I am so glad that I purchased this lens. I have received so many compliments about my pictures when using this lens. A trip to Florida recently resulted in spectacular pictures. Also a trip to Yankee Stadium resulted in great pictures. Highly recommended item!

For the avid photographer, the SONY 75-300mm Telephoto lens is priced well and will provide exceptional performance. Once you attach the lens you will discover when in maximum telephoto mode, the lens is quite long.

I am very happy with it.

Works good

I don’t really know what to say here. I’ve only used it once, shooting a wedding with a friend. It did well.

As far as ordering through Amazon it was here promptly, as usual, and I’ve had no problems mechanically.

Great Zoom Performance

I bought this item to replace an old “beer can” 7 to 200 Minolta Zoom that I was using for my Sony Alpha. I was leaving on a trip to India where I wanted the have the capability of getting close-in on individual images with a lighter weight lens. And it was on sale!!!

The initial results are great. I was able to get real close to 3 Bengal Tigers on a game preserve that were at least 100 yards away. I got faces, and colors and exciting things that would not have been as good as as on my old Minolta Lens.

I check around for this item the price from amazon is unbeatable, the delivery is also good. the lense works very very good. it meets all my expectations.

Solid performer
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
This repackaging of the Konica-Minolta 75-300 is a solid performer, at a reasonably good price. If you like to stay with the camera manufacturer’s own products, then you’ll not be disappointed. Packaging includes the front & rear caps; lens shade & 1 year warranty.

Keeping in mind that the KM lenses came out well before any digital SLRs from that brand, you might want to check out the Tamron 70-300 LD Di zoom. It’s a new optic that’s “Digitally Integrated”, has a 1:2 close-up mode, “Low Dispersion” glass, and a six year warranty.

Additionally, you might look around for one of the Konica-Minolta lenses at a discount.

This lens is way bigger than I thought is was going to be but, it is everything I was hoping it would be. Great zooming capabilities, fantastic picture quality. In one word, WOW. Sony has never let me down, I will continue to buy their products, they’re worth every penny you spend for them. The camera I bought this lens for (Alpha 350 ) is teriffic also. Put the two together and I’ve got a great setup. Through Amazon, I got the lens quickly, packed well, and it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg.Sigma 70-300mm F/4-5.6 DG Macro Telephoto Lens for Minolta and Sony SLR CamerasSony Alpha DSLRA350K 14.2MP Digital SLR Camera with Super SteadyShot Image Stabilization DT 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6 Zoom Lens

I am somewhere between a neophyte and an amateur photographer. I bought a Sony A200K as my first DSLR and love it but soon discovered the limitations of the lenses it came with. I consulted pros to see what my next lenses was going to be and this 75-300mm was it. Since I don’t have a lot of bucks right now, I took a chance on a used one and this thing was in mint condition. But I was soon doing some incredible jaw-dropping shots from the time I got it attached to my camera, Close ups of flowers, Animals, and yes even bugs jumped right out with amazing clarity and color… Amazon, the seller and this lenses made me a professional photographer most of the time. I couldn’t be happier.

What A Bargain!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Prequel: I am coming from a strict Nikon background and due to having my $4000 kit(D80, 3 VR, 3 2.8 pro lenses, etc) stolen out of my car, am starting all over again. That being said, I don’t have $4000 to plop down at once, so I decided to get an “entry to mid-level” system and after many internal battles, decided to try something different and go with the Alpha system. My thoughts were if things didn’t work out with this setup, I haven’t spent that much and could use it for a carry-around camera. So far I see absolutely NO reason to go back to Nikon. Yes, this system is THAT good.

Sony 75-200mm f/4.5-5.6 Lens: Wow. I sincerely cannot BELIEVE this lens is only $229! As many reviews point out, this lens has virtually ZERO distortion from 75mm all the way up to 300mm and purple fringing(CA) is contained nicely. Needless to say, for a lens at this price point to preform this well is unheard of. This lens combined with the super quick AF of the a200 is a perfect marriage. I compared this to the super sharp Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR, and although the Nikon is a bit sharper and performs better in low light, the IQ difference is surprisingly small. I can highly recommend this lens and the Sony Alpha system as a whole!

I purchase the Sony 75-300mm F/4.5-5.6 Compact Super Telephoto Zoom Lens for the Sony Alpha Digital SLR Camera. The product was rated used but in good condition. When I received the product there was no indication it had ever been used and the box it came in was brand new. This product should have been classified as new because that’s how I received it.

I would definitely purchase from the seller again!

Excellent lens, apparently a cosmetically re-labelled Konica Minolta 75-300 (D) Zoom lens
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
According to a photo magazine, this is a cosmetically re-labelled Konica Minolta 75-300 (D) zoom telephoto, which is a lens that I own (it certainly looks exactly the same as the KM 75-300 lens, but with the ‘Sony’ name). In which case, I have the following review:

(1) Excellent construction quality, this is a very nicely made lens, excellent finish, not too heavy but solid and without the ‘plastic’ feel of many medium-priced lenses;

(2) Excellent optical quality, with good sharpness even at the longest 300mm focal length where most zooms begin to show poor quality;

(3) VERY UNUSUAL: near-zero distortion throughout the entire range of focal lengths (very different from some Sigma zooms that I own, which have conspicuously visible pincushion distortion). This may well be the lowest-distortion 75-300 telephoto from any maker.

(4) ONE CAVEAT: AUTOFOCUS IN LOW LIGHT: on my Minolta Maxxum 7 film camera, whose autofocus system is apparently quite similar to the Sony Alpha 100, the camera has difficulty autofocussing the 75-300 lens at the 300 mm setting (where the aperture is only f/5.6) in light weaker than direct sunlight. This is probably the same with any f/5.6 or slower lens. I have found myself switching to manual focus at the 300 mm setting if the subject is not brightly lit.

NOTE: the Konica Minolta 75-300 (D) lens is still available, for about $140, and reportedly will work with Sony Alpha cameras just as well as the similar lens labelled Sony.

Average lens for an average price, Good as a starter lens
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
Nice starter lens to get long ranges but does not perform well in lower light, as it was not designed to. I got this with the ALpha 200 kit for an extra $100 and it was worth that for sure, but if you are spending $200 or more, I would go with a walkaround lens 28mm to 300mm, you’ll use it more and can usually find something decent for around $300.

If you are getting as an add on and are on a budget, this is a great lens and will fit lots of situations.

I don’t have much to say. I’m quite new to the photography scene. I bought my first dSLR about 2 years ago. This was my first lens apart from the 18-70 mm that my a100 came with and I’m quite pleased. I found myself taking pictures of the night sky with the old lens and just wanted a closer shot of things so I bought the 75-300. I now have great shots of the moon and some constellations. I’ll probably buy another lens in the future since this purchase has really opened my eyes to just what you can do with a variety of lenses. Also a great lens for amateur birdwatching and sporting events. Took it out to Dodger Stadium and got some great shots.

Great lens at good price
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I tested this lens with 70-300mm beercan, sigma 75-200mm 2.8/3.5, Sony got very fast AF against all of them, you need this in sport mode. For pictures quality i’m very impress on how sharp it is, I read lot of reviewer and they complaint soft side, not sharp at 300mm and so forth….but I don’t know about that, I haven’t got any problem at all. Where the beer can got good reputation for been sharpness it not true, AF on beer can is slow..IQ is the same as Sony no difference.

Terrific lens

I have the identical Konica Minolta version of this lens. It is a very nice lens and since it is fairly small and light and not too expensive, perfect for travel if you need a tele zoom. Uses common less expensive 55mm filter size.

Great long range lens
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This is a great medium long range lens for your Sony Alpha 100 DSLR camera. The lens handles great and is easy to use.

The autofocus works quite well and aquires the focus pretty fast.

I was impressed with its zoom ability from the long range. With the anti-shake features of the camera I managed to take some outstandin long range shots without the use of tripod. Although I would strongly recommend one if you intend on doing long shots during limited lighting conditions.

The price of this lens is a little higher than I would like to pay. If you are a novice or amatuer photographer, you might be better off getting a lens that offers more abilities than this long range medium lens.

Either way you will find that this lens does has a home for you.

Great lens for the price
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is not the best 70-300mm lens you can buy but for the price you can’t beat it.

What I like.

- Size

- Build quality

- Zoom range (with the 1.5x crop factor with AF-S sensors (Anything but the A850 or A900) it is a 112.5-450mm 35mm equivalent

- Little lens creep

What I am not crazy about

- Plastic not metal

- a little slow at times with f/5.6 (but that is common for this class, my Nikons have the same issue)

- Wish it had a zoom lock like the new Nikon VRII 18-200mm

Great authentic product, great price

I’m completely new to the DSLR world and I’ve added this lends to my new alpha200 camera. I’m super happy with the results this lens gives me, sharp, noiseless, and strong colors. I don’t agree that the zoom takes that long. It’s not in millisec, but it doesn’t disturb. I’m very happy.

Great Lens But Takes Some Getting Used Too!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Recently, I moved from the SONY DSC 707 to the SONY A 100 DSLR. The change in cameras from the Cybershot to the DSLR took some getting used to. I purchased the SONY 75-300mm Telephoto lens from Amazon and as soon as it arrived I attached the lens and began to use it.

I am definitely pleased with the lens, the price and it’s capabilities.

Having used a SLR for almost 30 years, moving to the DSLR takes some time and patience. The SONY A 100 is a solid perfomer, and it is my fourth SONY digital camera.

For the avid photographer, the SONY 75-300mm Telephoto lens is priced well and will provide exceptional performance. Once you attach the lens you will discover when in maximum telephoto mode, the lens is quite long. If you attach the lens shade it’s even longer and takes some handling considerations in tight spaces.

The extreme focusing speeds of the A 100 are rapid and vary as it adjusts to the optimim focus. The lens in AUTO mode is in constant adjustment. This focus issue takes some getting used to. The lens balances quite nicely on th A 100. As with most photographers, you need to find the best hand positions on the camera body and lens so you can feel comfortable while you shoot. The lens is ultra depth of field sensitive.

Having had the lens on the camera now for a month, I am beginning to adjust to its “sometimes hyper adjustment activity”! I am in no way disappointed in the lens because the telephoto shots I have kept and recorded are first rate with the SONY A 100 and the SONY 75-300mm lens.

As with all new cameras, it takes time to become familiar with the camera settings and lens activity. I highly recommend the lens with an awarness of it’s sensitivity and length. After hours of shooting I am pleased with the lens, and SONY’s attention to detail in both lens construction and performance. If you own a SONY A 100 DSLR, or plan to invest in the SONY DSLR system, this lens will not let you down. You will review your photos and be pleased with the results the SONY lens provides you.

I intend to invest in other SONY lens in the future. As for now, the two SONY lenses fulfill my photographic needs quite nicely. SONY has entered the DSLR market with an outstanding camera and quality accessories.

This is my first SLR camera. I’m pleased I choose the Sony A100 Digital SLR Camera. I purchased the Sony 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Compace Super Telephoto Zoom Lens for it. I’ve taken wild life, landscapes, luna, and celestial pictures. I have been amazed are the sharpness of the photos. I would recommend it to a friend.

great lens, but slow AF in low light
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This is only telephoto lens I have, so I can’t compare it to anything. The thing I noticed is that autofocus in low light is very slow (1-2 seconds, sometimes even more), and sometimes it doesn’t even manage to get a focus. The good thing is that is has pretty large manual focusing ring, which is easy to use, much better (wider and much more to rotate) than on standard 18-70 that came with Sony camera kit.

In good lighting conditions it focuses almost as fast as 18-70.

The lens arrived quickly and in perfect condition. This product is of excellent quality. The entire purchase process was easy and efficient and the price beat the competition by a large amount. I’m very satisfied with the product and the distributor. I’m looking forward to using this lens in Antarctica.

Very good lens for a new photographer.
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I bought this together with the Sony Alpha (very good deal from Amazon). The lens is a great complement to the kit lens or the identical but older KM 18-70. Images are very sharp and the lens is built very well. Great for wildlife imaging. The other reviewers are right; the AF isn’t too good at the long end of this lens but overall a great camera.

The end of the lens DOES ROTATE while zooming. It may not be good for some filters.

This lens is worth every dollar

Dont let this lens fool you.yes, it’s plastic on the outside and glass on the inside.But it is of very high quality optically for the price you will not be disappointed I spent more on the Canon 40D with the 28-135 kit lens with IS and even on the sharpest settings this camera the A200 and 75-300 F4.5-5.6 smokes it in image quality the 300 end is a little soft but if you stop it down to f8 it sharpens up …Not as sharp as the 70-300G ssm but a good budget lens until you can afford the G LENS

not too shabby

The lens is a very solid unit. The auto focus is nice and tight and dosent play back and forth like my other telephoto lenses all in all i am very satisfied with my purchase.
