I'll start by saying, this lens is heavy! It took a few minutes for me to get used to the additional weight in my hands.
The placement of the shutter release is a bit more forward than my Minolta.
The on/off switch is located just over the adjustment wheel and I accidentally turned off the camera when trying to adjust the aperture.
The focusing is really quiet! Love it.
The image/menu selection button is a bit too close to the digital display and when I went to page left, my finger kept hitting the edge of the display.
When using Live View, it takes longer to find focus.
The beep was annoying, so I turned that off.
Aperture Test:
Noise Test: (f/5.6, 200mm, ISO 1600 - straight out of camera)
While some complain about the layout of the menus, I found them easy to navigate and understand.
Vibration Reduction test:
So... I'm off to play some more.
