Excellent lens, apparently a relabelled aesthetically Konica Minolta 75-300 (D), zoom lens from a publisher of a magazine, the second photo is a relabelled aesthetically Konica Minolta 75-300 (D) telephoto zoom lens, which is a goal that I am the owner (which is certainly exactly the same lens of 75-300 km, but with the name "Sony"). In this case, I have the following opinion: (1) Excellent construction quality, is a goal very well made, good finish, not too heavy, but solid and without the "plastic" feel of many mid-range objectives, (2) excellent optical quality, with good sharpness even at a focal length of 300 mm longer zooms begin to show poor quality (3) very special, almost zero distortion throughout the zoom range (very different from some Sigma zoom I own, which is clearly visible pincushion distortion ). This could well be the lowest distortion 75-300 telephoto each machine (4) A caveat: autofocus in low light: on my Minolta Maxxum 7 camera with auto focus system is apparently much like the Sony Alpha 100, the device has problems in automatic Focusing objective 75-300 300mm (whose opening is only 5.6) in light weaker than direct sunlight. This is probably the same with any lens 5.6 or slower. I found myself switching to manual focus can be adjusted to 300 mm, unless the subject is too bright. NOTE: The Konica Minolta 75-300 (D) the goal is always for about $ 140, and would with Sony Alpha cameras, and the real purpose Sony marked work. 84 of 87 customers found this review helpful. Great lens, but it takes some getting used to! By Peter A. Czajkowski Recently I left the Sony DSC 707 with the Sony DSLR A 100 The change in the Cyber-shot cameras with the NPC took some getting used to. I bought the Sony 75-300mm telephoto lens from Amazon and as soon as I got it installed the lens and started using it I am totally with the lens, the forward price and its capabilities. He with a SLR for almost 30 years, moving into the DSLR takes some time and patience. Sony A100 is a solid perfom, and this is my fourth Sony digital camera. For the avid photographer, Sony 75-300mm telephoto well priced and offers exceptional performance. When the lens is quite long, if you discover at the maximum telephoto, the lens is. If the lens is a shadow of it anymore and takes some reflection handling in tight spaces. The extreme focus speed A 100 is fast and vary depending on what best suits focus. The lens in AUTO mode is constantly adjusting. The key item is a little weird to. The lens is just as nice on th A100 Like most photographers, you find the best hand position on the camera body and lens, so you can feel comfortable while you shoot the target depth of field is ultra sensitive. Have had the lens on the camera now for a month, I begin to adapt its "regulatory activities sometimes hyper, I am in no way disappointed with telephoto lenses because I have kept and registered trademarks are the first with Sony 100 and Sony 75-300mm lens . As with all new cameras, it takes time to become familiar with the settings of the camera lens and activity. I recommend the lens with an awarness of its sensitivity, and length. After hours of footage, I am satisfied with the lens, and Sony's attention to detail in both construction and performance of the lenses. If you own a Sony DSLR A 100, or planning to invest in Sony DSLR system, this lens does not disappoint. You can review your pictures and they were satisfied with the results, Sony lens. I intend to invest in other Sony lenses in the future, for now, the two lenses SONY fulfill my photographic needs very well. Sony entered the market for digital SLR camera with an excellent and quality.
