The versatile macro focus lens covers a wide range of photographic applications, from close-up nature subjects to midrange telephoto shots, making it ideal for carrying on location or in the field. The lens's bright f/2.8 maximum aperture works in conjunction with the Sony Alpha's Super SteadyShot image stabilization system to capture bright, steady images even when working with handheld cameras in low light.

Arrived in good order and after using it for several hours in one day I can report no problems and it functioned well. The kit lens that came with the camera was good for the Sony A350, but this lens enhances the camera's utility and effectiveness greatly.
