positive:Nicely built. Smooth manual focus. Very nice finish unlike the old finish they used to use.
negative:Does not have lightning fast focus.
comment:I had alot of hope for this lens, and it has not let me down. I was disappointed with the two different copies Sony version,
and hoped this lens would be great. It is everything they say about it as far as sharpness goes. The only knock i can give this lens is it is a little slow to focus, but does not hunt. Just takes a little longer to get where it should. It has not cost me any shots, so i have been fine with it. Colors are great as well. Very happy with this purchase.
