The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Lightweight, compact, phenomenal stabilizer, F4 brightness on all focal, electronic zoom but very fast, practical, nice from 50mm onwards, good contrast.
Cons:At the short focals has a slightly blurred astigmatic, minimum distance of variable focus according to focal, graying problem for flare only at long focal lengths, resolves by moving little.
Opinion:Used especially for videos with a A6500, what to add... that the minimum distance of fire improves to about 70mm, strange but true. It's not constant. Overall it is a good all-rounder lens, mandatory to correct distortion and vignetting in the room or post, done this is a great zoom lens, with obvious limits of its category... This "trick" that Sony uses heavily (the correction in And it works, it allows you to keep your lenses compact. Coloru The stabilizer is great, especially for videos. Resolution from 18 to 35mm good but nothing exciting. For the videos enough and advances. Looking for something like that? Absolutely recommended.
Pros:Constant F4-- robustness -- light and compact multi-use to be an 18 105--
Cons:maf sometimes slow in low light conditions... sharpness just enough
Opinion:On Sony a6000 I used purely fixed lenses Sigma 19 F 2.8 Sigma 30 f 2.8 Minolta 50 f 1.7 with which I always found myself great , I always prefer the maximum sharpness. After two years of intensive use I start to tire of constantly changing optics and as a result I tried to take an AF lens that can replace them with dignity. After 6 months that I use the above lens and I alternated and compared the fixed with the Sony 18 105 I came to conclusions. moment of despondency because 'actually' I was expecting something more... from the direct comparison on the fixed comes out enough but nothing more...., f 4 constant to all the focal is stabilized,perhaps a little slow to focus in low light conditions. Now I have sold the aforementioned lens in favor of the Sony E 18 135 ... Morale I sold ALL fixed targets owned and the Sony 18 105...... from the tests carried out in an empirical manner and in any case in the same shooting conditions the differences of sharpness and microcontrast were immediately too evident in favor of the Sony 18 135 also I inserted to my kit the Samyang 12 f 2nd account to take as soon as the Sony E 70 350 is talked about very well.
Cons:Heavy and chunky on a6500, zoom and lens focus, lack of immediacy in the use of ring nuts
Opinion:I come from a Canon 6d with professional lenses 70 200 2.8 II and maybe I expected a bit too much from this lens. -Slow and awkward in focus-unbalances forward the a6500 fatigue of much the grip (so not suitable for travel and street)-heavy bulky and cumbersome which makes me miss the main reason of the a6500, travel light-power zoom slow and mechanical , not usable for professional videos. -All Sony lenses are electronic and non-mechanical zoom (as on Canon and Nikon) This brings some advantages (zoom and autofocus for more delicate videos and theoretically less weight and smaller size.. Although it is not always so just see Sony GM line lenses that are big and weigh as if not more than the respective for SLR) but also the big drawback as on this lens that does not have the immediacy I had on my Canon lenses to "mechanical" zoom-quality Medium low, I don't see shocking differences with the 16-50 Kit returned to the seller
Opinion:Mine is a simple passion for videos and photos. I only give my impressions without going into technicalities that I absolutely do not have. Recently, the 18 105 F4 G target has been built. Put on the a6500 certainly gives a more imposing sense to the car. It is true that those who choose a mirrorless often do it for a practical, light and easy-to-use speech, but with a view of this magnitude mirrorless has its versatility and grip that with the 16 50 base does not have. I come from a DSLR D7200 with 24-120 f4 that undoubtedly had its weights, here we do not get together between body and optics only the weight from the Nikon optics. Autofocus very fast, very comfortable [especially for those who make videos] the zoom lever very smooth and not noisy. Accustomed to nikon lenses that zoomed and stretched often held around the neck could create problems, this has the enormous advantage of not extending physically but does everything internally. In case [rare] you need the flash of Sony well forget it, the flash with the light will fall right onoptical length and will exit photos with shadow. Paradoxically enough [but it is a bit convoluted] with a finger pry under the flash to avoid it is aimed at the lens. I repeat, only in the unfortunate event that the flash should serve you. rnrnUpdate the review after months of use, the 18 105 was sold because the photo side (and I emphasize photos) did not give the sharpness that I was looking for. I took the 16 70 zeiss that gives quite other "emotions". Video side is useful for zooming, photo side has disappointed .rnEvening the shutter for more stability. In these days I will certainly try it even better to understand its surrender. At the moment my review is very positive both for construction and for the first photos and videos made. It is the right optics without fainting, certainly goes alongside another lens for other photographic / video requirements, but it is highly recommended. In my case I also have a 35mm 1.8 oss and the 16 50 kit. Soon I will take the 10 18 of which I will write later.

Pros:Bright, fast, power zoom, G version
Cons:Grosso, price distortion
Opinion:I'm new on the shooting range, but this lens emount I wanted to try, I am more than satisfied, I was very skeptical about the distortions, actually are present, however, the correction in the car is good and also in raw with a click disappears, f4 indicates quality and also the G version is only slightly less than the Zeiss recommend it.
Pros:Zoom range, constant aperture, motorized zoom (for videos), sharpness, construction
Cons:Maybe a little 'big for Mirrorless philosophy, but not heavy
Opinion:I was looking for a zoom-rounder for my A6000, the two candidates were this and Zeiss, but zoom range and price have made me lean towards questo.rnNon finding many opinions on the net, except criticism on the distortion, I was a bit 'doubtful, but eventually finding an offer below 500 euros I acquistato.rnDopo first glance I think I can say that and 'really well done, excellent construction, I said in leggero.rnCome against perhaps a bit' big, but the A6000 is scale very well and the focus and 'velocissima.rnOttima sharpness already' TA.rnNon really love the power zoom for the camera, I prefer to use the ring, which together with that of fire flowing very bene.rnLo motorized zoom and instead 'perfect for shooting video, extremely quiet (not like the 16-50 kit that looks like an electric razor) makes very fluid zooming .rnPer speech distortion must say that I did not find any major problems because if you shoot in jpeg machine corrects automatically and Raw Lightroom corrects me, then I do not even notice, ofpours perhaps by side video (I have not tested), but not making many do not care molto.rnMi am very pleased dell'acquisto.rn
