love it but hate how heavy it is
||Posted .First off im a novice and primarily wanted this for general photos of the family, kids, and trips, I was hoping to replace the 1650 kit lens with this lens. I realize the camera would no longer be compact but I loved the idea of how universal this lens was. What I didn't expect was how heavy this lens was. I did read reviews before purchasing the lens and thought I could deal with it. I love the build quality, the picture quality, and love that it is 18mm to 200mm. But after carrying it around for a few days it gets tiresome. The nex6 hand grip is to small for the weight of this lens and after a lot of debate the weight was just to much. It made taking pictures a chore instead of fun. Again this is just an opinion from a novice family man.

I'm using this lens on my NEX-5n.
||Posted .This lens image quality is so much better than the 70-210 mm FD lens I was using with an adapter on my nex-5n. This sel18200 lens really makes beautiful images. I think it has less lens distortion than the 18-55 mm kit lens and has no lens aberrations that my novice eyes can detect. But everybody I show my pictures to is impressed too so it's not just me. I use it to film school sports and get about 90% of the shots in focus. I especially like the look of the video I take with this lens. The zoom is a bit stiff so cinematic deliberate zooms require patience and a few takes. Very nice lens.

Great "Go-To" option for NEX
||Posted .I've been very happy with Sony NEX cameras. I started on a NEX-5N, and now have a NEX-6. I've had the kit lens and the 55-200 zoom as well, but found myself switching back and forth a lot. I really didn't want to spend the big buck on this lens, but finally gave in. I received the lens quickly (a lot quicker than quoted, actually), and was able to enjoy the Christmas holidays with my family and this new lens. What a joy. To have the range is amazing, and I'm very happy with the quality of the shots. The only concern is the weight of the lens, not because it's too heavy for me, but I can sense it puts a bit of stress on the mount on the camera. Regardless, I know this will be better than the constant switching. If you have the $, I would recommend this glass...

Great Lens
||Posted .Takes great photos and allows you to get a wide view, and far views too.. only thing that sucks for me is that I have the Sony Alpha 5100 and the lens is so big it interferes with the flash and gives a black shadow to pictures...

All in one lens
||Posted .Great all in one lens. I was so frustrated changing lenses, depending on the distance. This one has the benefits of both. But.... it is heavier and bigger. Takes great pictures.

Perfect Lens for my Trip to South Africa
Posted .I almost didn't buy this lens, but right before I left for my trip I decided it would be worth it and thank gosh I did! I did a safari in South Africa and in the wild, of course, animals don't come up to your car, but with this lens I was able to shoot close up photos of lions that were hard to see with the naked eye, as if I were right next to them. I bought the NEX 5 for the high quality video and this lens made it a real joy to shoot video. I just returned home yesterday and now I have so much video that I would never have taken except for the fact I could get so close up! I love the auto focus function. It exceeded my expectations for performance in videos, especially given alot of negitive stuff written in reviews I had read. That said, it is expensive and had I not been on a safari, I probably would have been fine with the lens that came with the NEX 5. Also, within a couple days two specs of dirt or something appeared on the inside. This has luckily not affected the images that I took, but for good measure I am going to test the Warranty since dusk inside the lens is obviously not my fault and for this price that shouldn't happen, and I assume that it will be taken care of by Sony since I only bought it less than a month ago. However, if not, I will update this review and let the world know. Also, I am planning to buy a protection lens filter to over lay over the lens so that I don't have to be so parinoid about scratches. Overall, I love the NEX 5 and for my trip, knowing what I know now, this was a great accessory despite the price. If in doubt, I say go for it, you will have the best lens for the size and it will last you along time!

Q: Questionwith external flash i have a shadow where the lens is so big, cant seem to find any kind of extender, what can i do
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer You may require a HVL-RLAM Ring Light that would attach to the end of the lens if you are using this with a NEX 5. if you are using a NEX VG10 or NEX VG20 you have more flash options. please contact us (the manufacturer) directly and provide the model of your camera so we may provide you the compatible accessories options for your E Mount Sony NEX series Camera.

Q: QuestionDoes Sony intend to adapt the NEX-5 hot shoe to allow external microphones?Allowing corded microphones in addition to the proprietary shotgun electret mike would greatly improve the NEX-5's video capability.
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer The Size of the NEX3 and 5 is to provide a smaller area with less, and still have the DSLR Lens changing ability. for a fully functional Shoe might we suggest the full Alpha DSLR series that provides Shoe, and Lens options. There are no current plans to add the Shoe Mount to the NEX series camera.
