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

"A good zoom lens for video or photography. I got this lens with my FS100 but now use it for my A6000 for photography and as a backup camera lens. I replaced it with a 18-200 lens with power zoom because I mostly do video. The zoom range is versatile and the image quality is great.

I am satisfied with the quality of the design, of the lens and the image quality (even though image quality is about something combined with the body). Good for video. I always bring it with me when I have to shoot something important.

It covers an impressive focal range, but is this the ideal Alpha lens?

Gary Wolstenholme reviews the Sony SEL P 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS lens designed for use with Sony NEX system cameras.

Excellent optical performance for a superzoom lens; Solid build; Servo zoom useful for video recording; Effective optical stabiliser

Expensive; Bulky

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

actually i saw the reviews in the internet about this lens & i thought i have to buy it to try it myself, & really i was impressed about the results...

After a three month back-order, I finally took delivery of Sony's SEL18200 E-Mount lens.

Shockingly good image quality; coupled with superior build quality and great in-lens stabilization

Expensive; but easily one of those you get what you pay for situations

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Accuate; Compact Design; Easy To Use; Excellent Image Quality; Improves Picture Quality; Quick responce

More lens than camera
