Great all-around lens for Sony E-moun APS-C camera

It’s a great all around lens for my Sony a6500 (and E-mount APS-C cameras). It is great for video because of its super quiet and zoom with 3 variables. Great for taking photo because of its zoom range and constant f4 aperture (of course it would be best if it was f1.8, but for its price and plus zoom feature, that comes with a not so big price at last). I also love that it’s an interior zoom lens that doesn’t troduce nor retract when zoom in and out, liminates the risk of getting dust inside that may someday cause stuck lens like my other ones!

I purchased the Sony E PZ 18-105mm f/4.0 OSS lens, and I have been using it for about a month. It has proven to be a very versatile lens that can be used in a wide variety of situations. I recently took it on a vacation trip and never swapped to any other lenses. The zoom range is perfect for most common shots and the images are sharp and colorful. Great for stills and video. The built in stabilization really completes the value. Great lens!

I bought this lens with Sony 6400 camera. It's a great combo!
The focal length is perfect for general use, from wide angle to mid telephoto. It's on my 6400 most of time.
Great for travel, very light.
Focusing is very fast and accurate, with little noise, which is great for take video. That powerzoom feature is great for video use.
bokeh is good, as it's f4.0, not 2.8.
Beautiful colors and tone.
Highly recommended !

I am really happy with this purchase. It is a very clear lens and makes great pictures. I purchase it for a trip to my daughter´s graduation and got excellent pictures. Everybody in my family commented about the quality of pictures I posted on facebook. I am still traveling and so far I can see in the small screen of my camera a high quality set of pictures. One of the great benefits of this lens is the constant aperture at 4.0, so you can play with ISO and speed keeping and getting excellent depth of field.

Needed a better lens to match my Camera (Sony A6300). I had a kit lens and a 55-200 zoom. But I love how versatile this lens is. I use my camera and lens as my jump out of my news truck to capture breaking news quickly. Both stills and video. Adds quite a bit of weight to the entire camera but the end results are amazing. The difference between this lens and a kit lens will truly show in your pictures.

Awesome lens! I came from the Nikon side of the fence. Sold all my gear and went SONY mirrorless with a6500.This lens is very sharp edge to edge, has color reproduction and detail comparable to a Nikon lens. F4 is a compromise to keep the price low. At F2.8 this lens would have probably cost twice as much and likely be larger too. I haven't found that to be a problem though. I can still get a nice portrait at 105mm with blurred background and nice subject isolation.

I was in a bad spot the day I bought this lens I was doing a shoot that consisted of 3 days of shooting and during day 1 of shooting a accident happened and boom my camera lens was broke I shot straight to Best Buy and they hooked me up with the best lens to improve the footage and quality as I was looking to invest in myself I seen it as a opportunity and the employees at Best Buy set me up for success after telling them my style of shooting and my goals I’m trying to get outta the camera ! And after a year of owning this lens and beginning my career with it it’s been a blessing that my lens broke that day

I've been on the search for a solid zoom lens for a few months now and after quite a bit of research I settles on this 18-105mm f/4 and couldn't be happier. It's most effective for filming b-roll on camera bodies with built in stabilization, but its also a great all-around lens to leave on when you're not sure what you're going to need on a day out!

Worth for the price
Try with proper depth / aperture size and focus - you will get stunning pictures
Zoom is normal - don’t expect long zoom range - not for focusing distance objects
Picture detail is awesome

Much better than the kit zoom lens. Super sharp. Many people go with the 210mm Sony kit zoom but what makes this 105mm lens better is the constant F4; it makes a huge difference. Spend the extra few dollars and you will not be disappointed. Highly recommend it.

Yes, it is a little on the large size, but it is still better than carrying a bag full of lenses. Works well with my Sony A6000 and takes great pictures in bright light and darker environments. Only wish is that it could stay at the same zoom when you turn off/turn on the camera. Great addition to my collection.

It’s a great lens if you have a crop sensor. Good for shooting wide and gives you bokeh if you zoom in so don’t worry about it being f4. I used it for a photoshoot and the images came out good

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!
