comment:	I felt like a true Sony/Minolta photographer mounted to my camera. This lens helped me with my "fear" of street photography (shooting strangers was somehow difficult) and I just loved being able to reach details around me that I could only slightly see before. It is heavy, it hunts, there are CA issues but it's all worth the ride. I loved the colors and if I wasn't about to get the 70-300G, I would have bought a Beercan instead.
