    Great lens for general photos

    Great lens, I'm using it with a Sony a6000 body and it is very nice to have such a wide range of zoom over the kit lens. It is much bigger than the kit lens but it's versatility makes up for it. I cropped the moon in the photo but even so the quality is great.

    Lightweight Lens That Packs A Punch With Options

    I am not a professional but I love taking photos. I got a new Sony a6000 for Christmas and wanted to have more options than with the lens that came with the camera. I couldn't be happier. It zooms in on your subject and makes a beautiful photo.

Questions & Answers

  • Will this lens make full use of a full-frame camera such as the Sony as7iii? Or would this lens crop the image? I'm looking for a lens for the as7iii that keeps the full-frame image that starts at 18mm and goes up to at least 100mm or higher.

    Hi Monica, this lens will crop the image since it was designed for APS-C sensor camera like the A6xxx series. For full frame lenses that would work with the A7M3, we recommend the SEL24105G.
