I am satisfied with everything, both price and quality, I advise you to buy.

I use it with a5100 as the main one when traveling - I love the details. Compared with the ancient fix Minolta Tele-Rokkor-QF 200mm F / 3.5 - on average, no worse, only more versatile, although manual focus, color reproduction and aperture ratio do not allow you to get rid of this heavy monster completely.

: a lot has passed since then: this lens was bitten by a toothy dog ​​(surprisingly survived, only the manual focus began to stick), and I got a new SEL18135 - and in comparison with it, I will not recommend this product. It is better to save up a little for 18-135, and you will have much more convenience.

Pros

Pretty fast focusing (including in C-AF), a clear picture, and at the same time inexpensive. The stabilizer is working. Pretty short minimum focus distance.

Cons

Very poor manual focus - MF Assist resets magnification for unknown reasons all the time (not on SELP1650), very inconvenient little ring. For example, when shooting in a zoo, it is a big problem to focus on the animal and not on the grid.

Got pros: Comfortable, light, beautiful, very decent image quality. Cons below: Dark. Slow autofocus, sometimes rustling for about three seconds. At full zoom, noticeable chromatic aberrations come out in bright contrast photos.

Has pros: An excellent lens for shooting large objects. For a beginner, complete with a standard out of the box fit perfectly. Portraits, animals, flowers - are perfect. Has cons: I use it as my main. Perhaps a professional will find flaws. As a newbie, I haven't noticed yet.
