This lens is amazing. Cost me my wallet but definately impressed me. Once you take this thing outta the box you'll be throw by the quality compared to other brands. You can actually put standard UV filters on and don't require the proprietary filters sony has on the 16mm and 18-55mm.

Zoom and quality

It does not turn objects into gold

People who have trouble with low light or focusing with this lens should use it with better camera. I bought my A6300 with the original 16-50mm small lens then upgraded to the SEL18200 to discover the camera could deliver so much more than I expected.

It's a great all around lens. Very sharp. Well built, but kind of noisy on the focus. Works well for most of photography project.

* Sharp, * 18-200mm Good range, * Comes with a hood; I use to be a Canon user and most of the lens hood came separate

Focus could be a faster; Bit noisy on the focus; but you can't beat the shutter sound from the camera

The appeal of superzooms is obvious. A single lens like this, which covers a focal range equivalent to 27-300mm, can replace two or even three ordinary zooms. You don't have to worry about carrying round separate lenses, you don't have to waste time swapping from one to the other and there's also...

Having tried the 18-70mm and 75-300mm lenses this should be an excellent compromise lens . However Compromise you will definetly do. The lens operates in the same way using a middle ring to zoom in and out and a front ring to focus manually.

An almost all in one; reduce lens swapping

not good in mid range

Took this lens on nature trip to photograph whales. The time it took to focus, if ever, was abysmally slow and amazing moments were completely lost. It's just not up to par with what is promised. Very disappointed.

well made

Very slow lens

I was really happy to make this purchase. I had 2 kits lens that I was happy to make this purchase to replace them with. However the focus on this lens is pretty slow. I find myself using manual focus more often then not.

This is a great multi-purpose lens. I wouldn't say it's a must have but it is certainly cover a wide range of focal length, allowing a photographer (namely me) to capture anything from landscape to portrait to macro without a need of switching lenses.

Durable; Lightweight; Strong Construction

A brilliant lens covering a range of photo opportunities - ideal for street photography as it covers 18-200mm ... no lens changes required! Love it!
