This lens is the best and smartest purchase I've ever made.

forever. No joke. I shot with my Sony A7RIII with a 50mm manual lens just because it was cheap and I only spent 3,000 on the camera itself. Just when I was ready to buy an actual lens and use my setup, I stumbled upon this little kid. I thought the silver would make it weird but it absolutely isn't, it's sexy now and the pictures I take are amazing. Someone told me I was going to buy a whale lentil, I showed the same person the photos I took of it this weekend and they quickly ate the crow. I…

Pros
  • is clear, also set to the old
Cons
  • weak

Their high end lenses are of excellent quality and very expensive

Sony has an interesting way of making lenses. Their lenses on the lower end are really cheap and inexpensive. Their more expensive lenses are excellent quality and very expensive. I really haven't found anything in the mid-range that offers quality at a reasonable consumer price point like Canon and Nikon or even Sigma/Tamron lenses. Unfortunately, this lens belongs to the lower class. In my case, one of the elements was not right-aligned, resulting in the left side of the photo being blurry…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable

I am a professional filmmaker and create knife making tutorials at KnifeMakerTraining.com. I film my father-in-law, a master blacksmith who often works with molten pig iron or welding. Unfortunately, a few sparks hit my original lens and created pockmarks that burned through the glass. So I bought this lens to replace it and I like it just as much as the previous lens. This is a kit lens that comes with some older Sony cameras. But it has OSS (Optical Steady Shot) built in and works great with…

Pros
  • Not useful only for its intended purpose
Cons
  • There are errors

Great lens: Camera lenses

When I got my NEX VG20 I only had the body. My next couple of lenses were plain ones with no stabilization. They give excellent results on a tripod. Then I got a Metabones adapter to attach my 18-270 Tamron to the NEX and I got stabilization but no autofocus during video recording. When I bought this OSS 18-55mm lens, my VG20 felt like a camcorder for the first time. . Now remember that this is a 3.5 lens, it cannot be used for shooting in complete darkness, for example in a nightclub. But…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember
