Sony E PZ 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 OSS Lens
The E PZ 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS Lens from Sony is a powerful, yet compact zoom lens for APS-C format E-mount mirrorless cameras from Sony. Its zoom range is equivalent to 27-300mm in the 35mm format and therefore offers everything from true wide-angle to super-telephoto capabilities. This versatility allows you to shoot groups, interiors and expansive landscapes and also zoom in for portraiture and to bring distant subjects close. A newly developed internal linear stepping motor provides quiet and smooth focusing which is ideal when shooting video. And in addition to the Power Zoom function with three variable zoom speeds, the lens supports constant speed zooming for slow, smooth zoom, which is also desirable when shooting video. Zoom can be controlled from camcorders that feature built-in zoom levers and by the standard control on the lens barrel.

I'm using this lens on an a6300. I would have to categorize this lens as sharp enough and good enough. I am happy with the photos I make with it while understanding that I am trading off some optical quality for the convenience of fewer lens changes. I think some have rated the focusing action as slow, however, considering the great range this focus must rack through it is once again, good enough in my opinion. The focus ring is smooth and manual focus is a breeze with it. There is no dead band before the camera realizes you are trying to adjust focus. The zoom ring is very stiff. I can't tell if the ring is loosening up a bit with use or if my arm is getting stronger with the exercise. I don't really know what the lock is for at 18mm. Pretty useless unless you are ...

Pretty useless unless you are pointing the camera straight down and want it to stay, for certain, at 18mm. I had one disturbing problem with the lens at first use. When I would hold focus on a subject the focus mechanism would vibrate alarmingly and squeal loudly. I was pretty sure the lens was going back to B&H as that was really alarming. I dismounted the lens and reattached it and the bad activity was somewhat reduced. Each cycling of the mount improved matters a bit. Now I'm thinking the contacts on the lens might be a problem. I took a dry cotton swab and burnished the contacts. The problem was then gone. Since then there is no hint of the problem.

Autofocus and stabilisation is excellent in all but the lowest lighting conditions where the speed is getting too low.The con, of course, is you've just tripled the weight of your camera. A small price to pay to bring home the best pictures.This lens is just about the best companion to the Superior Auto mode of the A6300/A6500 rivaled only by the much more expensive SELP18200 or a cine lens.It's great for shooting 4k or time lapse clips as well.

I rented this lens to pair with an FX30 and it got the job done. Images came out nicely and the stabilishot worked as promised, but the camera struggled to recognize the lens from time to time and required remounting on the fly for autofocus to work correctly. When recognized, the pairing of internal stabilization with the lens' stabilishot provides a tripod-like level of stability, which can get a little jerky if trying to go from no movement to a small pan or tilt. Overall, if you're looking for a good travel lens with good responsiveness and few chromatic issues, it'll work.

This is probably the next best super zoom to the Sony 24-240mm lens, plus it has servo zoom. At 18mm there is noticeable fisheye but not a deal breaker.This is not a power zoom lens like the f/4 ones. This is simply a smaller version of the 24-240mm (the front element extends when zooming, and the lens tube is split into two parts to make the length of the physical casing shorter) with a servo motor attached. Thats a step down from the power zooms because the zoom speed is quite limited, and the motor is tiny and makes a slight noise when operating, although the image itself zooms smoothly. At full extension it gets more front-heavy as well.So I dont know what they were thinking, but Sony chose to attach the servo motor to... the bottom... without its own tripod ...

Thats the absolute worst place to put a servo motor without its own mount, because I cant mount it to larger tripod plates as the motor is in the way!! The motor housing extends about a half inch past the bottom of the camera body, and it is round rather than flat, so I cant even put the camera upright on a flat surface. I just dont understand why Sony would do this.
A lot of places scam you these days, they are dishonest, cheap, you never know what you're going to get . I both rented and purchased from this place. My rental was awesome. Packaged amazingly. Product was great-- and the service great, because I didn't love the lens. Then I purchased a lens (that they recommended (because I didn't love the Tamron), and I love it. Was in really excellent shape at a fraction of the cost. This place has good people, uniquely.
This is the earlier of Sony's two E-mount 18-200 mm lenses, and is the better of the two. While the newer version is more compact, it suffers from more chromatic aberration and softer focus in the corners than this original Sony lens. The newer one is mostly all plastic, and does not have the smooth mechanical feel of the older, metal lens. This is typical of Sony products. They put their heart and soul into their first round of a new product, and spend years finding ways to trim expenses and increase profits in the next rendition. Both models have a built in stabilizer, with the metal lens working just a tad smoother than the newer, plastic lens. This metal lens is mighty impressive looking no matter which E-series camera you mount it on, and just happens to take ...

Im an advance amateur and have used many highly rated lenses. Coming from the Canon camp - I have owned most of the Canon L zoom lenses: 16-35L, 24-105L, 24-70L, 70-200Ls, and 100-400L plus primes: 35mm f1.4L, 100mm f2.8L, and 135mm f2L. Its almost 7 years that I own this lens since switching to the Sony mirrorless camp in 2011. Since then, I have purchased and currently own the Sony 24mm f1.8, Sony 55mm f1.8, Zeiss Touit 32mm f1.8, Zeiss Touit 12mm f2.8, and the Sony 90mm f2.8 Macro G OSS. However, every time I need versatility Im still going back to this lens and it never failed me.I was first very skeptical about this lens because of its range.

I was worried about distortion on the wide end and the sharpness on the long end. This lens proved me wrong.Over the years, I have used it first on my Nex-5 then Nex-5N then to the current a6000. Every time I went back and review the pictures that I took with this lens from any of my outings, it brought a smile to my face. I was very surprise how little distortion at the 18mm end, the color and contrast are beautiful, and very sharp.These pics are straight from the camera (unedited).
I really wanted to like this lens - I really did. I purchased it "Open Box - Excellent", and the savings was substantial. The two previous "Open Box" Sony E-mount lenses I've bought from BB arrived in amazing, like-new condition - this one, not so much. The OEM Sony box was quite beat-up, and I was fearful about the lens' condition; thankfully, the lens itself was in "Very Good", but not "Excellent" condition. I say that because the lens hood was missing from the package. Normally, I would've chalked it up to a bit of lax QC and purchased the appropriate Sony hood from an online source like eBay; in this case, however, that wasn't doable. This particular Sony lens hood retails for around a hundred bucks, and even used ones sell for sixty-five to seventy-five bucks. ... MoreI really wanted to like this lens - I really did.

This particular Sony lens hood retails for around a hundred bucks, and even used ones sell for sixty-five to seventy-five bucks. Yikes!Aside from that, the image quality was pretty good, I must say. Sharpness was about what I expected, soft at both extreme ends, but manageable by stopping down and additional tweaking in post. The other major downer for me was the weight. My understanding is the larger SEL18200 is even heavier, but this one still weighed down my NEX-7 to the point that I feared I wouldn't want to lug it around on our cruise next summer, which is why I purchased this lens in the first place.In the end, I think the combination of the missing hood and the weight made me decide to return this lens, but I believe that the SEL18200LE would be a good fit for the right person and the right application.
The servo bulge for this lens is below the camera body, so it causes many tripod mounting problems. With some tripods, where the shoe must slide back before releasing, the lens has to be removed from the camera before the camera and shoe can be released. The lens is also completely incompatible with tripod-mounted audio interfaces where the camera mounts to the top of the interface. Remote control of the PZ function is possible, but very slow, jerky and unreliable due to poor software design.If I had known about the dysfunctional design, I would have waited for a different PZ lens and corrections to the remote camera control software. Extremely disappointed.
