Bought this Sigma and the Sony at the same time. Was hoping the Sigma would do the job on my Sony A77, A55 and A350. What a hideous lens.And I own 10 lenses, mostly Sony but one Tamron. This lens brought me to tears. No clear cut way to attach (no orange dot, a Sony standard) Manual focus ring takes a gorilla to turn. And the auto-focus isn't. Could not get it to auto-focus after the first few pictures; off/on, every combination. It should not require any mods or different way to take pictures. May work with other cameras, but not Sony. Save your money, time and emotions and just get the Sony 16-50 2.8. Attached the Sony and started taking amazing pictures. I have several 2.8 Sony lens and this may become my favorite. If you want to save money, get this lens and accept out of focus pictures. IMHO DO NOT BUY THIS LENS FOR ANY SONY ALPHA DSLR. I returned it after 1 hr of attempted use. Had to give it one star, but would have given a -5 stars. BTW the difference between 16 and 17mm is significant.
