As one who takes tens of thousands of sports action photos annually, I was leery about buying a non-Sony lens for the Alpha, but the price and rebate offer made this a good bet that the lens would be useful for something.

It replaced the 28-70 & 75-300 Sony lenses and gave me the opportunity to use one lense instead of choosing one of the other two.

I must say, I was greatly impressed. The first games, both volleyball indoors and football outdoors with flash, were spectacular. The clarity and focus was much better than the Sony lenses ever gave me. I was able to get action from the whole game, not just what was close or far away, but both at once.

I really prefer this lense over the Sony lenses. That Tamron f/2.8 big telephoto is looking like my next buy. Thank you for providing me with the best lens I've had.
