 Sony 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS LE Lens - Significantly smaller and lighter than comparable lenses.   The Sony SEL18200LE high magnification zoom lens is perfect for a wide range of shooting situations. With a compact size achieved in part by downsizing the autofocus motor and optical image stabilization unit, this lens offers a powerful mix of versatility and image quality perfect for shooting scenarios where a light, compact camera and lens combination is optimal.  The broad focal length coverage of the lens from 18mm wide angle to 200mm telephoto (27mm to 300mm in 35mm equivalence) makes it an ideal high-magnification "travel" lens for a wide range of shots. Capture expansive landscapes, charming portraits with pleasantly blurred backgrounds, even sports and nature shots. Optical SteadyShot (OSS) technology cuts down on blur caused by camera shake and reduces reliance on high ISO settings when shooting in dark environments.   More compact and lightweight than E 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 OSS   Significantly smaller and lighter than the SEL18200 lens, the SEL18200LE is the perfect lens to cover a wide range of shooting situations. Achieved in part by downsizing the autofocus motor and optical image stabilization unit, this compact lens versatility and image quality will appeal to all users who desire a light, compact camera and lens combination.   11x high-magnification zoom from 18 mm wide angle to 200mm telephoto   The broad focal length coverage of the lens from 18 mm to 200 mm (27 mm to 300 mm in 35 mm equivalent) makes it an ideal high-magnification "travel" lens for a wide range of photography. Users can easily capture expansive landscapes, snapshots of expressive faces at a "human-vision" angle of view, charming portraits with softly blurred backgrounds and more. In addition, the telephoto capability of the lens makes it ideal for sports and nature photography.   Optical image stabilization (Optical SteadyShot)   Equipped with Optical SteadyShot (OSS), the lens compensates for blur caused by camera shake. In addition to reducing blur for normal handheld photography, Optical SteadyShot also reduces reliance on high ISO settings when shooting in dark environments, greatly enhancing the effectiveness of Hand-held Twilight and Anti Motion Blur modes.   High imaging performance   Equipped with two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements and four aspherical elements, the SAL-18200LE lens employs the same popular, circular aperture found in many a lenses, enabling photos with beautifully round defocus areas.

This lens is an amazing starter lens for any use. I would recommend this for any person who has just got their first full frame or even APS-c format camera. High quality pictures with great focal length range.

Multi-purpose, excellent starter lens

Excellent lens. Fairly lightweight and very handy covering a good range.

Excellent

Use this on my Sony A6600 and am blown away by the image quality - just used it at a wedding as a backup and will use it again

Best all round zoom

I was tired of switching out the kit lenses on my Sony Alpha 6600.  This lens lets in more light and covers true range of focal distances all - in - one.  It has also lightened up my camera bag which os a big plus for traveling light.  Lens operates well with no vignetting or loss of crispness in the corners .  Seems tight, but that?s because it is new.

Good step up!

I use this lens most of the time because it can deal with almost every situation.

Useful all round purpose tool

I bought this lens some weekes ago to use with my SONY 6600 camera during abroad travels. I found that such set is very useful.

Travel lens

A lightweight lens with a good focal range of 18 mm to 200 mm which is 24 mm to 300 mm full frame equivalent. It will enable you to capture most scenes. Sharp at the centre with a little fall off at the edges. In many cases this will not matter, if your main subject is in focus the edges and background don't always need to be. Use it with a wider aperture, the out of focus background with a pleasant bokeh can make your main subject stand out. If you want a flexible light lens for use on any of the excellent Sony APSC cameras that you can use all day this is good value for money.

Good versatile all day lens

Focal range is extremely handy and will avoid you to carry several lenses. However, the picture quality is a drawback, the lack of sharpness is noticeable. Mechanically, my lens also started to show some issues at some point with some vibration produced inside de lens at random occasions. I believe this is a common issue of this lens.

All range, missing the quality

Bought this lens in 2018 with a6000 Sony camera. Light weight and takes very nice sharp pictures. Photo below was taken this year in June.

Great travel lens

This lens replaced Sony's bulbous and heavy power-zoom lens.

Form factor that should have included power-zoom

This was my go to lens forever, then it started to shake/shimmy when I would focus. I assumed it was a problem with that particular lens, so I ordered a new one. About nine months later, there?s the shimmy. I had no problem on my NEX, but this lens doesn?t seem to like my a6500. It?s a shame because it?s a great lens. I just can?t bring myself to buy a third one. I found a suggestion online that you turn the study shot off in your camera and then it won?t shake, I tried it, with the steadying components in the lens didn?t measure up to the steadiness provided by the camera.

Works great, until it doesn?t

I bought SEL18200LE a month ago . It works well on my Alpha 6000 .
Great zooming and perfect pictures.
Portrait pictures are also extraordinary.

Perfect lens

I bought a few weeks ago n I like it so much will still support sony as I like it

nice

Average zoom lens. I use it with Sony a6300 camera. I have iphone 8. And the picture quality which I get with this lens is just OK compared to iphone. It is not something which makes a WOW factor.

Average Zoom Lens

I bought this lens on January18th, 2020 and registered on that day, but
I'm VERY disappointed that the £50 winter deal has still not been paid into my account

Winter deal on this product, registered 18.01.2020

I bought this lens a few year ago and I'm so happy that I had it.
It's great for vacation.

Great for Vacation.

Love the lens, performs great for the massive zoom range. The size and range from wide to telephoto make for an amazing travel lens. 

Only complaint is a defect in the OSS that causes audible and visible vibrations within the lens. Defect only occurs sometimes when OSS is forced to be active for long periods (long shutters of more than 2-3 seconds or holding focus by half pressing shutter for more than 2-3 seconds). When defect occurs, power on and off usually resolves it. Defect is also avoided by disabling OSS.

Terriffic travel/all around lens with one caveat

As much as I love the lens it is not as good as my first 18-200 lens, the second creeps and gets worse over time I believe, this new one (3rd) out of the box has some creep already

Love the lens

This lens is wonderful, Just what I needed to complete my Sony A7 111. The filter bundle is good. the other items are just a bonus for me. The lens is fast and sharp and easy to focus manually or on auto focus. I recommend this Lens.

Great Lens + Accesories

I have had this lens for over 2 years. It's a great lens for a wide range of uses. Like most zooms, you will not get the same bokeh as a 2.8 f-stop lens or the sharpness of a prime lens. That is not the purpose of this lens. This is a lens that can take just about any photo with good, sharp images and produce beautiful photos. You can zoom in to get great close ups or get very good wide angle shots. It makes a perfect travel lens. And best of all, you don't need to keep changing lens when you're on the move.

If you don't have a specific purpose in minded for your lens and are just looking for an good all-around lens, this is a great choice for a crop sensor camera.

Great all-around lens

Brought this along with my new A6500, replacing my A6000+SELP1650+SEL55210. 
If you're a hobbyist and travel frequently, you would know, how things get difficult when you have more gear with you. Thats where I decided i would go for a all in one lens such as the SEL18200LE. 
This one is way better than my previous setup. As I dont have to jump between lenses. Focus is sharp around the center. 
 
The overall performance is good but at higher focal lengths focusing becomes really difficult. And some times you also get a metallic whine while focusing at those focal lengths. 
Cant say that I would fully recommend this lens but sure if a future update solves this issue then why not.

Great overall travel Lens

I am sorry but i paid an handsome amount to replace fungus infected lenses and sensor 
So practically new camera 
The photos are atrocious 
Something wrong from my end or shabby repair

Poor performance post repair

That is the lens I am mostly using and happy with photos. But.
Two of those died in my hands during last three years with the same symptoms - no focusing / noise from auto focus motor. 
Even being well cared. 
I am still puzzled which lens to buy to replace it. Maybe non-LE bigger lens version?

Good universal lens - though poor build quality

Very versatile. High quality photos.
Good for travelling

Excellent lens

It is great to buy it in before my vacation in this month. Firstly, it reduced my weight burden. Secondly, its wide zoom range allow me to quickly capture my photos.

Great Experience

Really pleased with this telescopic lens. Solid build and easy to use. Fits well on the camera case and still remains a compact size. As can go down to ,5 metres I don't need to change the lens.

Solid build

I don't want to change lens, or carry multiple lenses on trips when airplanes are involved. This one lens lets me take wide angle to very good zoom and covers 99% of what I want to photograph. It is also fairly light and compact and goes well with my A6500. As a bonus it does well with macro too. It catches focus almost a 100% of the time, but sometimes I feel some images are soft when enlarged.

Bought this a month ago. Found a bit not sharp on tele even using functional focus.

Handy in design

I am a novice hobbyist and have a steep learning curve ahead of me but so far I am really enjoying using my Sony a6000 with the Sony 18-200mm.  This lens is well made and serves my needs.
