Digital camera Review: Great for the money
Summary: 4 Stars

Just got my lens and decided to test it around my window. I wasn't expecting much, but it really surprised me. I'm amateur photographer and I like it my equipments to be good ones, and decided to give it a try, totaly knowing what it was all about, and my intention was to have fun, not to spend much $$, or to freeze an action or catch a bird on flight.
It is not fancy, it is not automatic, it is not light weight, and it is really hard to focus. Slide to zoom... very incovinient, but again, small price for the fun. The converter that came with is not great, and I think it is not even good. I'm using the 2x converter that came with alpha 330, seems to work much better. I got some good moon shots (cliche), but tried some street shots at day too, with good sun light and it was very nice, working better around mid range, but not too disapointing at 1300 also. Just have to be patience to get the focus right.
Another thing, is that due the weight you have to use a VERY good tripod or 2 of them. I have one so so, and a crappy one, and I only got a good 2600 shot using both, one for the lens and other for the camera. I don't have a remote for the shutter, so using the 10 second timer is a very good deal too.
The case barely fits the lens with the tmount, other than that, it is ok.
