Pros & Cons
Pros
For a burgeoning wildlife photographer this lens does it all - for less. The only drawback with my lens and the new one you can expect to get with amazon is that amazon will have a better warranty with the option of buying an extended one. The optic t... Read More
Even cropped way in image holds with barely any noticeable noise at all. Only ding is the auto focus quality. My keeper rate with this lens incorporating sony oss was not a great deal higher than the tamron without it.

Highlights
Quality
It shoots photos at its best image quality in sunlight and even during cloudy weather it still does a fantastic job.

Competitiveness

That lens is slightly better in image quality than the sigma but still the two are close.

Unless you are a professional who will really beat up the lens i would say there paying 1400 more for the sony is a waste of money
