Sony SAL-1855 Pro Reviews

slrgear‘s review Edit

For a kit lens, the Sony performs quite well - sharp wide open at 18mm, reaching its best performance when stopped down to ƒ/5.6 or ƒ/8. It's a definite improvement over the previous kit lens, the 18-70mm ƒ/3.5-5.6 DT.

photozone‘s review Edit

The Sony 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 DT SAM is, obviously a budget lens and there's a price to pay for this - the build quality is rather mediocre. The lens body is made of plastic down to the lens mount. Manual focusing is basically a no-go due to the tiny focus ring on the inner lens tube and the rotating front element feels somewhat outdated.

ephotozine‘s review Edit

Although the features of this lens are basic, if you can live without the luxuries of internal focusing, a wider maximum aperture, or a silent focus motor, then this lens could well meet your needs, especially in terms of image quality.
