- Is this lens worth it over the Sony 18-135mm?
- If size is the priority, yes: it is far smaller and lighter. The 18-135mm gives a longer range and better sharpness but is much bulkier.
- Does it work on full-frame Sony bodies?
- It mounts on E-mount full-frame cameras but only covers APS-C, so the camera crops to about 10MP or 26MP depending on the model. It is designed for APS-C sensors.
- Is the power zoom good for video?
- Yes, the motorized zoom moves smoothly, which helps avoid jerky zooms. It is slower to respond than a manual zoom ring and can be heard in quiet recordings.
- Does it have image stabilization?
- Yes, it has built-in Optical SteadyShot. It works alongside in-body stabilization on newer bodies.
- What is in the box?
- The lens comes with front and rear caps. A lens hood is not included.
- How close can it focus?
- Minimum focus distance is 0.25m, which allows close-up shots of near subjects at the wide end.
