I am so happy that I did purchase this lens as my first purchase from the Sony camera section.

This is a good value lens from Sony. It competes well with the competition on features, image quality and even on price - yes a Sony lens at a good price and it is a G lens. The zoom and focus rings are a little light on turning - a bit more resistance would be nice but that is the only down side.

I bought this product about 4 weeks ago, the product build is very good. I am disappointed with the picture quality the results are slightly blurred. Assistance with AI gets the desired results. I shoot in the RAW format and after using AI it saves as a JPEG, which defeats the object of using the RAW format in the first place. I acknowledge the Lens is not expensive but at this price I would expect reasonable picture quality.

I bought this lens a few weeks back now! It has yet to prove me wrong in buying it! Brings amazing quality images and works perfectly for my automotive photography.

I bought this a mont ago, but can't get used to the indirect delayed zoom. Also when i have digital zoom active as an quick option, the zoom on this lens just proceeds digital after 105 m. Further more for crispy photo's you always need to stop 1 down, else images are liveless and look unsharp with little contrast. So bought second hand 16-70 f4, and the 28-105 F4 is for sale.

Theres a lot packed into this lens! First, the zoom range is amazing and covers pretty much everything I would want in one lens for handheld use. The OSS helps keeps things steady and the power zoom is great for video work, especially when paired with a camera with a zoom switch like the FX30. It's small and light for such a varied focal length but the metal build stops it from feeling cheap. The zoom is internal which I definitely prefer over extending barrels with the zoom and focus rings being nicely dampened and smooth to use. Constant F4 aperture is a god send as I don't really like variable aperture zooms, fair enough if it's f2 to 2.8 like the tamron 35mm-150mm but not something naff like F4 to 7.1 (I'm looking at you canon!) Lastly, image quality and I have to say I'm pretty impressed here too! I wasn't expected too much but I'v managed to get some truly beautiful shots with this and the F30, enough to make both clients and myself happy. I use this for video work so keep that in mind if you are planning for photography but at this pice you really cant go wrong if you are looking for a nice 'all in one lens'

Disappointed with the lack of sharpness. All my other Sony lenses are noticeably sharper.

This lens seems extremely well made but it is too early to give a full review on sharpness etc If given the chance I will review late when I have used more

Fantastic lens that covers the range of most of my ENG shooting. Zoom is smooth, it's f4 through the full zoom and it's small and light. I love this lens.

Fabulous images from this very versatile lens. Combined with A6000 camera this makes for amazing quality photos. Very flexible range on zoom, this lens never leaves the camera.

Much better focal length range than standard length and amazed with the apature being constant F4 through out focal length. Picture very clear and sharp. Only small drawback is the shadow of the lens if the in built camera flash is used.

Just changed from Micro Four Thirds to Sony and bought this lens with the A6000 and the image quality from both is outstanding.

Initial reaction was favourable. Excellent speed and accuracy of focus and crisp image, but, and it's a massive one, there was intermittent issue causing selective vignetting to top left corner of frame only. All apertures, at any short focal length. Like something was sticking. Returned it. Not going to risk another. Disappointing qc. Will probably stick with kit lens on my a6000, and carry on lugging a DSLR for anything beyond that.

We've owned it less than a year, and it is a very nice versatile lens, build quality as with anything could be a little better as ours developed a fault after 8 months of usage - which appears to be a common issue where the lens does not focus when the camera is pointed downwards and then turned on.

If you are a 'run & gun' shooter and you need good wide-angle/zoom lens for video don't think twice. Buy this one. excellent on gimbal.

It is a nice lens all in all, but f4 is a bit too small for indoor, and the moto zoom is not easy to operate - sliding it causes movement. Why not buttons? Or why not use a camera menu to zoom? Also, using a remote control is not that convenient either. Eventually, I sold mine and replaced it with 18-135mm, which I am happy with it. Sony recently added a f2.8 zoom, but the price! Come on.

Good general purpose lens
By Whaty
I bought this lens to go with my Sony A5100. I have a number of primes but wanted something a little more versatile and covering a wider range, for those times when you don't want to carry several lenses around with you, the 18-105 fitted my requirements perfectly. In my opinion the IQ is generally better all round than the 16-50 kit lens, and of course it has a much wider range. It is a large lens, especially when mounted on the A5100, but somehow it works and it doesn't feel to front heavy,...

Just what my A6000 needed!

The Sony SELp 18-105mm is a solidly-built lens, but not a particularly heavy one; is optically excellent, as you would expect in a G-class lens, and zooms quietly and smoothly from wide-angle to mid-range telephoto under your camera's control. Its zoom range makes it an ideal choice for portraits, and also for street photography, architectural features, art, sculpture and buildings. The constant F4 aperture provides excellent depth of field control, and makes the most of whatever ambient ligh...

Become a master of visual storytelling with the E PZ 18-105mm f/4.0 G OSS Lens for Sony E-mount cameras, a high-quality, advanced lens that offers unparalleled versatility and performance. This lens is a quintessential tool for photographers and videographers who demand a wide focal range without sacrificing clarity or detail.
Crafted with an innovative optical design, this lens features two ED glass elements and three aspherical elements that work harmoniously to deliver high resolution and contrast across the entire zoom range. The result is a lens that minimizes distortion and chromatic aberration, ensuring your images are sharp and color-accurate whether you're capturing wide-angle landscapes or medium telephoto portraits.
The constant f/4 maximum aperture throughout the zoom range ensures consistent exposure and depth of field control, allowing for creative flexibility and the ability to maintain fast shutter speeds in a variety of lighting conditions. This is particularly beneficial when shooting in low light, as the built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization compensates for camera shake, providing crisp, clear images even at slower shutter speeds.
For filmmakers, the E PZ 18-105mm f/4.0 G OSS Lens includes a powered zoom feature that is whisper-quiet, perfect for capturing high-quality video without intrusive noise. The floating axis construction, similar to that used in Sony Handycam camcorders, ensures smooth and silent focus and zoom operation, while the zoom lever allows for precise control over zoom speed.
Manual focus enthusiasts will appreciate the independent focus ring, which allows for fine-tuned adjustments even during power zoom operation. The internal focusing mechanism keeps the lens compact, as it does not extend while focusing or zooming, making it durable and easy to handle in any shooting scenario.
The circular aperture design enhances the lens's ability to create beautifully defocused backgrounds, providing a wide range of expressive imaging options that complement its high-end G Lens heritage.
To further enhance your photographic experience, this bundle includes the ProOptic 72mm Digital Essentials Filter Kit, which protects your lens and improves image quality, along with a cleaning kit to ensure your gear remains in pristine condition.
Whether you're a professional capturing events or an enthusiast exploring different photography styles, the E PZ 18-105mm f/4.0 G OSS Lens bundled with essential accessories is an innovative, durable, and versatile choice that will elevate your visual creations to new heights.
