Sony SAL-18200 Pro Reviews

www.whatdigitalcamera.com‘s review Edit

While there's no doubt that the focal length of the lens is useful, it suffers compared to shorter lenses. In fact, it falls short when compared with the performance of other manufacturers of similar lenses, such as the Sigma OS version or the Nikon version.

slrgear‘s review Edit

The 18-200mm ƒ/3.5-6.3 is a good, but not great, lens. Optically it's above average - when shot at conservative focal lengths and apertures, it gives pleasantly sharp images with little chromatic aberration. Corner shading isn't an issue unless you are shooting at 18mm. Distortion is somewhat problematic, but not extremely so. When considering this lens you should really examine how and what you're shooting; if you find your shots don't need the extremes this lens offers, then you should make out very well with it. If you're looking for extreme performance however, you're going to have to look elsewhere.
