pardon for dragging this post back from the past, but i just wanted to say that i picked up one of these lenses for the A mount and on a quick first look today it seems to be a good and useful buy for me, and at a good price too - so thanks Allan and Brightc for the pointers and sorry Lomskij that you might have had a lesser copy - anyway, thanks all - most helpful advice
