Good general purpose lens for Sony "A-mount" cameras. Good general purpose lens for Sony ILCA-99M2 and original Sony SLT-99. Since it has an electric driven SAM motor for focus, it is well suited for video recording as it is nearly silent. This lens was provided in a kit on the initial release of the Sony SLT-A99V. It is currently mounted on my Sony ILCA-99M2 being generally well suited for non-critical casual use. For professional work the more expensive alternatives would be better. The lens is relatively light weight being particularly well balanced on full frame Sony "A" series cameras. It performs well on Sony APS cameras such as the Sony SLT-A77V and newer model. Many reviews describe the lens as being almost identical to the Tamron f2.8 28-75 2003 version but it is not screw driven focus as that lens. The Tamron is a very good lens as I also have it mounted on a Sony SLT-A99 camera but not as well suited for video recording when using auto focus due to sound of screw driven focus motor.Read full review
Good quality for the price! The Sony SAL2875 can be found for a reasonable price used. It's a very good value compared to the alternatives. It can be used on Sony mirrorless cameras via the LA-EA3 or LA-EA4 adapters.
