Very happy with DSLR lenses

Very happy. Good quality, packaging and product. Fast delivery. My main lens broke so it was a good intermediate lens.

Pros
  • Solid build
Cons
  • Compatibility

Great all-round lens

Get a product overview between this product and the Tamron 75 - 300mm lens. Sony's 18-250mm lens is vastly superior in terms of quality, clarity and ease of use. The only downside is that if you don't like the lens in the 18mm position, the lens will slip. Otherwise, it's a great all-around lens.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Almost everything ok

Good basic zoom lens!

This kit lens impressed me when I first bought my SONY A57. Lightweight, with a decent zoom, medium aperture range, but with the ability to transmit sufficient light to the sensor. With lens upgrades and additional camera bodies, it became apparent that another 18-55mm lens was needed for the stable. Good to know SONY still offers it.

Pros
  • Only positives
Cons
  • Functionality
