Review: Impressed: good build quality and function. - About half the price of the equivalent Zeiss optics Sony lens, which I have not used. Reviews indicate not a huge amount between them. Anti shake works well, and both zoom and focus rings have a quality feel. A little heavy, but comes with the sturdiness. Used with my trusty a6500
Review: Still my go to travel lens - This is a fantastic lens after a year and a half it is still my go-to travel lens. Compared to another more expensive lens that has an f2.8 aperture this is light haha. The lens is versatile and can be used as a wide b-roll lens. If you want a good reasonably priced zoom lens to fit your aspc camera this is a good option.
