Terrific Lens!

If you want an ultra-wide angle lens for Sony e-mount cameras, look no further -- this is the one!

Even though it has an APS-C sensor size, it still works great on a full frame Sony camera (in full frame mode, it works from 12-17mm without any vignetting). Combined with APS-C modes, that gives you a range of 12-27mm. What ultra wide angle lens could give you more?

Furthermore, it has steadyshot and AF capabilities when used with a Sony e-mount camera as well as F/4 constant aperture (which you can change with a Sony A7s using the wheel on the upper right front of the camera body -- the back wheel changes shutter speeds). And the image is SHARP!

Sharp, Lightweight, love the focal length

I wanted a super wide lens that doesn't distort like a fisheye, and this is it!
This is my favorite lens, because I like the focal length and wide depth of field. I use this lens more than all my others.
Usage: SELP1650(rare;low shutter speed), SEL16F28(never/unusable;too soft), SEL20F28(often;stealth and sharpness), SEL35F18(less often;too narrow), SEL50F18(rare;far too narrow), and SEL55210(often;for long reach).
I simply point-and-shoot in the general direction, then crop what I need, during family outings.
For architectural and landscape, this is also my favorite lens. I used to struggle with panoramas and jagged edges, but NOW i can take one shot and have everything, with no image glitches.
During low-light, wildlife, macro, or stealth/candid photography, I would not use this lens. But I like this lens for general purpose / street photography.
It's not the sharpest lens, but it is also not unacceptably soft like the SEL16F28 with/without wide angle adapter.
I would subjectively rate sharpness as 'near the SELP1650 kit lens', which is decent, but not stunningly sharp.
Vignette and chromatic aberration do not bother me with this lens, but they might be there.
I wish I could use the F2.8 11-20mm Tokin_ lens, but there is no E-mount version.

Great lens for Sony e-mount

Basically I've found the expert online reviews of this lens to be true. Excellent image quality, good build quality, and works perfectly with my NEX-6 body. It's the most expensive of the 2 or 3 different lenses of this type available it also the best. I'm sure the Sigma and Ronkin lenses would work nearly as well but I wanted an actual Sony lens and I'm happy. Read full review

Expensive but a nice lens

I will use this mainly for landscapes. This lens should give me many years of great shots. Im not picky about corner to corner sharpness, etc. Most of my photos just get uploaded to a site that nobody seems to care about the equipment, how much I paid, this lens vs. that lens. Sony ovearall has done a great job in the mirrorless camera market.Read full review

Great Lens!

Well-built, lightweight, tack sharp images. A little bit of distortion at 10 MM, 12 MM is a nice sweet spot. Bought slim profile UV filter, and polarizer to eliminate vignetting. Great lens, very happy.Read full review

Very wide angle zoom with sharp images

This is a compact and very wide angel zoom lense covering 10-18 (covering 15mm to 27mm in the old 35mm format). I am using this lense on an a6000 camera and I have taken the lense on 1 outdoor trip and the images are very sharp. I am happy with the purchase.

Awesome and light lens

Couldn't be happier with this lens that I use on A6000 and A6300. I shoot travel, landscape and outdoor adventure and find this lens to be very lightweight and an incredible field of view.
