As sharp as sharp can be. Sure the max aperture is slower, but what you get in return is a very compact zoom. I walked with my a6400 and that lens attached to my backpack shoulder strap with a clip for half a day on a mountain and the weight or length was not overwhelming. A must if you own a Sony apsc body and want to do some wildlife or landscape photography. The image stabilisation works great, but I haven't tested it extensively; at 350mm, I got sharp results at 1/160 sec. AF is excellent, really no complaints about this lens, except it is hard to leave it out of my camera bag. You never know when Big Foot might show up, better be ready for him.
Awesome quality, small for the zoom range provided
