I'm very happy, it really is worth buying.

Quality lens for a lot of money. However, this is not a claim to the manufacturer, but to the national currency.
It is important to understand that this lens is !!! COMPROMISE !!! between quality, cost and size.
For such dimensions and weight, this is really one of the best NOT fixes, and not only for Sony. Very high quality, beautiful and comfortable item. Convenient for travel, spontaneous photo shoots, as a standard camera lens for every day.

It is by no means an ideal lens, and not a lens for all occasions.

Pros

- the feeling of a quality product in the hands: everything is adjusted, there is no backlash, a very planned rotation; - fast autofocus; - quiet; - convenient focal lengths for crop, constant aperture; - sharpness in the center; - cool color reproduction; - compact and small weight;

Cons

- sometimes lathers around the edges; - aperture, after all, 4.0 is not enough;

Has pros: Sharp, colorful, fast autofocus, excellent working stub. With its cons. Price. Although I bought a year ago for a promotion with a decent discount. And the current prices are outrageous.

Has some pros Size, weight, range of focal lengths. Different cons: A fierce soap on 30% of the frame in all corners. I sent the lens to the service center, they returned it the same. Obviously, defective lenses for $1000 are NORMAL for Sony.

The red price for him is $300. Buy a lens from Tamron - everything is OK with sharpness.

I use a year. Satisfied, there is no limit. The glass came across the right one, no blurring on all focal lengths. Is it possible to compare it with 16-50, which I threw into some box and forgot.
