Best All Purpose Lens
on June 28, 2013
Posted by: RDGarch
Aside from this lens not reaching the lowest of low F-stops, this lens does it ALL. From architecture wide angle photography and landscapes to portraits of people and objects with high detail to the sports shot from across the field. you can capture everything. i was recently traveling for architecture and the ability to capture the entirety of a building is what set this lens apart from all my friends who were rocking the 18mm minimum focal length lens. if you know the distance to your subject the on lens display of focus is great for those full manual shots. i would recommend this lens for the advanced to professional level photographer. absolutely perfect for the beginer looking for their first "pro" lens. BUY BUY BUY
What's great about it: Wide angle focal length, and great zoom capacity.
What's not so great: i wish the f-stop was slightly lower maybe F2.8
I would recommend this to a friend!

A WOW Lens for the price
on October 17, 2010
Posted by: MikeKovach
Overall this lens is my favorite next to the 50mm f/1.4, I take this lens on all my shoots and have used in in most all weather conditions as well as indoor without flash. I find the versatility of this lens remarkable and really the best in class for the price. When shooting at full aperture I strongly encourage removing the lens hood if you can. I'm getting ready to go on a 5 day shoot and this lens was my first choice for my toolbox. If you intend to stick with APS-C sensor, this lens should become a standard for your toolbox.
What's great about it: Sharp, crisp, clean images, light weight, fast autofocus
What's not so great: Vignette's at 16-18 MM, soft edges, some barrel distortion, no profile for Lightroom 3 or Aperture
I would recommend this to a friend!

My every day lens
on February 27, 2012
Posted by: Mauilady
First I love this lens....I use it with my a55 which I purchased at the same time. It takes beautiful pictures. The only thing that that I am not happy about, I bought this lens thinking that it had a Internal focusing system that did not "change the length of the lens" as it is stated in the specs. That was one of the selling points for me as I had issues with my old less expensive lens on my last Sony camera. But over all I love the lens....Sony you need to change what is said in the specs! I uploaded a couple of pictures but they come out blurry.....
What's great about it: This is the perfect lens to keep on my camera.
What's not so great: The length does change! Unlike what it says in the specs.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Slow Lens
on September 2, 2013
Posted by: FotoEric
Advertised as f/3.5 - 5.6. At 16 mm focal length, the maximum aperture is f/3.5. However, at 24 mm focal length, it jumps to f/4.5, and at 35 mm focal length, it jumps to f/5, which is disappointingly "slow", This information is not available in the "specifications". This lens is "slower" than it would appear.
