The smoothness of auto-focus and quietness of focus is excellent. The unit itself is also light and well constructed. I understand that this unit is no longer being produced as Sony moves to a different type of lens system. Too bad.

High quality lens for a super-decent price. Doesn't fail to capture wide- or telephoto pics. Even has a lock for setting your focal length.

This Sony SAL55300 55-300mm lens is just a great piece of equipment for an Alpha Mount camera by Sony. I have a Sony Alpha 57 Digital Single-Lens Translucent (DSLT) Camera. (DSLT is a Sony DSLR type of camera.) This SAL55300 is an interchangeable lens for the a57 and like alpha mount camera. It goes on and off my a57 without any problems. The Auto-Focus (AF) works fast and in general all a57 features work without any problems whatsoever. It takes sharp pictures at all ranges. It comes with a lens hood that can be stored inverted on the lens as well as with a front cap and a rear body cap. It takes 62mm filters, and I have put a UV filter on mine to further protect the lens. Overall, I am very happy with Sony's SAL55300 lens.
This doesn't look like it was ever touched by anyone. It is as new as it can be and works just as it should. I wanted something with a little more versatility but still able to take great pictures and this does that. Nice to be able to deal with a reputable business and get great service with a great product. Good buy.

This lens continues where the SAL-1650 standard lens leaves off on the SLT-A77Q Sony camera. Very light compared to it's size, well balanced on the camera. Could be a bit better on the minimum f-stop, but still good overall in low light. Any minor aberrations are correctable with the camera firmware, so pictures are sharp, fringe free and distortion free for the most part. An excellent extra lens to keep in the gadget bag for quick interchanges. Quiet focus and quick in decent light.
