Great for daylight shooting
Pros: Low cost, good complement to the kit lens
Cons: Not the best in poor lighting
This lens works really well when you're dealing with good lighting conditions. To get really sharp images, you need to go up to about f/7.1 or f/8 aperture. You can use it much lower than that, but this isn't your best bet in low-light situations. For the price, it covers a nice range and can turn out some great images in preferable lighting. If you're coming into this from a "superzoom" camera, the kit lens combined with this lens get you almost a 17x zoom, with much better image quality and flexibility.

Great lens, Great bargain
Pros: clarity, weight, price
Cons: i only wish it was internal focusing, but then it would weigh more
I purchased this lens when I bought the A300. It's been a great experience. The clarity and contrast are very good, color rendition very natural. For its price this lens is a steal. highly recomennded!

I bought this lense with my A300 camera. As of today every picture that I have taken are excellent. For a beginner like me, this is a good lense. I recomend it to any one that want to take good picture from the distance.

Sony, truly like no other.
Pros: Easy to use, high quality, superior, Like no other.
Cons: none, this lens is flawless.
This lens has exceeded all of my expectations. It has an easy-to-use design and performs very well. The image quality is also superior to any other telephoto lens I have used. Sony has again proved its motto "Like no other."

Great Bargain
Pros: Price, value
Cons: Collects dust easily on rubber surfaces
The 75-300MM lens is a great value lens and it will easily satisfy the budget minded hobbyist or professional as well. This lens takes great photographs and it's zoom capabilities makes it one of my favorites. The only issue is the dust that easily collects on its rubber surfaces otherwise you cant beat this entry level piece of glass.
