Recommendation
Whenever the Sony system is mentioned there are a lot of folks that take it to task for its sparse lens line up, particularly the lack of a Tilt / Shift lens. True enough. But there are some optical gems, such as the superb Zeiss Vario Sonnar 24-70mm f/2.8, the Sonnar 135mm f/1.8, and now the 500mm f/8 Reflex as well.
No, it's not the sharpest 500mm in the world, but it is amazingly versatile, inexpensive, and when one learns its foibles and master its idiosyncrasies it's an amazingly productive optic for the money. If you own a Sony Alpha system camera, and need a long lens, you owe it to yourself to check out the 500mm f/8 Reflex. A unique product in today's market and potentially a compelling reason for some photographers to consider the Sony system.
