Sony E 10-18mm F4 OSS Review

The Sony 10-18mm f/4 wide-angle zoom lens is a sharp optic that adds an ultra-wide perspective to your NEX photography system. The Sony E 10-18mm F4 OSS ($899.99) is the company's only ultra-wide zoom lens for its APS-C mirrorless system. It's a compact, lightweight lens with a big angle of view, and pairs well with Sony's mirrorless cameras. Optics are strong, but we wish it was a bit better built given its asking price. That said, there aren't a lot of compelling alternatives, unless you want to fiddle with adapted lenses or manual focus alternatives. Small and Light The E 10-18mm works with Sony's APS-C mirrorless camera system. Sony's cameras are generally smaller all around than SLRs, so it's good that this zoom keeps its size under control. It measures 2.5 by 2.8 inches (HD) and weighs just 7.9 ounces. The lens is finished in black. There's no dust or splash protection included, though. It's a feature that Sony has included in select a6000 series cameras for some time now, but it's only recently started to offer dedicated APS-C lenses to match as part of its G series.

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.

Excellent lens - a MUST have!!

I have this lens for about 2 weeks, so I am still all excited about using it. Have had the opportunity to take landscape pictures in deserts and very narrow spaces. Overall performance - great colors, very fast focus, very little distortion, almost no "fish-eye effect", very light (lighter than same...

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.

I wish I bought it sooner

What a wonderful lens. Amazing focol length. Great stabilitzation. Great color. Beuatiful results. Anyone with a Nex must buy try this lens to know what they are missing. This is a gem. It is worth the money for the results. I was going to wait for a wide angle prime a bit longer.
