Digital camera reviews of Sony 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Compact Super Telephoto Zoom Lens for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Camera
Digital camera Review: Terrific lens
Summary: 5 Stars
I have the identical Konica Minolta version of this lens. It is a very nice lens and since it is fairly small and light and not too expensive, perfect for travel if you need a tele zoom. Uses common less expensive 55mm filter size.Digital camera Review: This lens is worth every dollar
Summary: 5 Stars
Dont let this lens fool you.yes, it's plastic on the outside and glass on the inside.But it is of very high quality optically for the price you will not be disappointed I spent more on the Canon 40D with the 28-135 kit lens with IS and even on the sharpest settings this camera the A200 and 75-300 F4.5-5.6 smokes it in image quality the 300 end is a little soft but if you stop it down to f8 it sharpens up ...Not as sharp as the 70-300G ssm but a good budget lens until you can afford the G LENSDigital camera Review: This lens opens a whole new dimension.
Summary: 5 Stars
What a fun lens this is, and what wonderful new photos I can now take with my Sony A700! I have enjoyed my photography hobby since 1950 and have used all sorts of different camera formats and brands as well as dozens of lenses of all kinds. I have entered and won contests, and I have done exhibitions, so I am not completely an amateur in photography. I can say that this lens lives up to everything it claims it can do. The images are clear and in focus, even in the corners at full zoom. It works well in low light, and it is fast enough that I rarely need to use a tripod. It is just as easy to operate as any of the zoom lenses of my 35 mm film cameras. Great product. I'm going to have quite a bit of fun with this.Digital camera Review: Very good lens for a new photographer.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this together with the Sony Alpha (very good deal from Amazon). The lens is a great complement to the kit lens or the identical but older KM 18-70. Images are very sharp and the lens is built very well. Great for wildlife imaging. The other reviewers are right; the AF isn't too good at the long end of this lens but overall a great camera.
The end of the lens DOES ROTATE while zooming. It may not be good for some filters.
Digital camera Review: What A Bargain!
Summary: 5 Stars
Prequel: I am coming from a strict Nikon background and due to having my $4000 kit(D80, 3 VR, 3 2.8 pro lenses, etc) stolen out of my car, am starting all over again. That being said, I don't have $4000 to plop down at once, so I decided to get an "entry to mid-level" system and after many internal battles, decided to try something different and go with the Alpha system. My thoughts were if things didn't work out with this setup, I haven't spent that much and could use it for a carry-around camera. So far I see absolutely NO reason to go back to Nikon. Yes, this system is THAT good.
Sony 75-200mm f/4.5-5.6 Lens: Wow. I sincerely cannot BELIEVE this lens is only $229! As many reviews point out, this lens has virtually ZERO distortion from 75mm all the way up to 300mm and purple fringing(CA) is contained nicely. Needless to say, for a lens at this price point to preform this well is unheard of. This lens combined with the super quick AF of the a200 is a perfect marriage. I compared this to the super sharp Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR, and although the Nikon is a bit sharper and performs better in low light, the IQ difference is surprisingly small. I can highly recommend this lens and the Sony Alpha system as a whole!
