Pros: Definition, focal range, autofocus, stabilization.

Cons: None if compared to price and use.

Opinion: Mounted on the A6400 it has become a perfect travel companion. The whole is not very heavy and more than performing for normal shooting conditions; if it is a little bulky for the street, it is forgiven with the wide enough focal range. Last but not least, the fact that you don't have to change lenses often reduces the risk of "finding" dust on the sensor. For those who do not use a 6500/6600 the stabilization compensates (a little) for the low light and the vignetting at 18mm (visible in RAW indeed, ARW) is easily corrected in post. this last "defect" is in common with much more noble optics. On the other hand, when you design a lens with such an excursion and with this size somewhere you also have to compromise. If you find it used it is to buy without thinking, if you find it in kit also, for all the others ... well, you do, it might be worth it.

Pros: Dimensions, weight, focal range, quality/price ratio

Cons: Plastic, not very bright, chromatic aberrations

Opinion: Let's start from the sharpness that define "Ok". It's not mind-blowing but it doesn't leave you with a bitter taste in your mouth. Size, weight and focal range make it an absolutely amiable all-rounder. If purchased in kit or used the quality / price ratio makes it one of the most valid lenses in its category. The stabilizer also works properly. The focal length ring is smooth and pleasant, the focus (tested on a mediocre A6000) is more than good. Surely with more performing machine models it is also better. The cons are the classic ones of optics of this type and price range... a bit plastic (but you don't have the impression of fragility). Goal certainly dark but this is a con that leaves the time he finds .... I do not know of significantly brighter analogues. It suffers from aberrations on points of light. Not star even with closed diaphragms. In conclusion, in its category, a perspective that can be very useful and can give satisfaction.

Pros: Good sharpness over the entire focal range, fast AF (compatible with the phase detection of the Alpha 6xxx) pleasant and soft blur, stabilized, lightweight, compact, good resistance to flare, excellent q / p ratio if purchased at 400-450 Euro max.

Cons:

Pros: Quality at 7.1/8 , really good and stable zoom

Cons: Wide-angle error but negligible in post-production

Opinion: Decent quality , sin the error in wide angle the sensor is not covered and there is a strong distortion ... is correctable in post production if you shoot in jpg the error is automatically corrected ..... used over aperture of 7.1 or 8 has a good yield, at more open focal lengths you can also make a fairly good blur but there is not the sharpness of a wider closure

Pros: Sharp, lightweight, robust, AF, wide focal range, stabilized

Cons: Dark, high price if not purchased bundled.

Opinion: Purchased with a 6400 kit after seeing a comparison with two other Sony APS-C zooms, the 18-105mm and the 55-210mm on which he won hands down on both. He is a great all-rounder, the images he produces are very sharp and well detailed. In my opinion it is better to take it only if purchased in a bundle, otherwise at the same price you can find other all-rounder optics certainly better and brighter at Sigma or Tamron.
