- Good Points
- This is a very good, affordable entry level lens for an enthusiast beginner. I got mine as a kit lens with my Sony Alpha and I've taken it to a trip in Africa during the holidays season. The lens is very easy to use and makes learning digital photography a real pleasure
Very good value for the money
Easy to use (especially for newbies like myself)
Good image quality and fast focus in sun light and bright environments. - Bad Points
- Average performance in low light.
Strong distortion noticeable on short focal ranges

- Good Points
- Great optical quality
- Bad Points
- Poor build quality, have had tow where the (plastic ?) gear have failed after not very much use.
Sony should get their act together and stop putting SONY on non sony maunfactured sub-standard products.

- Good Points
- Camera is fine. Bundled lens is Lightweight with Reasonable optics
- Bad Points
- Camera is good. Bundled lens has Very bad 'judder' or sticking at either end of zoom range. This makes it useless if using video mode & zooming. Have tried 3 replacements & all are the same. I know it's a budget lens, but expected more.
