Pros: Light, compact, well built, stabilized, versatile, decently sharp, kit price, AF/MF lever on the barrel, excellent AF even in low light.
Cons: All those concerning lenses of this type: slight chromatic aberrations, low light, distortion and vignetting at 18mm (in JPEG the camera corrects everything automatically), flare in backlight and loss of sharpness at 18 and 135mm.
Opinion: Having put it to the test in different circumstances and weather conditions, I can say that, overall, my assessment of this lens is positive. Purchased as a kit with the a6400, this lens does its job without infamy and without praise. It is designed to satisfy people who want to have a focal range that can do a little bit of everything, especially when traveling, while still having a decent general quality. The homonyms of the other brands are definitely more expensive and/or heavy. However, I don't feel like recommending it at full price (about € 520), but about 450 for new and 330/350 for used. The sharpness is good from f/5.6 to go up over the entire frame, at full aperture it loses something especially at the extremes. I therefore recommend using it mainly during the day or in bright places if you don't want to go too high with the ISO. The construction is made of plastic, so it is very light, however it feels sturdy and well built to the touch. up to 35mm it practically does not extend and even at 135mm it still maintains a remarkable compactness even with the bad lens hood mounted on it. The internal stabilization is good, I shot handheld even with shutter speeds close to a second without obvious micro-blur. The autofocus is deadly even in low light conditions, thanks also to Sony's noble system, but it is incredible how even a wandering and unpredictable subject such as a dog or a child always manage to be in focus and sharp at the point detected by the sensor. I will not dwell further with various technicalities because it would come out as a book, so, in conclusion, I can say that if you don't know which lens to start with and you want to approach the world of photography with Sony APS-C, this lens is absolutely for you, despite its defects.
