"This is absolutely a first rate lens that is second to none when it comes to quality! I have not taken it off the camera since I got it. I have wanted this lens since Sony announced it over two years ago. Unlike most anything else, I've waited, primarily due to the price. I actually thought about picking up the 28-75 2.8 when it came out, but after looking at one in a store, decided I just didn't want to comprimise on this one. I finally took the plunge and am kicking myself for waiting so long."

"This is the lens I won't leave home without! It's light, sharp, fast under most lighting conditions, and never disappoints as long as my expectations don't exceed it's specifications. The color this lens produces continues the Minolta legend for being bright, with a warm touch and the bokeh is smooth, too.
