PURCHASED THIS LENS AS THE DISTANCE WAS GREATER THAN THE ONE WITH CAMERA,PLUS IT WAS AUTO AS WELL AS MANUAL AND I LIKE SONY PRODUCT GREAT LITTLE LENS.

Really, this is the only Sony NEX e-mount alternative for a decent telephoto. It's quite sharp but at the long end of the zoom the aperture is quite restricted and require some manual compensation in certain conditions.

The lens has an excellent range and does its job perfectly. This helps me in utilizing full potential of my NEX 5R ,as the 18-55 lens is certainly not enough!

I love my Sony NEX camera but for my family needs at school concerts and recitals and such I found my lens to be not much help in getting the close up or pixilated shot when cropping them out of the cast of many. I used the lens at the middle school fall concert .

nice package from sony

great lens; used it shoot soccer games and it was performing very well

a bit bulky

very nice compliment to the kit lens for my sony A6000 -- picks up at the 55 mm focal length and gives good reach for more distant subjects. this makes for a compact and light weight kit for travel and hiking. focus is fast and accurate. OSS makes for reasonable hand holding of telephoto shots.

Excellent. Value for money for the features it provides.

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Lightweight

When I bought my alpha-6000 Sony Camera, I wanted a telephoto to extend my reach. After lugging around big DSLR telephotos for years, this one is a dream since it's light and small while delivering excellent pictures.
