The Sony 10-18mm f4 OSS Lens adds to the Sony E mount lens system and is designed for Sony’s smaller compact system cameras. This lens is great for capturing dynamic landscapes, group shots, cityscapes and general use out and about. The Sony E10-18mm f4 OSS lens features a Super Sonic Wave motor for quiet responsive autofocus, a lightweight design with detachable tripod mount and special sealing against dust and moisture.

Experiment with space and perspective

A minimum focal length of only 10mm lets you capture striking interior shots as well as dramatic landscapes

Enjoy greater creative control

Because the F4 maximum aperture remains unchanged even when zooming, you can adjust depth of field more freely

Noise-free shots even in low light

With a constant maximum aperture of F4, you can use fast shutter speeds without raising ISO sensitivity unnecessarily

Precise, high quality images

Three aspherical lens elements minimise spherical aberration and distortion, with less bleed even at maximum aperture

Capture beauty in the blur

The signature circular aperture helps create beautifully smooth, rounded blur on the out-of-focus elements in a shot

Rich image quality with Super ED glass

Super Extra-Low Dispersion glass reduces chromatic aberrations to sharpen image quality even at the 10mm focal length

Built-in image stabilisation

When shooting hand-held, particularly night scenes or dimly lit interiors, Optical SteadyShot enables detailed, blur-free results

This E-mount lens is designed to work with Sony’s APS-C cameras, where it sports a 35mm equivalent of 15-27mm, making it ideal for capturing sprawling vistas. The wide f/4 aperture and image stabilisation also offer an advantage for those shooting in low-light.

So long as the limitations of this lens are known, and understood, then this lens is certainly capable of producing high quality images. However, it is a shame that the performance at maximum aperture between 14mm and 18mm isn't up to the same high standard as when the lens is stopped down a little.

Great UWA choice to throw into a travel kit. Excellent image quality and smooth controls!

The Sony 10-18mm f/4 wide-angle zoom lens is a sharp optic that adds an ultra-wide perspective to your NEX photography system.

Upon first contact, we were positively surprised about the high build quality of the Sony E 10-18mm f/4 OSS - an all-metal lens body are fairly rare these days. This is certainly a wise move by Sony because you are impressed when handling their products in show rooms.

I've been using a friend's SEL1018 for a while and had to purchase one for myself as this lens is super flexible when trying to shoot wider subjects. 10mm is great for landscapes and tight spaces and architecture but I also end up using 18mm quite a lot for street photography.

Amazing ultra wide angle lens. Have been using it for more than 6 months and it has been outstanding. There is usually a problem with the edges of the photos especially when I use 10mm, but that could be because of my APS-C camera.

The Sony E mount 10-18mm is surprisingly small for an APS-C wideangle lens, and very light. However, the build quality and finish appears very good, with a metal skinned exterior and smooth zoom action. Focus is fast in good light, and good in lower light, as the focus throw is short.

I have had this lens for a few weeks now and I am delighted with it, have made comparisons with the 16mm and wide angle adaptor the quality is vastly improved with 10-18 even at f4 I now have a full range from 10-200mm (15-300) with my 18=200 OSS lens.I can certainly recommend it

The Sony E 10-18/4 is a high quality lens intended to capture sweeping vistas on Sony APSC mirrorless cameras. I have used this lens on NEX7, A6000, A6300 and also on a full-frame A7R2. The lens is superbly sharp if stopped to f5.6 or f8.0, which is a usual setting for landscape images.

Finding that I was more often than not using my 16-70mm lens at the wide end. Decided to buy this 10 - 18mm. I am not disappointed Image quality is excellent being sharp with no chromatic abrasion.
