Hello Cameralabs, love your vids :). This lens' full name is SAL 4.5-5.6 75-300mm right?

[cameralabs]

@beyoguz Yep, that's right!

[Shiverleaf]

Is there an equivalent lens for Canon DSLRs? I need a telephoto lens that doesn't cost massive amounts of cash.

[cameralabs]

There are lots of telephoto options for Canon. Go to cameralabs . com and check the canon len range in the lenses section.

i have a sony alpha 200 and when i maka a pic the photos is not sharp and in the hole photo you see all little grains so what can it be?(my AF-area was on point)

[cameralabs]

What was your ISO sensitivity setting? Sounds like it was quite high - say, 400 or 800 ISO or higher, and what you're seeing is electronic noise. To avoid this, you'll need to shoot at lower ISOs like 100 and 200 ISO, but these in turn need more light, which normally means longer exposures.

looking for a nice telephoto as an additional lens to my 18/55 i have for my @290 dont have a big pocket any ideas?

[RonjaMiin]

Does SONY offer a SAM 55-200 mm lens? I am using the "silence lens" right now (18-55 SAM lens)

[SuperEmbee]

Thanks for the useful info! I got today telephoto lens 75 - 300mm looking forward of taking new pictures ))

i know you said the 300mm lens does not equate to distance, but what would the ideal distance be with this lense? could it focus on something quite easily from 45-60 meters away? im not expecting head shots, but i would like to be able to get 3-4 people in one picture from 45 meters +?

hope this makes sense

good thorough review mate, you've convinced me to buy one for my new A55 :)

[tanhockjun]

@TheKkd123 yes.

[KingBucky898]

i own a sony alpha 290 since christmas 2010 so im not very experienced yet but i really like taking pictures of nature and sportscars and such.

im interested in a telezoom lens and ive seen that theres a tamron telezoom lens available. i costs about 130€. whats your opinion on that lens? i cant and i dont really want to affort me a much more expensive lens right now.

Love this lens bought last month, love the way it so easily blurs backgrounds.
