| ownership: | I own this lens |
| compared to: | Minolta AF 4,5-5,6/75-300mm (new), Sony A 4,5-5,6/70-300 mm G SSM II |
| price paid: | 269,00 € |
| positive: | Relatively light, sharp as measured by the reasonable price, useful zoom range, caps lock prevents "Zoom Creep", AF on the A77II sufficiently quickly and accurately. |
| negative: | SAM-drive, AF speed in low light, rotating front element. |
| comment: | At the A77II a great combination for animal and nature shots thanks to the large zoom range. Unbeatable price/ performance ratio. Except for the naturally slower SAM-drive hardly worse than the four times more expensive Sony A 4.5-5.6/70-300 mm G SSM II. Sharper than the Minolta AF 4,5-5,6/75-300 mm (new). Highly recommended! |
