The 75-300MM lens is a great value lens and it will easily satisfy the budget minded hobbyist or professional as well. This lens takes great photographs and it's zoom capabilities makes it one of my favorites. The only issue is the dust that easily collects on its rubber surfaces otherwise you cant beat this entry level piece of glass.

I've been using this lens for about 6 weeks now. I have found that it takes good pictures at focal lengths shorter than 200mm as long as there are not any sharp lines with high contrast (i.e. black to white). If there are any areas with sharp black to white contrast, there is severe chromatic aberation. Also, above 200 mm the pictures aren't quite as sharp - you can definitely tell that they were taken with a telephoto lens. Given the price of this lens, these defects in the picutre may be expected. They are not very noticeable in 4x6 prints, but if you blow-up a picture or print larger than 4x6, they become very noticeable.

    The long zoom to buy for most Alpha owners

    By SKnabt

    from Richmond, VA

    Comments about Sony Telephoto Zoom Lens In Black Finish:

    I got this in a bundle with my a65 body. Even at full retail the lens is a reasonable value. The build is very solid but not too heavy. I've read reviews where color fringing is a problem but with firmware corrections turned on I haven't noticed this. I didn't expect to use this lens as much as the kit lens but find it's better built and funner to play with depth of field with. It's also surprisingly a much better 'macro' lens than the 18-55mm for taking pictures of flowers and such.

    75-300 lens

    By jrd99

    from rochester hills, mi

    Comments about Sony Telephoto Zoom Lens In Black Finish:

    This comment is not a review of the lens, rather it is a comment about previously posted cmments. I have debated quite a bit about this lens over the 55-200 and while i have not made up my mind yet, I will just say that the 75-300 is not an auto-focus lens.some of the folks comments are relating it as such, but it is a manual focus lens and not controlled by the electronics of the body.

    Good zoom lens

    By willdirosa98

    Comments about Sony Telephoto Zoom Lens In Black Finish:

    I baught this lens just before I went to africa, it really helped me get the photos i needed of the aimals wich were sometimes far away and I caught great photos in the end. But I always had to use manual focus because I found the autofocus was noisy and very slow. Which if an animal was running I would find it easier to use manual focus rather then have to wait for the autofocus. But still a great lens in overall just remember that if you are going to buy it it has a slow autofocus.
