Our take on the Sony SEL 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Zoom Lens

by Dave Bar

This 18-55mm lens is a great choice for everyday picture taking with your Sony NEX-series hybrid camera. On the 18mm end, you get a pretty wide-angle, "zoomed out" view that lets you capture a lot of the scene in front of you — great for capturing dramatic landscapes and cityscapes. On the 55mm end, you get a good bit of zoom, up to about 3X or so, which can be a good focal length for flattering portraits.

Highlights:

  • 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS zoom lens
  • compatible with Sony NEX-series hybrid digital cameras
  • effective focal length of 27-82.5mm
  • ideal for portraits and everyday shooting
  • optical SteadyShot image stabilization counteracts the effects of camera shake for more blur-free pictures
  • minimum focus distance: 9-13/16 in.
  • minimum aperture: f/32
  • lens construction: 11 elements in 9 groups
  • attachment/filter size: 49mm
  • lens is 2-1/2" in diameter, 2-3/8" long
  • weight: 6.9 oz.
  • warranty: 1 year
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

    a good lens for travel of daytime

    Written By Bao, Miami, Florida on Thursday, September 30, 2010
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I bought this lens almost 1 month ago. This zoom lens is sharp enough. Its optical result is over its price. A real good lens, with camera daily. But the aperture is a little low.
