For the money the quality is great.


And the quality is really quite good.

Price


Had the stock a6000 lens and decided it was time to upgrade.

Packaging/appearance


I also have the sel1018, sel50f18, sel35f18, and the kit selp1650 (which i never use).

Competitiveness


Loving using it with my sony a7r


By far a much better lens than the sel1650 kit lens which oringally came with my a6000.


And finally, this lens is small, compared to old-school 70-200mm zoom lenses with the same apertures wide open.


I have a sony a6000 and am only interested in photography so this lens was perfect.
