    This is my all time favorite lens to go with a sony a6500..its clear and crisp quality and the autofocus is amazing..its gives you alot of option when shooting your subject from 18mm wide angle to close up shot to 105mm zoom..

    Junk the Kit lens that comes with the A6500. For anyone new to the sony family. Grab yourself a A6XXX body and do yourself a favor and get this lens! Simple a Joy to use. Def a clutch when paired with a gimbal

    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.

    A bit bulky but it has its place

    It's a great walk around lens with the 18-105mm range and it's sharp enough at constant f/4. However, if you're using a mirrorless SONY camera for its portability and small size factor, having this lens mounted on your camera may defeat that purpose. If you're taking a lot of videos with your A6000, etc., this would work great, since the zoom is smooth and the reach is nice.

    I have had my camera for about a year. I wanted a lens that will expand the use of my camera. This lens hit the spot. Using it for school performances has been easy. I no longer need to change lenses in the middle of a show.

    Overall, great lens. Was able to get an open-box in excellent condition which cut the price down dramatically. Would definitely recommend tracking to see if there are open-box options for any lens.

    This has been a definite upgrade from my kit lens. The constant F4 aperture has given better pics in lower light. Good for mid range or intermediate shots, but will need to buy a 2-300mm zoom for distance shots

    This lens offers excellent image quality and a great focal length range. It is a bit big, but not objectionably so. It is nice to not have a variable wide open f stop...actually, it’s more than nice. F4 is not the fastest lens around and some might want a wider aperature to increase their bokeh, but I find this lens to be great for portraits and a variety of other shots as it is, especially a it’s longer focal length. It is a good value for its price.
