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

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

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Easy to Use; Good in Low Light; Great Resolution; Great Zoom

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.

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

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

This 3x zoom lens is the one normally bundled as part of a kit with Sony NEX cameras. As a result, it's normally pretty cheap to pick up separately, costing only ￡140. For that you get a compact lens with optical stabilisation. In this review, we'll take a look at how it performs.

This is an A-mount DT lens (DSLR APS-C format), quite different from the somewhat inferior E-mount variety with built-in IS. IS-lenses will probably, regardless of manufacturer, tend to have a negative effect on image quality!

Quite decent performance; very inexpensive as a kit lens

non really at this price point

I use this lenses with my NEX 5N camera and have been somewhat disappointed with it's performance. Most of the photos with this lens lack clarity and sharpness throughout the photo. I do a lot of landscape and cityscape so many of my photos are at infinity focal length.

Small & light weight

poor sharpness & barrel distortion
