    This is the sharpest most versatile APS-C lens out there. My only little gripe is it doesn’t have OSS, but with the IBIS on my A6600 I don’t really notice. You can’t go wrong with this lens.

    Really good. Pretty heavy, that’s why I gave it 4/5. Haven’t used it outside as much, but I’ve used it inside and I like it for areas that are too small to capture with another lens

    Amazing clarity, brightness and picture quality are the main features of this lens. It works as a very good indoor lens and an even better travel lens. It has easily become my favorite lens for my Sony 6500 camera.

    I have owned the lens for two days now. I bought the lens due to it being the best zoom lens offered for APS-C. The focal length of this lens allows this lens to be the perfect walk-around lens. I do recommend that you pair this either with the a6500 or a6600 due to both bodies offers in-body stabilization which will offer the best results from this lens.
