I purchased this lens for my Minolta SLR and it now works well with my Sony A100 digital SLR. I shoot sports, primarily rowing, and this lens works well from all perspectives.
Getting the settings right is a bit tricky as not much light filters through the lens itself. On bright, clear days, it works fantastically on the sports setting of my camera. Any hint of cloud or dusk and I go to adjusting shutter speed manually to keep the light coming in.
It can be tricky to focus quickly as your subject moves closer then far away again (as happens in rowing races) but I've used this lens for close-ups on faces as well as fixed-distance shots from stands at a large event.
When zooming into the photos on my computer for closer cropping, they can be quite pixellated, but overall the definition is good.
If you're an experienced photographer, then you'll probably find this lens a bit too basic. But for me, a person who loves to take photos for fun and is still learning about my camera, it's great value for money. I would recommend a monopod support (there is a mount on the lens) but I shoot successfully without one, provided the light is good enough.
