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.

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.

Durable; Easy To Use; Lightweight; Reliable

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...

fast focus; fixed 4.0f; noticeable but very little distortion

price; moving parts

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

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.

All the reviewers rave about this lens and justifiably so. The image quality is excellent.

Great objective, good quality Was this review helpful?

Very quick delivery; PERFECT

Bought this for my A6000 and have been amazed at the clarity it produces and with the added benefits that it also fits my A7 11 win win situation .the first night of using it my photo was taken by the Herald newspaper in Scotland the very next day as the photo of the day and I was very pleased with...

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.

Great for APS-C, and now that the A7RII drops to "only" 18MP in crop mode, it works well on that camera too! Awesome travel lens for a small kit. Sharp, bright, and very well made. Go wide, buy it!
