If you need a COMPARATIVELY high-quality and at the same time compact zoom, then there is no alternative on the Sony crop (18-105 is large, the whale is darker and lathers not only at the edges, 18-200 is very large and the picture is worse) In general, the lens is far from ideal, because. it is optimized primarily for shooting people - sharpness, color are all on top, but landscape and architecture shooting at a wide angle (up to 30mm) and at a distance further than 50 meters is not his strong point - there will be soap ON THE EDGES and there will be more soap than on a whale on the same focal lengths. So the glass is ambiguous, due to the very good sharpness in the center, a wide angle was sacrificed for landscapes. A controversial engineering solution, of course there are no miracles, but such a soap is too much . keep this in mind before buying, so as not to be disappointed later . Many wear it to the service to edit the sharpness around the edges (if it lathers unevenly around the edges, then they take it to the service) - think 10 times, the sharpness at the edges will be evened out and even raised a little, but the center will cease to be so sharp, of course it has a lot of sharpness and that's it it will still be sharper than a whale, but nonetheless.
