compared to:	missing
price paid:	425 USD (new)
positive:	Sturdy, Fast, Constant Aperture, SHARP

comment:	Excellent lens which pairs well with my Sony A33. I couldn't find anything else that had a standard zoom range, constant 2.8, at this price range. Perhaps if I had looked for used gear I could, but I am extremely happy with my purchase and don't know how I could be made happier in this range, weight, and sharpness even if money wasn't a concern.
