lovely for landscapes
My other setup is a Nikon D800 with the 14-24mm lens. They are a joy to use but heavy to pack. I pair this lens with the NEX-7 to make hiking pleasant again and still get the landscape vistas I love. I also like the reasonable size so I can use the occasional filter again on the wide angles such as my infrared or variable ND filter.

You Need This Lens in your Kit
After the Zeiss 24mm f1.8, this should be your next buy for the Sony NEX. The high end of the zoom (equivalent 24mm) is a great walk-around wide angle, while the wider end is perfect for those interiors and even landscapes. It's a sharp, sharp, sharp lens that you'll find yourself going to more and more often. Highly recommended!

Best lens for the a6000
I wanted a wide angle lens to mimic what I have with my Canon 5D MkIII and this one had great reviews. I'm happy that my shooting shows great results. I haven't tried prints greater than 11x17 nor prints in low light situations, but impressive results from an APC-S sensor. I wish Sony's other e-mount lenses were as sharp.

Superior quality in a compact package
Excellent wide angle lens for APSC cameras. I moved from a DSLR setting, had the Tokina 11-16mm f2.8. Though the aperture was very useful, the edges were soft and distorted. The Sony 10-18 nails it. Coming in a compact and lightweight design, the autofocus is spot on and the OSS adds in more value. Worth the price tag.

Great wide angle lens
This is a great option for both photos and videos. Though there is only 8mm range for this zoom, it is quite a lot (more than I thought it would be). This is a great lens to accompany the 18-105 G / f4 lens too. Only reason I did not give it 5 stars is I think the cost is a little bit steep for an ultra wide.

Not great but acceptable
The lens is very sharp at every focal lengths in the center area but wide open and even one stop down is soft close to the edges. At F8 it is a good lens, so I keep it since most of the time I use F8. I had a lot better lenses in this range (for my Nikons), which were sharp from edge to edge even wide open.

Nice lens
Works great for landscapes and narrow streets. Sharpness is good, even at f/4. I love these ultra-wide distortions it creates, although I noticed some barrel distortions as well (they get corrected in NEX-5 automatically). Chromatic abberations are noticeable, especially at f/4, but nothing too bad.

Wide!
Was using the 16mm pancake with ultra-wide converter for Real Estate Photography, but wanted to upgrade. A little disappointed in the speed of the f4 doing bracketed photos, but the zoom and video aspects make up for that. It's pricey, but I believe it will be worth the investment. B&H is awesome!

Great E-Mount UWA Zoom!
Just got this last week and theres been a lot of rain so haven't been able to really test it out other than around the house. But it is sharp in the center wide open at f/4 and stopped down a bit sharpens up in the corners. And with the OSS it's great indoors for higher iso conditions.

Wide angle joy!
At the suggestion of Trey Ratcliff, I decided to try the Sony E 10-18mm f/4. I needed a wide angle for landscapes and cityscape. This lens fits the bill and I couldn't be happier. I shoot with the a7R, and the fit is perfect. Lightweight and small, but with big results. Love the lens!

Love this lens.
I am a serious amateur and I bought this for landscapes. Yesterday we were on the Dalton Road to the Arctic Circle shooting a bridge. I was able to take in the entire bridge and gorge. The other photographer's had to settle for part of it. You cannot use this lens for a distant view.

Great Lens
I use this lens primarily for aerial photography. It has produced some wonderful pictures. The focal length is perfect for what I'm shooting. Colors are great. Focal range is awesome. I'm new to photography, so I can't really comment on every feature. But, I'm stoked on this lens!

I like it
Good lens. Small, lightweight, very wide angle.. I was pleased with the results on the FS5 and pleasantly surprised with the results on the A7S2 (full frame).. I was expecting a great deal of vignetting. I likely won't use it much full frame, but an interesting option to have.

Excellent UWA for Sony NEX
This is by far my favorite E Mount lens that I have used. Landscapes, Cityscapes, up close street, long exposure nights, HDR. So versatile! Aperture of f4 might be a little slow for some but with OSS I'm able to shoot at 1/5 hand held if needed. Lightweight and built well.

Outstanding Lens on APS-C or Full Frame E-Mount
Found out about the full frame coverage capabilities of this lens from YouTube and Brian Smith. Very good full frame coverage from approximately 14-16mm range in my experience, with 15mm being perfect on my A7. Proof is in the image. Check my attached photo sample...

Fun Lens
Great lens for tight spots, I have used it at a wedding reception recently and in a band room for video with my Sony ea50uh. The image quality is very nice, the only draw back is the lens distortion at 10mm which is occasionally a cool effect but not always.

Car show
Really liked how close I could get with this lens to get a large object into the picture. Cars are always parked on top of each other. Was using a circular polarizer on the lens. Photos burst with color and great across the whole frame. Excellent lens !

Great wide lens
In my recent travel I took this lens along with my sony alpha a6300 and the type of pictures are outstanding, very neat quality and they are just beautiful. They look like they came out of a magazine. Very happy with this lens I totally recommend it!!

Great lens - I'm very satisfied
I'm using this lens for a variety of things but tested it in the woods at a spot which I've tested other lenses. The results exceeded my expectations. You can't really appreciate the detail in the attachment because it can't been view at full res,*

Youn can't this lens for the price.
The lens is exceptional. Every day street lens plus beautiful landscapes. There is some lens curvature at 10MM, but without looking at a brick wall it will be hard to see. Easily taken care of in PS. You may find a better lens, at twice the price.

Amazing Ultra Wide
This is an amazing wide angle lens! I just got back from France and I found myself using this lens almost more than my 18-200mm. It was especially useful in interior situations. The 10-18mm is really fun, and I'm having a blast playing with it!

For Sony APS-C cameras this is your only Super wide option
The lens is very good and sharp between 10-14mm from edge to edge, then at16-18mm only the center area is sharp unless you stop it down to F11. If you only be using it in the super wide 10-14mm settings then you have a good super wide lens.

Best Lens for Selfies !!!
... i was looking for the best lens for my A5100 just for Selfies and after trying the prime lenses 35mm and 24mm, i settled for this! ... it makes me look thinner in some strange ways and my friends love that we could fit in the screen.

Great Quality!
I'm very impressed with the quality of this lens. I've been a Canon L lens guy for 15 years and wasn't sure how a lens on a mirrorless camera would satisfy me. As a backup system, I'm not disappointed in the images this lens provided.
