Overview

The Sony E PZ 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 OSS is a superzoom for APS-C E-mount cameras, offering a 27-300mm equivalent range. Optically, it delivers good sharpness across the zoom range, with best performance wide open at wide angles and stopping down to f/8 for telephoto corners. Weaknesses include softness at smallest apertures and some chromatic aberration at extremes. Build quality is excellent with a metal body and smooth controls, though the lens is large relative to NEX bodies. It features power zoom for video and OSS stabilization. Best suited for video shooters or those wanting a versatile all-in-one lens who don't mind the size and weight.
