optic is great, all glass great range - 28-135 Fast rear AF IF..i like it Sharp image Standard 72mm ring
negative:	minimum focus distance is 1.5m????? Loud AF sound
comment:	Build like a tank and heavy... some may dislike it but i like it. It give you more steady holding the len. Image produced is sharp and the AF is fast. Wish that Sony build more len with rear focusing. Good for outdoor walk around len but not good for indoor as minimum focus distance is 1.5m. If the MFD is 0.5m Then this is a great len. if you found 1 is decent price , go and grab it. Good len.
