- Is this lens good for video?
- Yes. The power zoom moves smoothly and quietly, the barrel does not extend, and OSS steadies handheld shots. It is one of the more video-oriented Sony APS-C zooms.
- Does it fit full-frame Sony cameras?
- It is an APS-C E-mount lens. It mounts on full-frame bodies but crops to APS-C mode, so you lose sensor area and resolution.
- How does it compare with the Sony 18-135mm?
- The 18-135mm is smaller, lighter and reaches further, but it has a manual zoom. This lens adds power zoom and a constant f/4, which suits video shooters more.
- Is the f/4 aperture fast enough?
- It is fine outdoors and in decent light, but it is not a low-light or portrait lens. For dim venues or blurred backgrounds, a faster prime or f/2.8 zoom does better.
- Does the lens extend when zooming?
- No. Zoom and focus are internal, so the barrel stays the same length, which helps on gimbals and keeps the balance steady.
- What is in the box?
- The lens comes with front and rear caps, a lens hood and a soft carrying pouch. A body and memory card are not included.
