Sony E 10-18mm f/4 OSS - Pros & Cons

Both the zoom and focus ring operate smoothly
distortion is compensated for automatically
distortion is incredibly well handled
the lens performs very well
the 10-18mm is superb
tone of your review and the excellent photos
Sony 16mm and wide angle attachment
great autofocus and are extremely easy to use
NEX-6 worked very well most of the time

corner-sharpness at the short end of the zoom range is a little disappointing
not an inexpensive lens
resolution suffers significantly toward the edge of the frame
Sony 16mm prime with wide angle attachment
lot like the 16-50mm power zoom lens
images would look a lot less distorted looking in other words
bit short of lenses delivering the required resolution to match the camera sensors
inner lens tube extends slightly when zooming towards the long end of the zoom range
worst characteristic of any wide angle lens
Sharpness increases quickly as the aperture is increases
Sony is not worth 2-3x the price
too large and heavy for lightweight backpacking
always bottomed out at 18mm
it's a manual focus

Review: Sony 10-18mm F4 OSS Wide Angle Lens (Sony NEX) - The Phoblographer

When you have only so many lenses for a camera system you have got to make the new ones count. In this case I believe Sony has done just that with their new 10-18mm f/4 e-mount lens for their NEX system. Personally I don’t think I could have asked for a better APS-C companion to my Nikon 16-35mm f/4. If you are looking for that niche super wide lens this may be the next addition to your kit
