Sony SAL75300 75-300mm f4.5-5.6 lens review by cameralabs.com

Ultimately the 75-300mm is a budget lens but performs well for the price. If you bought an A100 with a single lens, it’s well worth considering, although you should also check out the Sigma 18-200mm and Tamron 18-200mm alternatives, along with Sony’s own version. They may not zoom as close, but they do have the convenience of a single lens solution.

If you’ve decided the A100’s right for you but not bought it yet though, the twin lens kit sporting the DT 18-70mm and 75-300mm lenses is a great option. It’ll give you a highly flexible focal range at a low price that’ll suit many photographers for a long time.
