Pros: Relatively light, sharpness at all focal and already good even at full aperture, AF silent and precise

Cons: Maybe AF not too fast

Opinion: I bought it today used in very good condition, if it were not for minor scratches almost imperceptible on the hood would seem new, as I was saying maybe the af not too fast but once hooked the subject with the continuous AF does not lose it, maybe I have not paid Little 890.00 euros I could insist for for an additional discount, had started from 1000 euros bought in a photo shop with a one year warranty. The few tests I made today make me think it's a great target. I work with A77II and A99II

Pros: Lightweight, portable, excellent nitdezza, fire engine mass, minimum distance of focus.

Cons: no

Opinion: For me it is a great goal, weight and limited and you can use the right light even freehand. The sharpness and 'very good as a trip from 70 to 400mm focus and fast and accurate especially with the Alpha 77, the minimum focusing distance of 1.5 meters and fire very comfortable and with an extension tube almost a macro. Excellent focus and sharpness super already closing of a stop.
