Sony E 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS (Sony NEX) - Review / Lens Test Report

 

The Sony E 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS is a decent "kit" zoom lens but it is, of course, not flawless. The image center is very sharp whereas the border/corner region is softer although still acceptable. A weakness is the high amount of lateral CAs at 18mm...

Great image quality. Confident in use.

Adds a lot of bulk to a very slim camera body.

Sony SEL-1855

 

It's the standard lens that comes with the camera and it feels nicely made. Portraits shot with it aren't bad. It's a decent enough everyday lens and if you're only going to take photos that are enlarged to around A4 it'll do the job nicely.

Not the last word in resolution, by any stretch of the imagination. Not that good for landscapes.

Sony SEL-1855

 

Build quality and solid feel. Finally available in black!

Image quality is only good rather than excellent. Some chromatic aberration in the corners especially at 18mm. Some significant barrel distortion at 18mm. Not too bad for a "kit" lens but for the Nex 7 could do better - the hi res sensor shows up image...
