SELP18105G E PZ 18-105Mm F4 G OSS

You really can't hate this lens. I just wish that it was f/2.8 for this price. If you already have prime lens then you probably can skip this one. But if you are looking to buy your first lens, this is the one for your Sony A6500, A6300, a6000.

I'm no professional photographer, instead, I take photos of my family and just for fun. A hobby photographer is what I refer to myself. For a recent family cruise, I wanted a lens that would be multifunctional, one that could zoom in and out and allow me to walk with just one lens instead of numerous lenses. I have to say that I'm also shooting with the Sony A7RIII.I actually own the Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens, but those who own it knows how HEAVY that lens is. It's not your average everyday lens, although it takes amazing photos. However, if you're going to be walking around, that is definitely not the lens to go with.After a lot of research, I decided on this one. It was ? the price of the Sony FE 24�105 mm F4 G OSS Lens and I really couldn't justify paying that price after comparing photos, and it did not disappoint me.The lens was sharp and I was able to get some great shots. Focusing was spot on and I love the fact that the zoom didn't extend out. I shoot in Aperture priority mode consistently, a few Manual, but would sometimes go on auto (very rare), and always in RAW. No matter which mode I shot in, the shots were spectacular.Do I recommend this lens, I sure do. It definitely the one that you should invest in if you don't want to spend a ton of cash, especially if you're not a professional. You get the range and it won't weigh you or your wallet down.I've attached a few SOC (straight out of camera) shots, all unedited. Once they hit lightroom or photoshop, you can really make them pop. The possibilities are endless with this lens.

After switching over to an Sony A6000 from my Sony A65 I found that with the adapters for my lenses I did not get the same quality pictures on the A6000 so it was time to buy some E-mount lenses. This lens is amazing! I bought several other prime lenses of high quality but found that I needed something that I didn't have to change for every situation. After some research I decided on this one. I am not disappointed. The quality of the photos are amazing. I used this for family photos, landscape, fast action of my 4 year old grandson on the move and videos. I have yet to be disappointed. It may not be a Zies but it definitely gives you almost as good quality for a lot less money. You won't be disappointed with this lenses.

Very fast lens. It also has a feature where, when you are focusing manually it actually magnifies the subject about 4 times the size so that you can see clearly how well you are focusing. You can take a picture while in this mode, as it will revert to actual size and take the picture instantly. Using with Sony a7Riii.
