It's OK, but the sharpness needs to be improved.  At high F-stops these are negligible at high F-stops (F16 and up), but at the lower F-stops it's a problem. This wouldn't be so bad if the widest aperture were decent, but at F5.6 -F4 it's rather slow.

The options are a Sony lens and a Tamron one. They're similar in speed and performance, but not cost.

Being economical I chose the less expensive one.

The lens is relatively heavy and a bit of a battery hog, but it is sharp - even wide open.
