Great A mount lens on an E mount camera Bought this lens for my A7Rii it’s the A mount so I needed the adapter. Got the LA-EA3 adapter after reading reviews that this one works flawlessly and I wasn’t disappointed.
The lens is fast at focusing and pin point sharp. Used it at a circus performance and the 2.8 is awesome at getting the lighting spot on in Aperture mode. Definitely not disappointed with this purchase.

GET IT…. if the price is right! First off if you can get this lens for a few hundred less than retail-between $1900-2000 do it! It takes incredible pictures! Still learning how to use this lens with my new A77, but it doesn’t seem too hard to figure out. Build quality is exceptional, but it is a very heavy lens (to be expected for this type of lens) and if you pair it up with a flash and vertical grip it weighs a ton. only complaint is that the rubber used on the focus and zoom rings collects every little spec of dust and dirt like a magnet. Other than that, it is a beautiful looking lens that takes excellent pictures. Oh yeah, tripod mount is kind of a pain in the but to remove.

Finally!! I’ve wanted this lens for my Sony Alpha camera for a long time now, but couldn’t handle the asking MSRP. This “gently used” lens is perfect. Great condition and I expect years of good use from it. Plus, I can use my 1.4x tele-etender and still have auto focus capability which my 100-400 seris G lens doesn’t allow.
