Great overall lense! Power zoom is awesome. A bit pricey

Lens was in great condition and is working perfect

This lens is a good beginner lens, but if you want to get serious into photography, I advice you buy a more higher quality lens like a 70-200 2.8, or a 24-70 2.8 depending on what you want to shoot, but for beginners, the value is in the price.

Overall really satisfied with the lens. The power zoom is my favorite feature allowing me to have a clean look and easy to use zoom with 1080p footage. Great for outdoor shooting and wide shots. Highly recommend this buy for those who shoot both video and photography on the Sony A6000.

Not the sharpest or fastest lens for Sony E-mount, but a well built and capable lens. Autofocus is reasonably quick and accurate, OSS provides good stabilization. This is a well built and sturdy lens. It doesn't have the reach of the 18-135 that comes with the a6500, but I prefer it for the overall quality. If you have the money to buy the body only AND this lens, do it. You'll have a very capable beginning camera kit.

Love it! Love the quiet zoom for for videos. Great color and clarity as well.

Nice and sharp. Not the best at 105 but the constant f4 is solid.

Works great with sony a6500. Great zoom and picture equality

Love this lens! My go to lens. I use it more than any other. So glad I purchased it! Excellent quality in build and performance!

IMO this is the most versatile lens in the apsc lens world. I use the G-master 24-70mm on my A Camera and this lens combined with a Sony ZV-E10 pairs perfectly as a B Camera setup.

I recently purchased the Sony A6000 mirrorless camera that came with 2 lenses, 16 - 50 mm, and 55 - 210 mm. It was cumbersome to change the lenses while shooting photos on our recent vacation. I love the range of this new lens which allows me to shoot a variety of shots without changing lenses. It is much more convenient and the quality is much better!

It’s a very good lens if you’re looking to get wide and close up shots! It’s very great in great lighting situations but for night photography it’s not great at all. Overall, it’s has great built quality and the quality of photos this lens creates is phenomenal.

Good cheap camera lens. Does what you expect out of it.

I would highly recommend getting this as your first aps-c lens for your Sony camera. I use this on my a6500 and it works great for both video and photogrpahy because of its oss, constant f4, and very usable focal range. It is a bit on the pricy side, but I think it's the best value in terms of the aps-c lenses that Sony has to offer.

Amazing quality. I’m a beginner videographer and this lens was definitely a perfect upgrade. It has a overall all in one 18mm for decent up close and zoom in is incredible clear. One negative thing would be is it does not focus when it’s up close. Overall perfect lens that does all!

This lens doesn't go in and out like a manual lens so it makes it great for a gimbal. The center of weight never changes while zooming in or out. It can be controlled by many cameras and has a zoom button on the lens.

This is my first time with a Sony camera and lens. I have been enjoying the lens so far and have enjoyed the photos I am getting from it. Haven't tried it in low light situations yet so can't give much feedback on that. Overall, well constructed and would recommend if you are just starting out on a Sony camera.

I like how smooth the zoom feature works whether with the switch and especially the manual option. The fact that everything is done internally is impressive. Still learning to use, but early results are satisfying.

Using as my walk around lens for events where I need a combination of stills and video clips. Great resolution and bokeh for stills. Smooth zooming (whether you use power button or manual) for video. If you have an event where you need video clips and stills, then this is the lens for you. Weight is OK for hand held use.

I love the zoom on the lens. This lenses provides clean and clear shots. My favorite lens thus far.
