About this product

Product Information

The E PZ 18-105mm F4 G OSS Power Zoom Lens (SELP18105G) is a wide-ranging zoom lens that provides a 35mm full equivalent focal length range of 27-158mm, covering wide-angle to telephoto perspectives. A constant f/4 maximum aperture offers consistent performance throughout the zoom range and is especially beneficial when working with greater zoom magnifications in low-light conditions. Also benefitting working in dim light or at the long end of the zoom range is Optical SteadyShot image stabilization, which works to minimize the appearance of camera shake by up to four shutter speed steps.

    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.

  • Top critical review

    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.

  • Good lenses for Sony a6000.

    The a6000 is my #2 of 4 cameras. I like it enough to purchase some additional lenses aside from the two basic zooms. The SELP18105G is a smooth operating, sharp auto zoom. I have used it for stills and video. Although I try to avoid zooming while in video mode, this is an extremely quiet lenses ... much more so than the SELP 1655 stock lense. It looses one "star" due to barreling and pinching at each end of the spectrum. It does seem to be somewhat corrected by the camera. The f4 max aperture is a bit slow and requires an indoor flash. However, it is f4 throughout the entire range of the lense. This is a bonus at 105 mm (154 mm in 35 mm format) I use this system for my easier jobs and it performs well. Buy it ... don't hesitate unless you want the more expensive lenses for this camera. I reserve that money for the DSLR. One more note: this lenses is made in China. Don't be confused by the ads that stay "for Japanese market." That means, made in China for sale in Japan. Weigh the warranty differences before buying.

  • Great upgrade from the Kit Lens!

    This lens is a great step up from the Kit lens. Constant f4 apeture, power-zoom, and great build quality. It's filter size is pretty huge though. It's great for video (with the Powerzoom slider and OSS stabilization), and no externally moving parts. I would say the one downside is that the zoom ring is a bit touchy, and zoom speed is accelerated, so if you turn the ring faster, it zooms faster, as opposed to a straight 1:1 of turn to focal-length. Otherwise, I'm loving the lens, it's quickly becoming my all-around go-to.

  • Great walk-around lens!!!

    I'm so far loving this lens for it's ability to stay sharp at all focal lengths and is the perfect all-around lens I've needed. I've mainly been using prime lenses, 30mm and 50mm, to get used to having to physically get near or be far from a subject but found it wasn't always getting it for what I needed, which I'm constantly walking around conventions and in need of being able to adjust on-the-fly without constantly changing lenses. It's only been a few weeks but I can say that I have not been disappointed. Recommended.

  • Great lens with power zoom

    This is a great lens for video, with the power zoom function you can get smooth close up or zoom out motions. works great when using a gimbal since the zoom mechanism is contained in the body, not changing the size, thus not changing the balance of the camera with the lens.

  • Thank you so much for the good deal on t...

    Thank you so much for the good deal on the Sony 18-105mm PZ OSS G lens. I'm using it for my indie virtual production TV show Infinite Simulations with our new 10-feet tall by 30/25-feet wide green screen. I love the dent. I'm not afraid to lose it. Thanks.

  • Great lens

    This is a great all purpose lens for video as well as stills. If you like to manual focus this lens is a little difficult to use. My main con with this lens is that when you turn the camera off the focal length returns to 18mm. Not a big problem, but just something to adjust to. It is stunningly sharp, beautiful bokeh, and fast af. You will not regret purchasing this lens especially if you are on a tight budget!

  • Sony 18-105mm f4 G purchase

    The lens is as good as described and optically sharper than expected when compared to the images of the same type of zoom lens I borrowed from a fellow photographer, I know. It shows a couple of minor scratches on the lens barrel, but all in all, almost as new. Power zoom worked well typical for this product from Sony. Happy 😃 with the purchase, no disappointment here.
