An excellent piece of kit, does exactly what you'd hope for!
(4 out of 5) by J. Lemon on Feb 13, 2009 (London)Purchased for our a350 for a safari, and I'd recommend for anyone needing a decent zoom lens. It's fast and top quality, the pictures are just brilliant.

Sony Alpha 75-300mm lens
(4 out of 5) by Jamie Regan on Apr 23, 2009 (Dunbar, Scotland)This is my first lens for my first DSLR and I wanted a lens that I could use for birwatching/ nature photos. I wasn't sure what I wanted and with so many types on the market, I figured at this price I could afford to get it wrong.
I have to say that I'm really impressed with the lens. It's very clear, it's easy to carry and the manual focus is easy, and quick to sort out.
I have realised it's not powerful enough for some of the shots I want, ie. birds at sea, but it's great for anything within 100 yards or so.
I'm very pleased to have this to play with and I'm sure I'll be able to sell on when I eventually upgrade.

Good lens for the price
(4 out of 5) by Mr. S. A. Slevin on Aug 11, 2008If on a budget this is a must have lens for your dslr. It will pretty much set you up for any shot due to its 70-300mm (105-450mm 35mm equivalent)
but obviously if you can stretch your budget, do so. I had this lens some years ago, had to sell to pay for something else. and im looking at buying a new one again, its that good. to sum up for a smidge over £100 its a great lens

Complements the system perfectly
(5 out of 5) by TruckiePilot on Apr 23, 2009 (OXON)I purchased this to complement the Sony Alpha kit I bought previously. I browsed the internet to find an equivalent lens but could not match the quality and price so I bought this one and I am not disappointed with the results. The fact it works exactly as advertised helps, however I do not have any other similar lenses to compare it with. My old 35mm film zoom lens on an OM10 compares favourably...at three times the price!
The auto focus works well and quickly helping in the composition of shots. All in all well pleased.

a great bargain
(4 out of 5) by muckshifter on Mar 14, 2009The Sony 75-300mm is designed to complement the standard 18-70mm kit lens, greatly extending the range without any overlap. Indeed since the 5mm difference between them is negligible, the pair offer a huge range from 18-300mm, delivering a 35mm-equivalent field of 27-450mm. The telephoto range of the 75-300mm is ideal for portraits, wildlife and sporting events, along with bringing-in any kind of distant detail.
