very good iq better than canon or nikon equivalents. Ideal walkaround lens, have used it extensively in the lake district and achieved stunning results, particularly good for sunsets, very punchy colours.

Lightweight; Quick Focus; Sharp Focus

My lens arrived as stated by the supplier. I found the lens to do all as claimed by Sony. However I ordered a "NEW" lens. I did not receive a new lens. No manufacturers packaging. Rear lens cap missing and a substitute cannon cap. Which does not fit. Held in place with an elastic band.

i experienced with silver and black Versions - the black ones are by far better - optical (but only with Nex 7) - maybe selected. it's not very small but I like it a lot more then my new 16-50 mm pancake.

solid; good hood; sharp in black version

large

sony alpha 77 ile kullanıyorum ve çok memnunum almak isteyenlere tavsiye ederim.. ayrıca satıcı çok dürüst ve ürünü tam zamanında ve sağlam teslim aldım.

Sony should have never released this lens with the Nex 7. This is a cheapo lens that produces cheapo images and certainly isn't good enough for the sensor in either the Nex 7 or 6. I'm waiting for the new Zeiss 16-70

None

Not sharp; Poor Design

It is unfair for me to compare this to lenses like 24-70/2.8 ZA but I cannot stop doing so. Good kit lens for the price and a better lens than newer 16-50

Inexpensive; build quality

small aperture

Gary Wolstenholme reviews the Sony E 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS standard kit lens for Sony E mount cameras.

Excellent sharpness in the centre of the frame throughout the zoom range; Good build quality; Lightweight; Effective optical stabilisation; Low distortion

Sharpness toward the edges of the frame at 18mm

This lens came as a bundle with the NEX7, the single body wasn't available at this time. I never found it much helpful and as soon as the Sony/Zeiss Sonar 24/1.8 was launched this zoom found a new home in a drawer. The price was low but it doesn't count if you're not satisfied with the quality.

solid build

Picture quality: poor sharpness and resolution; Slow open blend

This is the standard kit lens included with many of the Sony NEX cameras. It offers decent versatility, however, it is fairly slow and offers noticeable fringing and coma. Beware not to shoot anything too sharp with this, or in too low light without a tripod.

Delighted with the quality of this lens. It is never off my NEX7
