- Great all around lens!When I first got my A73, I was only planning on getting one lens to use as a carry around / travel camera. It's much smaller and more compact than my former Canon 5D3 If you are using a Sony E mount camera and want just one lens this should definitely be on your short list. Pluses: It's light, has great bokeh and while not cheap, is much cheaper than anything from Sony's G or GM line. Minuses: Not really minuses but minor nits since there's not much else to pick on. The lightness comes from a plastic fantastic build quality. If you hold this lens and another lens from Sony or Sigma (or even some of Tamron's other lenses) you'll feel the difference. This lens is still light years ahead of Tamron's older lenses. Also if you are used to other branded lenses, the switched focus / zoom rings may require you to retrain your muscle memory otherwise you'll always be grabbing the wrong ring. Overall still a great lens and arguably the best bang for the buck on E mount at the present time, along with it's sibling 17-28 2.8 and you'll only really be missing a longer zoom (70ish to 200) to complete the common 3 lens combo.
- Great lens for priceAwesome autofocus, 28-75 mm works for me, and it is almost the same result than GE master
- ExcellentLove this lens. Only thing there is a spot on the images that I can’t find on the lens. It’s been on it since I bought it. But I love this lens.
- clean crisp sharpI have used this lens in low light shooting models and in bright light shooting on the beach. This lens excels in both areas, it is a clear crisp image that does not disappoint. One of my more recommended choices. For the money this lens is an awesome value, it might not be the G-master, but at less than half the weight and very similar picture quality this lens excels.
- Great Lens for the priceI went back and foward between this lens, for the price you can not beat it. There was not a big enough difference in picture quality, if any, to justify the price difference.
