Best Everyday Lens for Your Sony Alpha DSLR
By Larry D. Nail
When I bought my Sony Alpha 200 camera, I loved everything about it except the lens that came with it. The 18-70mm takes decent pictures, but it is light and plastic feeling, and the overall zoom length is just not enough. I don't use the wide angle near as much as the telephoto, so it was definitely a bummer of a lens for me. So I went on a hunt to get a good all around everyday lens.... I tried the Minolta 50mm f1.7 and it is great in low light in doors, but not as versatile as a zoom. Most of the normal zoom lenses were 28-85mm, or 28-105mm, etc. Then I found the SONY 24-105mm lens and it looked like just the thing---- till I saw the $549 price tag. I read that the Sony 24-105mm was really a re-release of a "D" series Minolta lens no longer made. All the reviews said that the older Minolta 24-105mm was a solid performer with gorgeous color. That started the hunt for a good copy of the Minolta 24-105mm lens, and I found one that was only 9 months old. THIS IS EVERYDAY LENS YOU WANT FOR A SONY ALPHA. F3.5-4.5 is better than the usual f4-5.6 on most third party normal zoom lenses. THE WIDE ANGLE IS STILL GOOD AT 24MM, BUT THE PORTRAIT LENGTH 105MM (WHICH IS ACTUALLY 152MM IN 35MM PHOTOGRAPHY) IS JUST THE THING TO REACH OUT THAT LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THE STOCK LENS. THE LENS IS COMPACT, AND COMES WITH A PETAL BAYONETTE HOOD. The 62mm filter size is easy to find good filters at a reasonable price. AT $252 THIS WAS THE BEST ADDITION TO MY SONY ALPHA TOOLS. If the 24-105mm Sony ever drops to $250 then I would consider it. This lense has great color, solid feel, no zoom creep. It's Outstanding!

By K. King
This lens give good shapness and versatility on my KM Maxxum 7D. Not as fast as the 28-75/2.8 but the extra 'length' 105 over 75 is very nice to have. Would recommend this lens.
