As a possible alternate for the 45-150, the 45-175 PZ is really a very decent lens and it can be had for not a lot of cash.

Sounds pretty good but I'm not a fan of electric zoom lenses at all. Coming from Sony electric zooms I find that they're just laggy and hard to work with.

You don't have to use the power zoom, it has a manual zoom ring as well.

Really? But is that just an electric zoom ring or a mechanical zoom ring?

It still controls the electronic zoom, but I can tell you that there is no lag what-so-ever. I too was concerned about this prior to owning the lens, but after owning it it really isn't an issue at all compared to manual zoom lenses. The zoom changes as fast as you can turn the zoom ring.

It is VERY different than the electronic zooms you find on compact or bridge cameras.
