 What A Bargain! |

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! |
Great Zoom Performance

I bought this item to replace an old "beer can" 7 to 200 Minolta Zoom that I was using for my Sony Alpha. I was leaving on a trip to India where I wanted the have the capability of getting close-in on individual images with a lighter weight lens. And it was on sale!!!
The initial results are great. I was able to get real close to 3 Bengal Tigers on a game preserve that were at least 100 yards away. I got faces, and colors and exciting things that would not have been as good as as on my old Minolta Lens. |
Terrific lens

| 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. |
This lens is worth every dollar

| 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 LENS |
Excellent lens!

| I am so glad that I purchased this lens. I have received so many compliments about my pictures when using this lens. A trip to Florida recently resulted in spectacular pictures. Also a trip to Yankee Stadium resulted in great pictures. Highly recommended item! |
