 Sony 10-18mm f/4 Wide-Angle Zoom Lens   The SEL-1018 super wide-angle zoom lens is perfect for taking photos of sweeping landscapes and producing striking images with emphasized perspective. If you're seeking a wider minimum focal length than offered by standard wide-angle zoom lenses, the SEL-1018 is the ideal choice for you. Featuring a minimum focal length of only 10mm (15mm in 35mm camera equivalency), the SEL-1018 wide-angle zoom lens delivers highly-detailed, super wide-angle photos. With a constant maximum aperture of f/4 through the entire focal length range, you'll be able to use the widest aperture at every focal length. Even in low light, you can take advantage of the bright aperture to utilize fast shutter speeds without needing to increase ISO sensitivity.   10-18 mm super wide-angle zoom lens   The SEL-1018 offers a constant maximum aperture of F4 through the entire focal length range, enabling use of the widest aperture at every focal length. Even in low-light environments, such as outdoors at sunset, users will be able to take advantage of the bright aperture and use fast shutter speeds without unnecessarily raising ISO sensitivity.   Superb image capturing capability   Three Aspherical lens elements correct for spherical aberration and distortion, making it possible to shoot high-contrast, high-quality images with markedly less bleeding even at the maximum aperture. In addition, the optical system employs Super Extra-low Dispersion glass, realizing highly detailed images with reduced color aberration even at the 10 mm focal length.   Minimum focal length of 10mm (15mm in 35mm eq.)   Thanks to a minimum focal length of only 10 mm (15 mm in 35 mm-camera equivalency), the SEL-1018 delivers finely detailed, super wide-angle photos, ideal for shooting majestic landscapes that can only be captured with super wide-angle lenses, as well as for producing striking photos with emphasized perspective.   Built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization   The built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization system provides a 4-stop (approx.) shutter speed advantage, making it significantly easier to achieve crisp, blur-free images and video.   Internal Focusing System   Lens elements at the rear of the optical system move, allowing rapid auto-focus response.   Circular Aperture   In low-light shots or nightscapes, out-of-focus light sources have a pleasing circular defocused effect.

It is a OK lens. I had 2 of these and either lens was very sharp. I got the Tamron 11-20 now, and it is much better.

They need to come out with a improved version.

Super wide angle zoom. Perfect for travel, Lightweight and sharp. Great for capturing the whole scene or including it all in a tight spot.

Great for travel.

Great lens, typical Sony quality ..... 5/5 stars
I love Sony

Fantastic little lens

Amazing ultra wide angle lens. Have been using it for more than 6 months and it has been outstanding. There is usually a problem with the edges of the photos especially when I use 10mm, but that could be because of my APS-C camera.

Great lens!

I bought this just before Christmas even though I didn't think I'd get any use for it until summer, but I was wrong: it comes to the beach in winter, it comes out for sunset and blue hour, so good!

Great wee wide angle

Finding that I was more often than not using my 16-70mm lens at the wide end. Decided to buy this 10 - 18mm. I am not disappointed 
Image quality is excellent being sharp with no chromatic abrasion.
Focus auto/man and stabilization on/off switches would have been nice but I've dedicated spare buttons for convenience. 

I am not disappointed.

Excellent wide angle

TOOK THIS LENS TO GERMANY IN 2016 AND CAPTURED WONDERFUL IMAGES!!! SO HAPPY I BOUGHT THIS ! WAS SO HAPPY I DID

SUPER LENS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED AND AFFORDABLE

Love the lens, I've gone 100 percent Sony native for my A6000. I needed a wide angle with OSS and this was it! It's become a welcome addition to my bag!

Sony wide angle lens

A great little lens for my Sony a6500s; sharp, fast focusing, light and easy to handle.

Sony 10-18mm F/4 OSS E-Mount Lens

I've been using a friend's SEL1018 for a while and had to purchase one for myself as this lens is super flexible when trying to shoot wider subjects. 10mm is great for landscapes and tight spaces and architecture but I also end up using 18mm quite a lot for street photography. This lens is actually the one I use the most when travelling.

Really nice lens and good quality

I bought this product at Christmas and I have been very impressed with the product

Excellent product

Nice and wide and lightweight and th autofocus works well with Sony cameras of course. There’s a very small improvement in quality over much cheaper lenses however including the a6300 kit lens and the Sony 28mm 2.8 pankcake both many hundreds of pounds cheaper. Disappointed.

Unremarkable

I am on my second lens. Adorama was vey good about replacing the first because it just didn’t seem to have a sharp focus, especially at f stops above about f10. The second one seems a little better but it still is not as sharp as the other Sony lenses I have. I needed a wide angel lens so I have just accepted this is about as good as Sony can do on a lens of this type.

For the Cost it Should Be Better

This is the first lens I bought for my Sony a6400. I took it to Costa Rica with my girlfriend and captured some beautiful landscape and portrait images on the beach.With such a wide aperture, it’s best in situations where you have lots of light like a beach. Photos in low-light with this lens need to be steady otherwise you’ll get noticeable blur or have to make the shutter speed so low that the picture is underexposed. There is also a fair bit of distortion when in the 10mm setting, which is easily removeable in Lightroom. Great lens and lived up to the hype you find online

Great landscapes in good lighting

The autofocus is good and imahe quality is okay but $900 for this lens is insane. It's not weather sealed and rather slow for a small focal range (f/4... Should be f/2.8). A $500 price tag would've been an easier pill to swallow and believe me, I'm a Sony advocate. I do however like the size and weight of this lens. It's perfect for my a6500 and suits as a decent vlog lens.

Too Expensive but it's all we've got

Very versatile e wide angle lens.  Very sharp and super fast auto focus.

Sharp Wide Angle Lens

Took the lens and my a6000 to Gettysburg last week. Numerous shots from the Battlefield and the Eisenhower Farm turned out great! An afternoon at the AACA Museum in Hershey photographing antique cars left me amazed at the lens' versatility. Great detail! Leaving for the Canadian Rockies next week and can't wait to put it through it's paces there .I can see this becoming my go to lens. Very impressed!

Impressed

Sharp and quick to focus a perfect match for Sony A6500 camera.the size of the lens is ideal for sony 6000 series cameras.

great wide angle lens for Sony A6500

A great lens for landscapes and small spaces with sharp image quality. Also great lens for vlogging with super fast auto focus.

Sony 10-18

Beautiful len

I order for an up coming car show and vacation to the beach. Got here just in time and it hasn't been off my Sony A6000 since. Took over 600 pics and it is sharp and quick. Its bigger than the kit lens and my 12mm but very comfortable. It's sharper than i expected! Having lots of fun with it!

its a keeper

I've only had it a week or so but i really love it. quality build, solid lens. a nice addition to my 6300.

Great Lens!!

It is good for very wide angle

I bought about a month ago and it suits me very well.

Good wide angle lens

have had a chance to use this lens about a half dozen excursions so far. i am with shooting with sony a6000. (it does make the camera appear a lot more serious)
i do not run files through software, so my comments will be few. at wide open there is some noticeable bending, but from 12-18mm things look great. it is plenty fast. i shoot wide angle most of the time and this range is about perfect. my only other experience with a fancy-pants lens is the zeiss 12mm. that was great certainly, but for the savings and the little bit of flexibility, i would recommend this lens over the zeiss. AND, the bundle!! i am enjoying this very much.

very pleased

Used this for trips to London sites and taken some stunning shots. Lens is sharp enough to produce good crops.

Great lens for my A600

A great lens

It took me a while to start using this lens, thinking the 18mm wide end of my walking-around 18-200mm lens was adequate.  On a recent trip to the North Cascade mountains and a vintage airshow I started using the 10-18mm wide angle lens, and using it a lot.  It is small and lightweight.  Mounted to my venerable NEX-6 it is a breeze to carry all day.  Other than the expected angular distortion at the widest focal length and the occasional slow focusing (likely more related to the NEX-6 than the lens) it performs quite well.  This is THE Sony lens recommended by Trey Ratcliff for Sony APS-C mirrorless cameras, and I now appreciate why that is.

I'm finding more uses for this lens all the time

The three pictures that I took with it looked great, but it had a very loud aperture motor when it arrived and after those three photos, it stopped focusing and the camera stopped recognising it. Sent for a warranty repair - it wasn't repairable, so a new one is being posted to me. It took over 2 weeks for it to be posted though, so I'm very unimpressed.
