exactly as it should be.
I have seen some complaints about this lens leading to some magenta corners on an NEX7, but I am not finding any issues. This is very sharp from corner to corner even wide open. There is some vignetting wide open, but compared to the Sigma 10-20, it is sharper, with less vignetting, not to mention smaller and lighter and including stabilization! What is not to like.

Great ultra wide angle lens
I mainly use the lens for landscape and cityscape. It has a nice, modern design and blends very well with my NEX camera. The resolution is great and fall-off at the corners is not noticeable at all. The zoom ring is well balanced and well damped. The manual focus is smooth. Autofocus is fast although the ultra wide angle helps in this department. I haven't found anthing yet that would make me dissatisfied.

I Like It So Far
I shoot an NEX 7. I have several Sony lenses. I've come to realize that I like shooting wide. On a recent trip to Spain I carried the 24MM, 50MM and 16MM with the wide converter. It turned out that 80% of my photos were with the wide combo. In spite of all the negatives about the 16MM, I got very good results... But I felt obliged to try the 10-18. OK, it's big but that's what it takes. It really feels pretty good with the NEX 7. It's built very ... Show More

Good but pricey lens
Before this lens became available, the only way to do wide-angle shots using e-mount Sony lenses was to start with their 16mm pancake lens and then attach either their ultra wide converter to get 12mm, or their fisheye converter to get 10mm. Price-wise, either combination makes sense, costing about $ less than the new 10-18 wide-angle zoom. I myself used the 16mm pancake with the ultra wide converter and got decent results after some work with th... Show More

Sony E-mount Wide Angle Lens
This is a much needed addition in the E-mount Sony lenses. It seems to be of a high quality light weight material. The lens is larger than the kit lens but seems to be lighter and of a higher quality build. The zoom is very smooth and silent. Image quality is excellent. Highly recommended to anyone needing a zoom wide angle lens for their NEX camera.

Good Wide Angle Zoom for NEX-7
I bought lens as opposed to adapting other Nikon's to fit this camera as I want to retain it's compactness. At first evaluation the lens is sharp and easy to use. Yes I would recommend this lens.

Good performer
Delivers good sharp images out to near the corners even at F4. OSS works perfect, tried numerous 1/8 and 1/4 sec shots and they are excellent, this is why I prefer in-lens stabilization over in-body. Took off 1 star because its expensive for an F4 and the build is largely plastic, but that also is a plus for travel, because this lens is very light. Its the only contender in this focal length and consider me a very happy customer, just wish the price of admission were a bit lower.

Wide Winner
Experimenting with ultra wide, this lens offers great transparency and contrast - a must have for the NEX if you love wide and wider. This lens is lightweight!, and fits in the NEX form factor very well; all made possible by the aspherical element design and a short back focus. It is less than half the cost, weight and size of a 21mm Zeiss DIstagon, for example, although slower of course. Pleasantly surprised with it!
