| positive: | Maintains sharpness throughout the entire zoom range, Build quality is excellent for a lens in this price range. Focusing speed and accuracy is outstanding on both my A77 and A77ii. I use this for sports with excellent results. |
| negative: | Some CA when wide open but not that bad |
| comment: | I don't think any under $1000 lens at this focal length can surpass it. It holds up well even wide open when examined at 100%. I wouldn't hesitate to make a 30x20 print from photos made with this lens. Contrast good. Color good. As You can see I really like this lens. I have used this lens on an A65, A77 and A77ii. My previous lens of this zoom range was the Sony 75-300 and to say this lens is much better in every way would be an understatement. |
