Bro, the 70-200 Tammy wouldn't be a good idea. I tried it out, the AF mechanism hunted so badly it was practically useless. Ended up settling with a Sigma 50-150 f2.8 HSM instead, a much better piece glass IMHO. And lighter weight too.

Bro, I tested the Tammy on my D90 so its probably the micromotor as you said.

Nonetheless, I'm in love with the Siggy 50-150mm. I don't get why a lot of sites online seem to be condemning it, the lens works fine. Most importantly, it weighs only 700g vs 1.3kg for a typical 70-200. Its weight excellent for lengthy event shoots, especially when u've plugged in a flash and a battery grip to your dslr body. I've got some photos of it at home, will post them later when i get back.

My only complaint is that it ought to have a tripod collar, but thats just an aside.

I got mine for about 2800 w/ UV filter, so I would assume that a Sony mount shouldn't differ by much.
