Pros: Quality, cost, lightness

Cons: nobody

Opinion: I had it on a Sony Nex-7 that I used for the street, but I also did some photoshooting without regretting much more expensive professional lenses. Now that I'm back at Sony, I'm just sorry that this lens is only for the a-psc format, otherwise I would have bought it back immediately. When a lens gives you lightness, portability and quality, at a derisory price compared to what it offers, it's a lens that has everything you need.

Pros: Construction, stabilizer, general yield, filter diameter of 49mm

Cons: Weight and size compared to the size, price of the new

Opinion: the 18-50 would have been a better choice for size and weight for this segment, but the wide-angle rendering made me prefer this sleek, sleek lens, certainly better constructed than other kitten lenses (see nikon 18-55 and 18 105 nikon), the rendering in line with the same band, of fact is one to consider a f5.6-f8, has a decent flare and backlight strength, all natural and enjoyable colors

Pros: Good quality construction, stabilization, light weight and size.

Cons: As already said, to be a lens from kits, nobody

Opinion: I was used to plasticotto Nikon and be found to handle this, he immediately gave a pleasant impression. both in terms of quality of construction and materials, and the quality of stabilization, much more 'quick to intervene, and really good. with regard to optical quality to work as they should, it needs to be closed a bit ', at least f5.6-8 to wide angle, and f11 to 55mm, but produces excellent file, very sharp, and I did not find differences at the level of colors, and contrast, always by comparison with the Nikon I had. Whereas it is from an economic kit, one can not 'just complain !!

Pros: Build quality - full time manual - lens does not rotate during focusing

Cons: to be a kit lens nobody

Opinion: sometimes used on sony nex 5. I must say that to be a lens kit if they can only speak well, the other big brands should take example. The optical quality is not a miracle but it is satisfactory, the construction and functionality is light years from the lenses that we usually find on the most noble canon / nikon APSC.

Pros: Construction - stabilization - image quality

Cons: Size - distortion at 18mm

Opinion: For image quality is comparable to the 16-50 truck but it is a power zoom, I like more 'manual, even more cumbersome. The AF is fast (on NEX 5N improved after a firmware update), though often, when I was not in a position to ascertain the display, I found a photo with the subject not fuoco.rnNella card indicated above is "NO MF full time" , I do not know how to be a MF to be considered full time, but with the NEX 5N set in autofocus mode "hybrid" between manual and auto, the ring of focus can always be used to correct the focus and is a of the things I like best '. RNLA distortion at 18mm is remarkable, but given other tests of the minimum focal length zoom, maybe it's the norm and, as long as you have the correction in the room (only JPG), does not disturb' from time . Instead if it bothers always correct in photoshop.

Pros: Image quality, good construction, fast and silent AF, effective stabilization

Cons: Size.

Opinion: The result of this light kit that you can not speak well. And 'perhaps one of the best. Besides, he is also one of the most expensive. The only limit of its kind, is the size. It is not particularly great, but if you intend to use the nex as an alternative to a compact, then this lens will not help. Melgio a fixed (is coming out of a 20mm f 2.8) or the 16-50 collapsible.
