steep price for Lens "no frills"

First time right away:
A star deduction there for the relatively high price for a lens with no extra's like aperture / (ultrasound) focus motor or image stabilization !!
(The SteadyShot my Sony A350 K SLR digital camera (14 megapixels, LifeView, Image Stabilizer) Kit incl. 18-70mm lens just cope with the 250mm more)

Otherwise, however, convinced the lens very very positive:
+ Very fast AF (for soup zoom)
+ Detailed picture (even at 18 full 250mm)
=> Übertifft all my other "normal" zoom lenses
+ Distortion adheres even in limits
+ Top Closest focusing distance (is also well suited for macro)
+ High-quality workmanship
+ Compact design
+ Interior Focus
+ Zoomarretierung
Included + blossoms against visor
