This is not the best 70-300mm lens you can buy but for the price you can't beat it. What I like. - Size - Build quality - Zoom range (with the 1.5x crop factor with AF-S sensors (Anything but the A850 or A900) it is a 112.5-450mm 35mm equivalent - Little lens creep What I am not crazy about - Plastic not metal - a little slow at times with f/5.6 (but that is common for this class, my Nikons have the same issue) - Wish it had a zoom lock like the new Nikon VRII 18-200mm

I tested this lens with 70-300mm beercan, sigma 75-200mm 2.8/3.5, Sony got very fast AF against all of them, you need this in sport mode. For pictures quality i'm very impress on how sharp it is, I read lot of reviewer and they complaint soft side, not sharp at 300mm and so forth....but I don't know about that, I haven't got any problem at all. Where the beer can got good reputation for been sharpness it not true, AF on beer can is slow..IQ is the same as Sony no difference.

I ordered the lens on Monday and it arrived on Thursday! I was very happy with how prompt the seller responded. The lens is all I expected.
