I have this lens & shoot with Nikon D80/D90/D7000 with the Nikon range it is quiet, fast focus & sharp as a tack f8 & above. For the money this is a great lens for the budget conscious photographer. Yeah it is pretty impressive with the lens hood on but absolutely necessary in strong light. Advise buying a good strong steady tripod for those long range shots for wildlife etc. You will not be disappointed with this lens...........trust me!
@wouterthebmxer that sound isnt the lens its the camera, unlike most new dslr's sony has the af motor in the camera instead of in the lens, making it very noisy and slow
Please take the lens cap off when doing AF testing with extremely low light the camera will severely cap the AF speed in order to catch low contrast focus objects.
I'm an Alpha shooter and I'm telling you it does. But, you don't have to believe me. Also, if something is "focusable" it will move faster instead of it hunting and never seeing improvement.
@eightballrj That's the problem with oh so many "AF-Speed" videos on youtube. They just let the motor cycle from close to infinity with lens cap on. No infect by AF-module performance. As soon as it can find contrast to lock on, it will move the lens faster as in these videos. And if you use spot only, the overall average speed gains again. - If I'm right this lens is even body driven. A A700 or A850/A900 will cycle faster. --- @WetOct0puS Birds tend to fly away if you come too close ;o)
How much would it to buy this camera?

It seems to focus very slowly. How easy is it to manually focus this lens as I could probably focus faster?

Tested it, makes no difference in speed if i'm testing it with the cap on or off aiming straight at a lightbulb.

I will make a new video tomorrow ( 2 AM over here now ) covering the autofocus of this lens.
If you have any tips of what i should test please say so, so i can test it.
