Sony 10-18mm f/4 Wide-Angle Zoom Lens

One of the big reasons to get an interchangeable lens camera is for wide-angle photography. Some point and shoots go as wide as 23mm, but none match the 15-27mm (35mm equivalent) field of view that the Sony 10-18mm f/4 Wide-Angle Zoom Lens ($849.99 direct) delivers.
Pros:
  • Quite sharp at wider angles
  • Fixed f/4 aperture.
Cons:
  • Exhibits rectilinear distortion
  • Some softness at 18mm.

Sony E 10-18mm f/4 OSS (SEL-1018) - Lab Test / Review

While you usually don't really need a fast AF on such a lens, it is perfectly fine regarding speed as well as noise level. A still unusual feature on an ultra-wide lens is an optical image stabilizer.

High Quality with a Surprise

First of all this is a high quality lens that I would definitely recommend to landscape and architectural photographers (assuming you have one of the alpha NEX series e-mount Sony cameras with APS-C size sensor).The first surprise involves distortion.
Pros:
  • Durable
  • Easy To Use
  • Lightweight
  • Reliable
