Sony 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Compact Super Telephoto Zoom Lens for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Camera

Excellent lens, assumingly a cosmetically re-labelled Konica Minolta 75-300 (D) Zoom lens, August 21, 2006

According to a print magazine, this is a cosmetically re-labelled Konica Minolta 75-300 (D) wizz telephoto, which is a lens which we own (it positively looks usually a same as a KM 75-300 lens, though with a ‘Sony’ name). In which case, we have a following review:

(1) Excellent building a whole quality, this is a really easily done lens, glorious finish, not as great complicated though plain as great as though a ‘plastic’ feel of many medium-priced lenses;

(2) Excellent visual quality, with great ill temper even during a longest 300mm focal length where many zooms proceed to uncover bad quality;

(3) VERY UNUSUAL: near-zero exaggeration via a complete operation of focal lengths (very opposite from a little Sigma zooms which we own, which have conspicuously manifest pincushion distortion). This might great be a lowest-distortion 75-300 telephoto from any maker.

(4) ONE CAVEAT: AUTOFOCUS IN LOW LIGHT: upon my Minolta Maxxum 7 movie camera, whose autofocus complement is assumingly utterly identical to a Sony Alpha 100, a camera has worry autofocussing a 75-300 lens during a 300 mm environment (where a orifice is usually f/5.6) in light weaker than approach sunlight. This is substantially a same with any f/5.6 or slower lens. we have found myself switching to primer concentration during a 300 mm environment if a theme is not brightly lit.

NOTE: a Konica Minolta 75-300 (D) lens is still available, for about 0, as great as reportedly will work with Sony Alpha cameras usually as great as a identical lens marked down Sony.

Great Lens But Takes Some Getting Used Too!, November 9, 2006

By 

Peter A. Czajkowski – See all my reviews

  

Recently, we changed from a SONY DSC 707 to a SONY A 100 DSLR. The shift in cameras from a Cybershot to a DSLR took a little removing used to. we purchased a SONY 75-300mm Telephoto lens from Amazon as great as as shortly as it arrived we trustworthy a lens as great as began to operate it.

I am really gratified with a lens, a cost as great as it’s capabilities.

Having used a SLR for roughly thirty years, relocating to a DSLR takes a little time as great as patience. The SONY A 100 is a plain perfomer, as great as it is my fourth SONY digital camera.

For a zealous photographer, a SONY 75-300mm Telephoto lens is labelled great as great as will yield well-developed performance. Once we insert a lens we will find when in limit telephoto mode, a lens is utterly long. If we insert a lens shade it’s even longer as great as takes a little doing considerations in parsimonious spaces.

The impassioned focusing speeds of a A 100 have been fast as great as change as it adjusts to a optimim focus. The lens in AUTO mode is in consistent adjustment. This concentration emanate takes a little removing used to. The lens balances utterly easily upon th A 100. As with many photographers, we need to find a many appropriate palm positions upon a camera physique as great as lens so we can feel gentle whilst we shoot. The lens is ultra abyss of margin sensitive.

Having had a lens upon a camera right away for a month, we am commencement to regulate to a “sometimes hyper composition activity”! we am in no approach unhappy in a lens since a telephoto shots we have kept as great as available have been initial rate with a SONY A 100 as great as a SONY 75-300mm lens.

As with all latest cameras, it takes time to turn informed with a camera settings as great as lens activity. we rarely suggest a lens with an awarness of it’s attraction as great as length. After hours of sharpened we am gratified with a lens, as great as SONY’s courtesy to item in both lens building a whole as great as performance. If we own a SONY A 100 DSLR, or devise to deposit in a SONY DSLR system, this lens will not let we down. You will examination your photos as great as be gratified with a formula a SONY lens provides you.

I intend to deposit in alternative SONY lens in a future. As for now, a dual SONY lenses perform my detailed needs utterly nicely. SONY has entered a DSLR marketplace with an superb camera as great as peculiarity accessories.

What A Bargain!, June 24, 2008

Prequel: we am entrance from a despotic Nikon credentials as great as due to carrying my 00 kit(D80, 3 VR, 3 2.8 pro lenses, etc) stolen out of my car, am starting all over again. That being said, we do not have 00 to noise down during once, so we motionless to get an “entry to mid-level” complement as great as after many inner battles, motionless to try something opposite as great as go with a Alpha system. My thoughts were if things didn’t work out with this setup, we haven’t outlayed which many as great as could operate it for a carry-around camera. So distant we see positively NO reason to go behind to Nikon. Yes, this complement is THAT good.

Sony 75-200mm f/4.5-5.6 Lens: Wow. we unequivocally cannot BELIEVE this lens is usually 9! As many reviews indicate out, this lens has probably ZERO exaggeration from 75mm all a approach up to 300mm as great as purple fringing(CA) is contained nicely. Needless to say, for a lens during this cost indicate to preform this great is unheard of. This lens total with a super discerning AF of a a200 is a undiluted marriage. we compared this to a super pointy Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR, as great as nonetheless a Nikon is a bit crook as great as performs improved in low light, a IQ disproportion is surprisingly small. we can rarely suggest this lens as great as a Sony Alpha complement as a whole!
