DT 18-250mm F/3.5-6.3

Supports the DMF/AF-MF push button on A77 and above bodies. Excellent zoom range. Proper focus ring, rather than the turning the end of the lens end on cheaper models.

Noisier than an SSM based lens, but no surprise. No macro function, but min focal distance is not too bad.

This is the lens that you'll typically find on my camera (Alpha A65). It's by far my favourite and by far the most versatile. I've got a number of other lens, which have specific jobs (macro, landscape, et cetera) but if I don't want to take the full...

My only slightly criticism is that I'd like to be able to use the 'lock' at multiple points as the lens extends.

Great travel lens. Using it on a Sony a77 - No problems with the picture quality.

Covers most needs of general photography, so no need to carry an array of lenses around.

none

Good all round lens for genral travel photography

Very bad zoom creep when lens is not in locked position. Bit plasticy, too expensive

ease of use,well made,quality what you would expect for this type of lens and the price point sold

Lens barrel slightly loose compared to some,lens can creep

Excelent buy , easy to use and make very good quality pictures . Very satisfied.

NONE

Allows a wide range of photos to be taken withouit changing lenses

Not used it much yet, but certainly easy to use, and pictures pin sharp

Not sure if this Sony logoed lens is just a Tamron in disguise.

The Sony SAL-18250 is an incredibly versatile lens. Great if you don’t want to carry a whole bag of lenses around with you. Being a Sony lens the construction is second to none. The speed of focus is amazingly fast and the zoom ring is very responsive....
