According to our camera lens expert
The Sony 55-300 mm f/4.5-5.6 is a super telephoto zoom lens for traveling photographers with an APS-C Sony camera. Thanks to the smooth autofocus motor, the focus is quick and silent, which means you won't scare off your subject. You can create a smooth bokeh effect over the entire zoom range thanks to the seven-blade circular aperture. Special lens elements reduce chromatic aberrations and improve brightness and color neutralization.

Solid lens, easy to handle, not too heavy. Fast working accurate autofocus as well as manual focusing without any problems. Of course you sacrifice brightness, but in relation to a nice large zoom range, it is not that bad. Excellent value for money under Sony label, especially in comparison with Tamron/Sigma

Bought this because I was not satisfied with the much cheaper Tamron lens I had bought earlier. The Sony is much faster, quieter and focuses better. I am satisfied with it. The only downside is that unlike the kit lens I had with my camera, with this lens the front lenses rotate when focusing. This is especially a disadvantage if you use a polarizing filter, otherwise not really.
Attached are a few photos taken with the lens.
