Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

Other than extreme telephoto, this lens has the ability to shoot what you need, whether close or far. You typically won’t get as much bokeh as with an f/1.8 lens, but that’s not why I use this lens...the ability to shoot wide and zoom in is often more valuable. Picture quality straight out of the camera (jpg) is good.

I bought this to take on vacation so I wouldn't have to fly with a lot of gear and it was great for everything from landscapes to portraits so very versatile lens. I needed something better than the kit lens which covered a larger range and better image quality than the kit and this lens was up to those tasks.

f4.0 constant aperture and OSS makes this lens a great choice to pick. It takes some time to get used to it (I have a6000) due to size and weight ratio but no issues after that. Lens quality is really good and focusing is smooth. It's always a better choice over other zoom lenses in this price range.

I recently bought this lens after watching and reading tons of reviews. If you need a still lens or do video this lens is perfect! True to the G series this is an amazing lens and at $599 (currently priced) you cant get much better.

I bought this lens to replace the 18-55mm Kit lens that came with my camera. It’s offers a great focal range and can stay at f/4 even when zoomed in all the way. The optical steady shot is also a great feature if you plan on shooting handheld most of the time.

I recently started doing videography full time and this lens is the best piece of camera equipment I have purchased for my Sony a6300. Its can go from wide open to mid range without having to carry around extra lens. Its a great al around lens and I am completely happy with my purchase.

Purchased this so that I could just carry only one lense. It is good and it captures great images even in the dark. Downside is you can’t use your stock flash because it will create a shadow effect. It potrudes. Use an external flash instead. Bought the Sony one and it is good.

This lens amazing. I love it. It takes the most beautiful pictures. I love the constant f4. It makes my pictures look better than my skill. I have many other lenses and this one is the most impressive. I bought it open box and it came brand new. Totally pleased with this purchase.

This is a great power zoom lens if you have a Sony E-mount camera and would like to record video. If you are a photographer, save your money and get a lens that doesn't have power zoom...you don't need that. You can get better optics, wider apertures and better prices on lenses that don't have power zoom. But, if you are wanting to do any kind of video, then this is the lens for you without spending a fortune. It is the kit lens for the FS5 which is a great documentary camera, and the addition of power zoom makes it even more functional. The power zoom is variable speed so you aren't locked in to fixed speed zooms. It would be nice to have an f/2.8 aperture, but f/4 still gives you a great picture with good depth of field.

Amazing quality, worth every penny! The photos are exceptional!

The SOny E PZ 18-105 lens is exactly what you need. The powered zoom looks great on video, keeping autofous steady and the SteadyShot image stabilization is excellent for hand held video. Photos look good and sharp, but I use it mostly for video.

This lens is very nice the pictures come out sharp and the power zoom and oss is a nice plus

Works great! Good image quality and and great range for the price.

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..

Great lens for the average photographer and videographer. Not the best in low-light but with a couple of setting changes will do the work. If you can save up and upgrade!

I love it, really good lense , very versatile, really good

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.

Have only tested at home so far but f4 provides very decent indoor lighting. Looking forward to taking it on next international trip so I do not have to change lenses. 18-105 is an ideal range for travel. Considered the 18-135, but preferred the fixed f4 aperture as more versatile. I only gave 4 stars because I have not taken the lens on the road yet.
