| positive: | A very handy travel lens . Not having to change lenses all the time |
| negative: | A tad front heavy |
| comment: | I bought this lens to replace the above 2 lenses as my travel combo on my wee Nex5T and I'm really glad I did. It is slightly heavier than than the other 2 combined but the convenience of only having one lens to carry around far out weighs any weight disadvantages. Sure, it isn't the sharpest lens, being a jack of all trades,but is just as sharp as both the others and does a great job and I'm really pleased not to have the hassle of continually changing lenses all the time. |

| ownership: | I used to own this lens |
| compared to: | E 18-105/4 G PZ OSS |
| price paid: | 250 euro (used) |
| positive: | Sharpness, color and contrast up to 70mm |
| negative: | Sharpness, color and contrast over 70mm Will run up to the 200mm end when lens is held down. FL marks are weak on the barrel. |
| comment: | I started to look for longer than 105mm (158mm FF) AF lens for e-mount aps-c, needed for documentary work at the investigation/construction sites. I selected this one because of possibility not to switch lenses at the site and because of no need to use AF-compatible adapters. AF speed was not so important here. I think this lens is good enough up to 70mm (105mm FF) for lot of aplications, and good enough up to 200mm (300mm FF) for documentary work, where in-camera sharpness, color and contrast can just be added for showing pics stright out of the camera. At longer end sharpness, color and contrast are much weaker. Longer end is littlebit slow too. Here a6500's high ISO helps lot. OSS works well. Confortable enough to hold with a6500 grip, probably not whole day, but few hours. This lens can't replace E 18-105/4G PZ OSS no-where and will probably stay on the shelf in-between these documentary works. Added: The FL marks on lens barrel are very weak, so it is not possible to see these in shadow. Added after some more precise documentary work: This lens is good for such a purpose and has good enough sharpness stright out of the camera. If one needs lens for such a purpose and can obtain it for small cash, I honestly can recommend it. One issue I recognised - panorama shooting should be very slow and stabil in low light, other wise a6500 can't save the panorama pic. Lens is sold after about 2 month use. |

| compared to: | I don't know of any lens to compare it to. |
| price paid: | 800 |
| positive: | This lens is great on an apc body but also works on the A7r but the 1.5 multiplier comes into play.f |
| negative: | The lens is heavy and will change to the 200 mm value by the force of gravity. |
| comment: | The weight of the lens causes the zoom function extend to the maximum i.e. 200 mm. A fix is an elastic band to add more friction to prevent the lens from changing your chosen focal length. |
