Q: Does it feel "heavy" with the Sony A6000? I'd like to be able to use just one lens for travel.

A: It is definitely heavier than the "kit" lense but not too heavy. I got the lense for travel with my a6000 as well and I am not disappointed. One lense for all shots. It's worth it.

Q: Are there 2 Sony 18-200 lenses--one with a normal sized barrel and the other a compact version? The compact version barrel has the same diameter barrel as the sony 55-210 lens. If so, is there a difference in the ordering code?

A: Hi Elliot, the SEL18200 is the first version (silver color) while the SEL18200LE is the compact version (black color). Hope this helps. Regards, Zander

Q: Is there a difference between the 18-200 for the Alpha 6000 and the NEX? If so, what is the code for the lens for the Alpha 6000?

A: Yes, this can be operated by manual focus.

Q: Compatible models

Q: Is this lens compatible with the Sony A7R III camera body? Thanks
