Full range in a quality lens

After repeated problems with the 18-55mm lens that came with the camera I decided to buy this new 18-200mm lens. This has a big advantage: I can use the full bandwidth without changing lenses. This is a premium lens with better performance than those included in the kit. Of course you have to pay for it, but for me it's worth it. One downside is that it's relatively heavy compared to standard lenses.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Not bad

good but slow - SLR lenses

For the price it's pretty slow in low light, but given the range it's trying to cover it's as good as it gets. definitely makes it a two-handed camera, and the flash is blocked, so some design flaws are inherent in the next line. The Nex just wasn't designed for a lens of this size and it shows, but as we know the smallest improvements in a lens make a big difference in price, leaving you to make your choice as to whether it's worth the price in comparison his little brother. Ultimately, Iโ€ฆ

Really great zoom lens for Sony E-mount cameras

If you need one lens, this would be it. Excellent 18-200mm range and pretty sharp considering it's a zoom lens. It's big and heavy compared to the camera. If you want to stay compact while walking use a 16-50 kit lens but IQ and of course range won't be as good. Cons - Cost around $800 - I got the openbox/demo from stores for about half that. The lens is big and heavy, and if you don't use the lock, the lens will slowly retract (closer) if you point down. If you want to use it with a flash youโ€ฆ

Pros
  • High test results for support and durability
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Great all-round lens

I used to have a Sony NEX-7 and had 18-55mm and 55-210mm zoom lenses. What I didn't like about these lenses was that it was excruciating to carry them around and keep changing them as the shooting conditions changed. When I bought the Sony a6500 I decided to buy the SEL18200 from Adorama through Revain. Since the a6500 has phase detection on the sensor, I had to update all three of these lenses to firmware 0.2. The SEL18200 did not disappoint. I ended up giving away the first two lenses. What I

Better image quality than SEL1855 18-55mm

Considering the price of this lens it goes without saying but the image quality and sharpness with this lens is much better than the 18-55mm kit lens . I use this lens with the NEX-5 and it has become my go-to lens that I use most of the time. Sometimes I use pancakes. You'll love the almost 4x zoom range compared to 18-55 and the shallow depth of field you can achieve with this lens. Very good for portraits. In video mode, however, I found it very difficult to zoom without a tripod. It is notโ€ฆ

Very happy with this purchase.

Ordered ahead of the wedding for which my two daughters were chosen to be flower girls. I felt like a kid with a new toy because I couldn't put it down (paired with the NEX-5N). I went outside a lot to take pictures of fountains, flowers, etc. (hosted by the winery). The bokeh is pretty damn good considering this thing took pictures that made me feel like a professional (and & ahh family too) photographer. The range is great too, and the convenience factor alone (no need to swap lenses forโ€ฆ

Excellent superzoom lens

I've hardly removed this lens from my Nex-5n since I've had it. Contrast, sharpness and color reproduction are excellent. While adding significant weight to the camera, it is easy to handle and still lighter than an equivalent DSLR/lens. Physically, it is a treat for the eyes and hands. The metal outer casing is perfectly finished and the rubber zoom and focus rings are easy to grip. The hand controls are very easy to use. Autofocus and the Optical Steady Shot system work silently.
