I will be accused of being mad, and maybe i am a bit contrary, but i was unhappy with the weight and range of my beercan zoom, so i sold it on ebay and bought one of these, getting a tenner back in savings in the process. i now have a lighter lens that is compact enough to fit inside my standard Sony alpha soft case, and has massively more focal reach. My camera is a Sony A65, and i'm only a holiday and special days photographer, but if there is a reduction in image quality compared to the beercan, i can't see it.

I was nervous about buying a lens on eBay but on first use today it seems excellent! It was packed with so much bubble wrap there was no chance it would break. The lens has done what it said it would and the pictures are very clear. Would recommend

Great value for money, producing very sharp images, smooth auto focus. Grab one if you can. Mine cost under £30 on ebay and is like new. Bargain would have paid more.

The chief advantage of this lens is its lightness. Obvious one pays for in terms of low apertures. Its main use would be as a "vacation lens" for which it is excellent. This because you can carry it plus camera all day without getting tired. Carrying a camera + say a Tamron 70-200 f2.8 is about 2kg - not good for walkabouts. Weakness is probably the picture quality, but it is still streets ahead of point and snap cameras.
The lens looks new, works like new, fits perfectly and gives me a longer lens than the two i already have. I'm an "amateur" so more easily pleased than "real" photographers but it's foolproof and quite quick to refocus so I think I made a great choice and got it supplied in great time by an excellent eBay seller at a very competitive price.
