Fantastic kit lens

By BillWill

This is a wonderful kit lens capable of producing excellent images of professional quality. Now I'm not comparing this lens to the Carl Zeiss $1,000 lens (I can't compare since I don't own one and don't plan on buying such an expensive one since I'm happy with the kit lens), but considering the cost of this lens ($100 with the kit or $300 retail) you can't do much better. Machining, fit, and feel are excellent as well.

excellent lens

By CHall86

I'm a photographer. I recently bought my first pro camera and this lens was recommended with it... long story short...I love it.

Compact 3x zoom with image stabilization
Featuring in-lens Optical SteadyShot image stabilization for clearer handheld images, the E 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 OSS zoom is a perfect travel partner. The E 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 OSS zoom lens offers a powerful 11x magnification range plus Optical SteadyShot image stabilization with Active mode that is used in the most advanced Handycam camcorders. The SEL1855 offers comfortable framing and capture of landscapes, snapshots, portraits, and more. Built-in image stabilization enables handheld shooting in low light.

• Compact, lightweight 3x zoom for all-purpose shooting
• High-quality aluminum alloy finish
• Built-in OSS (Optical SteadyShot) image stabilization
• Circular aperture for attractive defocusing
• 35mm equivalent focal length: 27-82.5mm

Sony 18-55mm Features

  • APS-C E-mount: Coupled with alpha E-mount cameras from Sony, APS-C E-mount lenses deliver big camera performance.
  • Capture smooth, blur-free images: Built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization within the lens provides smooth, blur-free photos and videos when shooting handheld.
  • Smooth defocusing: Instead of a standard polygon-shaped lens aperture, this lens features a 7-bladecircular aperture for more natural, rounded defocusing, or bokeh.
  • Refined optical performance: To optimize performance, aspherical lens elements maintain high contrast (even with the aperture wide open) and minimize distortion and flatness of the image plane.
  • Fast, agile focusing: The internal focusing mechanism means the lens barrel doesn't move, enabling a more compact design, faster autofocus response, and reduced minimum focusing distances.
