Crazy Bang for the Buck‼️ I cannot imagine how this lens can be had in like new condition for $30. Functionally outstanding as far as focus speed & full integration with the a77II, lightweight, & mind boggling ease of use when compared with older Minolta & Sony offerings. What it lacks in expensive build,, metal, & high end crisp images, it more then makes up for focal range & fitting well in multiple situations. As a long time collector of A mount lenses I deem this one a best buy for 98% of of the internet posting, “Joe walk around”, Sony A crop sensor digital photographers out there.
Good to Go Seems to work great ... still learning and look forward to using lens for some great shots!
Great additional lens for Sony Alpha series Great lens. Glad I purchased it, because I've gotten a lot of use out of it for family photos.
