Sony E PZ 18-105mm f/4 G OSS

Better than expected I'd watched and read several reviews for this lens. Most were positive, though some not. No doubt, it's not Sony's best lens, but it's very good and suits my needs perfectly well for the price I can afford. I have the kit 16-50 and 55-210 lenses for my A6000, along with Sony 50mm/f1.8 and Sigma 30mm/f1.4 primes. The primes are my favorite and sharpest lenses, but I needed a good walk around lens...and that means a zoom going from wide to some telephoto. This 18-105 gives me the focal range I need. While the f4 isn't in the "fast" lens category, it still does VERY well in lower light (I shoot a lot in nightclubs), and the constant aperture means changing the focal length isn't going to choke my light coming through the lens as I zoom in. I look forward to many years of great photography using this lens and highly recommend it for any A5000/5100/6000/6300/6500 owners.

Good for HD video. Bad for 4K. Like the image quality (in HD) and zoom range very much. Servo works well with fs700. The only problem is that the pincushion effect is horrible when trying to shoot raw 4k. As such, it's only an HD video lens for the FS700 and possibly other Sony cameras.

Very Versatile Lens I have two of the Sony SEL E PZ 18-105mm f/4 G OSS (SELP18105G) Lenses. I use this lens on a Sony pwx-fs5 wherever a f4 lens is fast enough, and I use it on a Sony a7sii on a gimbal stabilizer. It is especially nice that the exposure remains constant over the full range of the zoom. The focal length of 18-105 is sufficient on both cameras, particularly since they both have the Clear Image Zoom. In very low light situations I will switch to a faster lens. It would be nice when turning the camera on if the zoom was the same as when you turned the camera off, but it comes on in full wide by default. Over all, very happy with the lens.
