Sony 28-75mm f2.8 why or why not?

I would buy that lens only if I needed it. Otherwise I would rather live with less sharp Sigma (might not work with Sony A99) or much better choice, Minolta 28-70mm f2.8 G.

Sony 28-75mm f2.8 isnt bad lens, problem is that its re-badged Tamron. And its really boring lens with really bleak output. Quite sharp - yes, quite contrasty - yes, born without personality - absolutely yes. Wouldnt want it even for free..
