Most helpful reviewsAlan, keen photographer
- Good points:
- using this lens on a SLT 77, balance is good.This lens is almost silient when in auto focus, build is solid,very sharp and quick to autofocus. A good all round lens to have a little heavy but expected from a quality lens. if you are a serious photographer I would recommend that you get this wonderful lens it changes the quality of photographs taken
- Bad points:
- auto/manaul focus switch can be a little fiddley at first,but manageable.
