Review: Sony 10-18mm F4 OSS Wide Angle Lens (Sony NEX)


This is a brief excerpt from thePhoBlographer




When you have only so many lenses for a camera system you have got to make the new ones count. In this case I believe Sony has done just that with their new 10-18mm f/4 e-mount lens for their NEX system. Personally I don’t think I could have asked for a better APS-C companion to my Nikon 16-35mm f/4. If you are looking for that niche super wide lens this may be the next addition to your kit.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Solid metal constructionFast AF acquisition4-stop image stabilizationVery wide (wider than my Nikon)

Cons:Small zoom rangeThere could always be less distortionSomeone would surely like it to be f/2.8, this doesn’t matter to me

Gear Used

I used this lens exclusively on the Sony NEX-6 while I was reviewing it. The 10-18mm f/4 seldomly left the camera but only because I wanted to mix up the sample photos for the review.
