Points for inbuilt image stabilization, and reasonable image quality. Quite light weight and plasticky so Id be very careful to not drop it.

You get what you pay for. This kit lens will serve you right if youre not a pixel peeper, serious enthusiast, or professional. Although it was too soft at the corners for my personal taste at 28 mm, it was quite sharp at longer focal lengths.

I purchased this lens for several factors, one being curiosity. I use this lens with a Nex 6 and there wasnt a lot of info out there with this lens and camera. The colors are a little more vibrant and saturated than the 16-50 pz. It is a fairly sharp lens and provides nice contrast. I have installed firmware update 1.03 on my nex 6 so the phase detect works nicely, auto focus I think is just slightly less quick than the 16-50. I will be using it for video work, I like that at 28-35mm you are at f/3.5 to f/4 instead of f/5 to f/5.6 with the 16-50. The build quality is nice, its not built like a tank but yet solid. The manual zoom is super smooth and the manual focusing is very smooth, really, quite impressed with these two areas. The focusing provides enough room for slow out of focus to in focus shots for video. If you dont have a walk around lens for your nex 6 and want one without spending a lot, this is great. You get 70mm (105mm w/ crop factor) on the long end and 28mm (42 crop) is still wide enough for most shots, then get a couple primes for your wide angles and you are set. I give it a 4.25 overall. I think this lens is a good value at full price, you do get your moneys worth but if you get it used for $300ish, this is a super value. It is bulkier than the nex kit lenses, but sometimes that isnt a bad thing.

I use this with the Sony A7S on ISO 12800-51200, and the images clean up very well (with a bit of noise reduction in Lightroom) and provide very good prints. I use this with the A7S for average indoor lighting situations, and it works very well with my shooting style. It is half the price of f2.8 lenses and affords very acceptable image quality. Although I am a fine art photographer by trade and very picky about image quality, this lens provides affordable quality for family and indoor documentary work using available light with the A7S. The initial prints up to 8"x10" are very good in remarkably low light situations. It was initially slightly awkward for me, as the focal length adjustment turn is opposite from my usual experience with my Canon lenses, which turn opposite for focal length adjustment. This is only mentioned to warn those moving from a Canon system to this lens. Not a big deal, just a heads up. Very highly recommended as a first lens with the A7S.
