Great addition to camera capabilities Quality product, easy to use, good sharp pictures. Be advised: it is bigger than the camera and on the heavy side, and seems a bit slow to focus. Because of which it is a bit slower to handle than I would recommend for action shots. I don't use it for action shots, so it is a moot point for me, but it might be important for some others. It could be my personal experience and different for others. Other than this caveat it is a high quality lens and I highly recommend it. There is a variant on this model, the LE version, which is a bit lighter.
Decent consumer-grade lens, if you get a decent one I got this lens used, and it isn't particularly clear. It's okay for an entry-level long zoom, but not really much better than the much cheaper standard 55-210 kit zoom lens except for the wider range and a little faster glass. Other reviews indicate that it's better if you get a clearer copy, but obviously not all of them are equally good, especially used.
One Must have lense for Sony Alpha Mirrorless I personally liked this lens quite a bit. We visited Yellowstone and Glacier national parks recently. I was looking for on lens for wide and zoom, to prevent constant swapping. This lens delivers both and is portable. I just wish it would support more wider angles.
