    Incredible lens for the price
    Lenses, even a 'bargain' lens like the Sony 75-300, are expensive in absolute terms (at least at my budget level) so, like most folks, I researched my options to death. In the end, Sony offered a bundle of the 18-55mm and 75-300mm lenses with the a65 camera that effectively cut $100 off the price of this lens. Even at full price, it's an excellent value. The other Sony alternative, the Sony 70-300 G series lens, currently sells at $999. At the time, I could have picked up one at $899 but still it's a huge premium for some nice to have features and marginal image improvements (many of which the a65 can correct with firmware settings). If money were no object, sure I'd go G.The proof of the performance is in the photos. I uploaded 4 photos I took at a local zoo. If you're an amateur like myself wanting to up your vacation, family, etc photos to the next level an order of magnitude better than compact point and shoot or super-zoom (where I upgraded from) cameras this lens is for you. With no real experience (used an Olympus SLR in the '80s-'90s, Lumix FZ35 recently), I was able to take several hundred pictures at the zoo, most of which are 'pro' quality. All the pictures were taken hand held on an overcast, gloomy day but none were blurred by camera shake.I had considered the Sony 55-200mm lens that did comparatively about as well in reviews and is more compact. You save $50 but I find myself so often at the long end of the 75-300mm lens I'm very glad to have the extra 100mm to work with. Sometimes I hear people complain working at the long end of this zoom range is a real challenge. Personally, I find it pretty easy to work with and I'm certainly nothing special in terms of having a steady hand. In fact, that's the whole point of the Sony Alpha system. Coupled with the a65 body, the 75-300mm lens is a no-brainer to operate. Keep in mind on Sony bodies like the a65 this lens has an effect zoom range equivalent to a 35mm 112.5-450mm.I shoot a lot of macro shots of flowers. Initially, I though that's what I'd use the kit 18-55mm lens for. The 18-55mm lens is okay for this purpose; however, I find the 75-300mm usually produces far better results.If you're into pixel peeping to evaluate the quality of this lens with a comparison to the Sony 70-300 G lens, Google "Kurt Munger" for a great in-depth review.The main complaint I hear about the bargain range of Sony lenses in reviews is the cheap auto-focus. I find it works well. On rare occasions I'll manually focus particularly when I'm doing close-up shots in more of a macro mode. It's not silent but I wouldn't call it loud in absolute terms but I don't have any experience with more expensive Sony lenses or other manufacturers' systems to compare it to except Canon and Nikon kit lenses.Build quality is fine. Sure, the body is all plastic but it feels solid, not cheap at all. It comes with an attachable lens hood. Personally, lens hoods rarely block flair in my experience but, hey, it's free. It attaches to the lens in reverse for storage.I'm giving it 5 stars because I can recommend it without reservation and I'm extremely pleased with my purchase. I'm suffering from no G lens envy.
