Sony SELP18105G PZ 18 105Mm OSS Review

The Sony E mount was introduced in 2022. The first cameras in the line were not full-frame Nex-3 and Nex-5 at all. And now, after almost ten years, it is still impossible to buy high-aperture optics with a variable focal length for a Sony camera with an APS-C sensor. At one time, I was attracted to the system by its clear advantages: low weight and dimensions, manufacturability for a moderate fee and, at the same time, uncompromising quality of photos and videos. Yes, the required lenses were…

Different pros: Ease of use, the suppression of chromatic aberration is beyond praise. With its cons: Well, except for the plastic case, but this is in a sense an advantage, it is relatively light.

Its pros: One of the coolest lenses I've worked with, and there are as many as 15 of them from Canons, Samyangs, Tokin, Carl Zeiss to Zenitars, Sony and Heliuses . Has some cons The biggest drawback is the distortion at the edges. Especially noticeable in close-ups.

I recommend to buy. Pros: Great lens. I took it for video because of the ability to zoom from the stabilizer. And the absence of retractable parts (no need to change the balance on the stabilizer). Now I use it as the main lens and for photography too. I had a chance to shoot once in a tiny studio, where a fifty-kopeck piece was useless (even when I pressed myself against the wall). I put this lens and shot everything I wanted. Autofocus is fast. The sharpness is sufficient. Cons: A bit…

In general, a good lens, and so far the only super zoom with a constant aperture and good sharpness . Ideal for video, but if there was an option with a manual zoom ring, and not a motorized one, I would choose the 2nd one, since I photograph more than making a video. With its pros. I was pleased with the sharpness over the entire field (only the very very edges are soapy, but this is the norm) at all focal lengths with an open aperture! (Feelings after a whale plug 16-50 PZ and telephoto…

He was taken for the video, where he fulfills himself at 100. Works in conjunction with 6300. If not for his flaws, he would be perfect. Even though he's excellent. Its pros: Motorized zoom, but advantages and its own small minus. Aperture for zoom 4 with such a focal length Soft pleasant picture and it really pleases the eye. Excellent stub Has cons: Bulky Each time when off / on it returns to its original position 18mm For reporting, af is slow, it just wildly spoils all the advantages of…

In general, for a task when there is little time and the situation changes quickly - an excellent tool. But do not count on the lens as a regular one. Its pros: Large focal range and constant aperture, smooth zoom - all this is very convenient for shooting video. Great for reporting when there is simply no time to change lenses. Pleasant to the touch, comes with a hood. Has some cons For artistic shooting is not suitable for any sauce. Count on this lens only in reporting conditions, given that

I'll try to shoot on the street, but if the pictures are worse than with the zoom on Canon, then for me it will be a reason for sadness, because it costs very decently. Has some pros For video, that's it. I took it specifically for video shooting - and it's really cool: the picture is clear, juicy (I shot it indoors in medium light in conjunction with the a6000). Its cons: For portrait shooting, I didn’t really like it, it seems to me that it’s not quite universal here. For example, on the same

Lens distortion is corrected by the camera, after enabling the corresponding option in the menu. I doubted for a long time whether to take or not to take, fears after the purchase did not materialize, the glass is quite working, especially in the video. When parking, being placed on the table rattles, it's annoying. Everything is quiet in the hands. Has some pros Listed in the characteristics, the picture is good, convenient in every sense. Autofocus is normal. Has some cons It parks when the…

I shot it handheld using a digital zoom, in my case it is about 300 mm, taking into account the crop. What perfectly characterizes the work of the stabilizer - it is simply magnificent! Pros: Hi all! From my experience, I can say the following: - this is a lens for your money. - I confirm in every possible way that professionals (here I mean those who receive money for shooting) or photographers who are very demanding on the quality of the picture, this lens will satisfy only for shooting video

no lens movement is felt. since everything is on the motor, you constantly do not get into focus. If you want to move a little closer - he is silent. twist harder - how it jumps from 5 m to 1.2 m. autofocus is kind of crazy. you press the button, and he 2! thinks for a second. I stand in one place. to the object somewhere 3.5m, I press auto focus, then 1.5m, then 6.7m. How is that? used on a sony fs 5 camera. there is a focus mag button / such an electronic enlargement so that the zoom does not

I have it on a sony a6000. Impressions are positive, Yes, lathers around the edges. I would never have noticed if I had not read and enlarged the picture on a monitor with a resolution of 2560x1600 on the forum. As for everyday use and a staff member, it's very good. Not an avid photographer, I shoot an average of 50-60 frames a week. Nature, landscape, portrait, everything can.

A convenient lens for a second camera is the a6400 paired with the A7III. Compact and lightweight zoom for close-ups, great for reportage video, ideal for weddings, except for aperture. At a banquet, either put a lantern or change the lens. Easy setup of the camera, lens and stabilizer can be taken smaller. A pleasant thing to use, for certain purposes an excellent option.

I use it for video and in general I am very pleased with the glass. Sharp enough, very good stabilizer. Of the shortcomings . after the camera falls asleep or turns it off and on, the lens returns the set focal length to 18mm, this is annoying. When shooting an interview or something like that where the camera is static, you have to remember the set focal length and set the frame again each time. It is very problematic to shoot objects large, in order to focus you have to keep the camera at a…

I took for 25 thousand to Sjny Nex-6. Well, it would seem that everything should be cool, Sony after all . It turned out that this is another marketing ploy of the company, the quality of the pictures produced leaves much to be desired. Maybe the Chinese assembly is to blame, or maybe I was just unlucky, because I bought it through an online store, without checking it, by courier delivery. The constant front, then the back focus, more than half of the footage is soap, and even what is in focus…

I saw a few critical comments about this lens. I believe if you are a professional photographer a critical review can be helpful. I've taken over 5,000 shots with this lens on several trips around the US and Europe. I find the Sony A6000 lens to be an excellent all-round lens. It is well balanced and covers the range required for travel in a single lens. I don't experience the excessive distortion that some have reported. Two great qualities of the lens are f4 throughout the zoom range and the…

I bought this lens and a Zeiss 16-70mm to see which to use in place of the standard lens for the a6000 and I wasn't thrilled with this lens for stills but was amazed by his video capabilities. I ended up keeping both lenses, but which one I use depends on whether I'm shooting video or stills. First, the barrel distortion is out of control and needs to be fixed in post. When shooting in RAW, it's just impossible to get around this. . When shooting in JPEG format, the a6000 appears to correct…
