comment:	I love this lens. I previously used a Sony 100mm F2.8 Macro on A-Mount for taking a lot of photos and it would constantly hunt. Now to have SSM on my macro lens is AWESOME. I use this with the OSS turned on and mated with my A9. It focuses so fast and the system altogether feels so responsive. Very quiet focusing motor. I personally do not hear it as it focuses. There was one time where it started hunting to focus in and out with no end but I figured that was a problem of the body and not the lens. I really like how the lens body doesn't change in length as it focuses. Going to this from a Sony/Minolta 100mm Macro will feel like comparing apples to oranges. Huge improvement.
