What's Hot: This Sony lens is worth every cent I paid for. The images are terrific, sharp and well defined although a bit more saturated than normal.

Review: I needed a travel soom lens for my Sony A350 for travels and photo essays in Hong Kong as well. I researched the net and read many reviews. All of them helped me to add this lens to my the other Sony Zeiss 24-70mm 2.8 which is also fantastic for closer images. I will definitely recommend this lens to anyone, you will be surprised and not regret the purchase.
