Rated 5 out of 5 stars by 16 users at B&H Photo Video

"I bought this lens to replace a 70-300mm Quantary for my Sony 350 and I just love it! I like the fact that I don't have to remove the lens when I need up close shots."

"I am very pleased with the pictures that I have taken with this lens so far. I've gotten some very crisp and clear shots with it."

"The only drawback to it that I have noticed is that when you zoom in and out it is not as smooth as I would like."
