I'm sure if the price tag on this lens was $850 like their 70-300G Alpha lens it wouldn't surprise anyone. This is a finely machined metal and rubber lens that fits in your hand like a Italian leather glove. Extension and retraction of the lens is butter smooth.

Image quality is alright, but you won't find a better zoom for this price. I recommend this for a cheap, easy way to get some extra reach on your photos

To answer the first comment: You say you have the NEX-5 which should have come with the 18-55mm lens correct? If so then you should just go for this lens. 1) It is over $400 cheaper than the 18-200mm zoom lens and zooms further than that one by a bit.

Great price and great zoom

Bought this lens as a gift for my daughter who has a Sony Alpha 7 camera with E-mount fitting. I was worried about it clipping the image as this is APS-C not full frame but the lens works perfectly! No clipping, no changing any settings, no issues at all! Just click and shoot.

I bought this for My Sony A6000. Gives a good zoom range and is compatible with the A6000 without requiring an adapter. If you are buying a lens for an A6000 ensure that it is an SEL as the SALs are said to be compatible.....which they are but you have to buy an adapter at ￡200ish.

Perfect compliment to my existing lens set. It adds range and lets you get the shots that you just seem to miss with the 18-55. A little slow for sports but still quite good, I took some excellent shots at a soccer game. Well worth the price and for a light travel camera this is the best out there.

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.

This lens is extremely well designed, high quality and most importantly is capable of helping you take sharp, clear, full size digital SLR quality shots. It is far better than the stock lens that comes with the NEX5N camera. Highly recommended.

Crisp Shots
