Designed for Sony's line of APS-C format cameras, this lens will provide a normal-length 45mm equivalent focal length which is a good option for general purpose shooting.
True macro design affords a life-size, 1:1 magnification ratio along with a 5.1" minimum focusing distance and 0.8" minimum working distance for capturing close-ups of your subjects.
An aperture range of f/2.8 to f/22 allows for operation in a wide range of shooting situations and enables photographers to better control depth of field.

question

I have Sony Alpha 700 and Alpha 850 cameras. Will this lens work well on them?
Asked by: Leon S.
I am using this lens on a Sony A37. This has the same size sensor as the A700. They both accept alpha mount lenses therefore I can't see why it shouldn't work. I believe it is a very good value for money lens.
