Comments about Sony Sony 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 a (alpha) Mount Digital SLR Standard Zoom Lens with Hood.:

his came as my Kit lens with my A700. Its a re-badge Minolta Japan lens of plastic mount but still its well built comparing to the other DT lenses of sony. Though this lens is sharp and very good colour, its not my preferred everyday lens as its not fast and ideal for indoors and low light. i am very found of prime lenses. I use this lens for all my Travel & Holidays.

For those of you who got this lens use it and forget the SAL 18-250 or Tamron or Sigma zooms. For the ones who do not have this lens and want an everyday all in one zoom i suggest buy the 18-250mm, its a newer model, more focal availability, metal mount an a few dollars more.

Comments about Sony Sony 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 a (alpha) Mount Digital SLR Standard Zoom Lens with Hood.:

I find this lens does most of what I need to do.

When dirt got inside lens body, behind the main element.

Sony wanted $166 to fix it.
Got it done local for $70
