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.

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.

Strong optics; Optical stabilization; Light and compact; Supports front filters; Ultra-wide angle of view

Some distortion; Omits dust and splash protection

This is one of my favorite lenses for my A6500. There arent many options for a wide angle zoom for APS-C e-mount and considering the price compared to a full frame lens at twice the price this produces some terrific quality photos. Its not without its caveats though.

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.

This E-mount lens is designed to work with Sony’s APS-C cameras, where it sports a 35mm equivalent of 15-27mm, making it ideal for capturing sprawling vistas. The wide f/4 aperture and image stabilisation also offer an advantage for those shooting in low-light.

I hike a lot and I shoot landscapes. A super wide lens is a necessity for me and this matches up perfectly in size/weight with my Sony A6000 kit. My only complaint is that it doesn't come with any type of case or soft bag.

small size; lightweight

no case

A really great lens, just about worth the cost. I've been using it for landscapes and it's been good. It's a little soft in parts but I'm still trying to figure out at what focal length and aperture this occurs at.

what I got is looks like used return product but sale in full price. I have to clean it by myself, but still looks like a used one. I need to use this model, so I no time to return. Too Bad.

Great UWA choice to throw into a travel kit. Excellent image quality and smooth controls!

Very compact lens to fit in with a travel kit Very sharp out 3/4 of way to edges Great OSS function combines with the A6500 in body

Expensive lens

The Sony 10-18mm is a metal bodied, solid feeling tank of a lens that I’ve used all around the world to capture some of the most important moments in my life. If you have a Sony mirrorless camera and are looking for a wide angle lens, this is the best option on the market.

"Why would you buy another ""Sony Zoom"" lens if you already have the 16-50mm kit lens Because this one is not just any, zoom lens. It is the best wide angle zoom lens, Sony ever made for the NEX / Alpha APS-C cameras.
