Comments about Sony Sony 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6 a (alpha) Mount Digital SLR Standard Zoom Lens with Hood:
This came with my Sony A350 as a kit lens. It takes good sharp pictures and with little noticible distortion above 20mm. At 18mm it does have a bit of fisheye effect. The biggest downfall is that the lens rotates when zooming. Making it difficult to use with a polarizing filter (an essential part of outdoor shooting with DSLRs). You must zoom first then adjust polarizer.
