Given the stablising kit is in the camera and not the lens then I wanted something that would work well even at the 300mm in relatively poor UK light. The build quality is excellent for the money; the quality of the pictures is really high and I like the zoom mechanism which is simply a pull action. Clearly there are lighter lenses but not at such a price. The 28mm is clearly a digital 28mm which is more like a 40mm on a film SLR but I didn't buy it as a wide angle and thus the 300mm is more like a 375mm for a film camera. I have used it with flash and daylight and the shots are good noting the f/4-6.3 limitations. If you are a hobbyist photographer like me this is really good value for money acquisition and even more so if you are buying in pounds on a visit to the US. Now need to find the right camera case to accommodate it! Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you?

Roenfeld "Shadoe" (Upton, WY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME) This review is from: Cosina AF 28-300mm f/4-6.3 MC Wide-Telephoto Lens Sony Alpha DSLR A900, A700, A350, A300, A200, A100 SLR Digital Camera (Electronics) I have been searching for a zoom lens for a while. This one, while a different color from my camera, fits it well and works great. It is 28-300 so I don't have to change lenses out if I want to take wider angle pictures. I am definatley happy with it and for the price it is well worth it. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you?

It is very sharp. Having a 28-300mm on a Alpha is fantastic. Source: http://www.amazon.com/Cosina-28-300mm-Wide-Telephoto-Digital-Camera/dp/B000JFFV7I
