I ordered my lens for over night delivery because I was going on a trip. To my horror I discovered that I ordered it in the wrong mount! When I checked my order with Amazon it stated that my order was being prepared for shipment and could not be canceled or changed. So I clicked that "phone me" button and sure enough Amazon called in less than a minute. The lady could not change my order but she did cancel it. I ordered the lens with the proper mount and received it the next day. Excellent build quality. Comes in a quality case that is well padded. Fast focus and SHARP! With Sony's built in image stabilizer I am able to get sharp pictures even at 500mm hand held. Can't ask for much more than that!

I have had this lens for a few months. The lens is great for birding and other nature shots. I have been very pleased with this lens. To get a better lens means spending quite a bit more cash. It is light and I use a shoulder rig in a canoe for a lot of my work. On the downside it takes complete sunshine to get good, sharp shots. The color and the contrast are a little weak , but can be easily "fixed " in photoshop. For the money this lens is a no brainer. Just look at the pics. ! Now for an L lens !!!
