Awesome Deal! [Posted on 2008-09-15] If you did not know Cosina made lenses for allot of companies, mainly one that sticks out is Carl Zeiss, Minolta etc...they also made 35mm Camera's at one time, famous one's like we use to have in my 20's, Yashica FX-3 is one of them, awesome Camera back then. I bought this lens and the quality is great! And like another said I love the push pull zoom operation! What a deal! And you get 28mm?? I do not even have to switch back to my wide angle or standard most of the time.
Bargain for the price. [Posted on 2008-09-29] I got this as a walk around lens, and it's probably a little more than I expected. The optical quality is good, it's even OK at max zoom. Two things I don't like are: 1-the lens zoom slides when the camera is pointed up or down. 2-it doesn't work well in low light.
I'll watch for a good deal on a higher quality lens, but I am happy with what I got for the price, I'd buy it again.
It was in sealed box but lens had a big scratch on it. I guess you get what you paid for! [Posted on 2008-10-24] It was in sealed box but lens had a big scratch on it. I guess you get what you paid for!
It works but.... [Posted on 2008-11-14] I got this lens about year ago and use it on my A100.
It is a cheap lens and the image is also cheap. In the wide end you need to stopped down to ~f6.3 or your image will be soft in the corner. In the tele end, even you stopped down to f11, the image still looks very soft even in the center, not mention it will defocus near the corner, too. The other problem of this lens is its weight. It is a huge and heavy lens. So if you want to bring it as the second lens, it will take a lot of space in your bag...
Overall, If you only have $100 budget for the lens, and want to have a wide to tele lens. It is the one you can have. If you care and want to have a sharp picture. Save your money and fine something else.
Cosina AF 28-300mm f/4-6.3 MC Wide-Telephoto Lens [Posted on 2008-11-15] I recently purchased this lens for my Sony DSLR A300 camera, just because of the great price, was not sure it would be equal to others that cost 100-200% more? I used this lens to take over 2000 pictures on a 12 day cruise, and it worked without any problems. The lens enabled me to get crystal clear closeups that at times looked like they were taken by a professional photographer!
Many of the passengers were asking me where I got this lens, and that it looked awefully expensive. When I told them the price, where it was made, and that it was on Amazon they could not believe such a bargain was available. If this lens is available on Amazon be sure to buy it... especially if you have one of the Sony DSLR cameras.
Thanks!
