Pretty Good Lens

 

Pretty Good Lens

It has great zoom, good focus, and decent focus speed as well. It works perfectly with my Sony a100. I have had problems with purple fringing, however. It doesn't always handle bright light so well. For the low price, I am happy with this lens.

Bargain for the price.

I got this as a walk around lens, and it's probably a little more than I expected. The optical quality is good, it's even OK at max zoom. Two things I don't like are: 1-the lens zoom slides when the camera is pointed up or down. 2-it doesn't work well...
