If you’re under a budget and appreciate beginner level wildlife photography, this is a good choice.
If you are looking for a cheap, budget zoom lens for the alpha cameras i would recommend this.
Sharpness is to be desired, hey this costs 5 times less than your premium ones so no complaints.

I used this with an older model sony alpha 3000 and it worked like a charm.
Focus is prominent and ideal in well lit conditions, making it a good deal for sony mirrorless line-up.
I own an older model of sony α nex 3 which i imported from usa.
