Review: Amazing investment as a beginner - I feel this lens is very versatile. I’m not a professional photographer. I chose more of a hobby and I’ve enjoyed my journey. These are pictures that I’ve uploaded from my most recent trip to Hawaii. Definitely satisfied with the results. It all depends on the user but for beginners, I believe this is a great lens to start. The auto focus is is amazing and the zoom quality it’s definitely impressing.
Review: Excellent lens - When I got my NEX VG20 I only had the body. My next few lenses were prime without stabilization. These provide great results on a tripod. Then I got the Metabones adapter to put my 18-270 Tamron on the NEX, and I got stabilization but no autofocus during video shooting. So when I bought this 18-55mm OSS lens, my VG20 camera felt like a camcorder for the first time. Now, mind you, this is a 3.5 lens, you cannot use it to film in pitch dark, say, in a nightclub. But indoor with moderate light, the camera and lens combo delivers results better than my DSLR, not grainy at all. It's fantastic in daylight, of course, but that doesn't really mean anything, most lenses are. So for me, having autofocus, zoom to go quick from an establishing shot to a closeup, and stabilization is extremely valuable, and that makes this little lens one of the most valuable in my collection, even if it's not among the most expensive or most impressive-looking.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can be used in Sony nex vg20h Camcorder?**
A: Since I use it on a Nex-5 body I assume it would work on a Nex camcorder. Just keep in mind this is far from a high quality lens. Personally, I would spend more and get a smalleraperature zoom with much higher quality ratings!

A: Yes.

**Q: Will this work for the Sony alpha 3000?**
A: I believe this this lens will work as long as your camera has E-mount.

A: yes, the lens come with caps and lens hood.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice lens
*by K***R on May 24, 2013*

I've read a number of reviews that were a little critical of this lens but that seems to be fairly common with any kit lens. For my needs, this is a great walking around lens. It focuses quickly and precisely and gives me good photos. On top of that, I bought it used and got a great price.
