    A great all-round lens

    Purchased as a replacement for my Tamron 16-300 PZD, which was more versatile but in the end proved unreliable and needed expensive repairs, I was drawn towards this lens as, even though it is probably a Tamron in disguise, was lightweight and very sharp at F8 and F11. Loss of the 250-300mm end was not too much of an issue, but losing the 16-18mm extra wide angle is more of a disadvantage. Nevertheless it is a Sony product and looks good and performs more than acceptably. As a new lens it is not particularly good value but purchased second hand, as I did, makes sense if it has been well looked after, as mine obviously has been. I probably had a rogue Tamron lens, and nothing against the brand as I also have the 90mm macro which is an outstanding lens in current or previous model guise.

    Travel Lens

    With a huge range optically this is a great travel lens for APS-C format Sony SLR's. Build quality is ok. Size and weight is small and light. The lens retails for £600 new. It's not worth half that. I paid £135 second hand in mint condition. For me it's a hard compromise as I use high end Zeiss, Sony and Sigma lenses costing many thousands of pounds while holidaying in the U.K. Also consider the Sigma 18-300. You can buy this at reasonable but prices second-hand and the focusing speed and quietness are noticeably better. I took this lens on my Sony a77mk2 to Portugal recently and have been reasonably pleased with the results. Will I take it on my next foreign holiday? Probably, I'll also take a couple of prime lenses. Maybe my 24 and 50 f1.4 for lower light and for sharper images when required

  • Early days but good so far

    I have used this lens a week now and used it on quite a few occasions, so far I am really pleased with the image quality throughout the zoom range, it has become my main lens at the moment due to the great focal range. The other advantage of the lens is you are less likely to have to continuously change your lens reducing the risk of the sensor getting dust on it

  • Compact and versatile superzoom.

    Wonderfully light and compact. I'm using it on a Sony A99ii full frame camera with auto APC crop factor which gives 27-375mm zoom. A really useful travel and wildlife lens.

  • Great all round work horse.

    Like ALL huge range zooms there is always compromise but what little is lost in "perfection" is more than made up with the knowledge that you my not end up wishing that you had either more reach or more of a wide shot, when the pictures appears in front of you out of the blue. I have not been disappointed with the lens.

  • Not the best but the best from the cheapest

    Compared head to head with the sony Dt 55-200 f/4-5.6 it's actually much much sharper and not as dark as i imagined , anyway it's not the best but realy good! :)keeping in mind 18 --------> 250 . No more lens changing , only when discretion is needed as i use it on nex 5t :)

  • Great all round lens

    This is great all round lens. It is superb for travelling and also being at events such as weddings where by you might not want to carry huge cameras and look like you are competing with the paid photographer but still be able to take good photos. It ISNT a professional quality - i dont think it sells itself as that but i have had some excellent photos from it. It also saves having to change lenses all the time and get dust int he mechanism. Being able to zoom right in to frame a picture for my type of photography (keen idiot) produces some great photos without the need for post processing. It is compact, focuses quickly and isnt too heavy. I wouldnt rave about this lens in low light. I have subsequently bought a miekle flash to go with it to make up for its poor light performance.
