comment: | One of my top lenses, stays on my camera a lot. Great idoors, for parties. Nice color outdoors. I think all who own an a100 would love this lens. Unlike some others, I like the build, no it's not metal, but it does feel solid. The zoom ring has just the right ammount of play and it has some weight to it that seems to balance the a100 out perfectly. |
