Excellent and Versatile Lens for NEX 6
After evaluating the wide to telephoto zoom lens options for my NEX 6 (and possibly a future camcorder), the Sony 18-200mm power zoom was, by far, the best choice. With a wide focal length range (made even greater to 400mm by using the bi-pixel feature of the NEX), smooth and relatively quiet power zoom for video clips, close-focus capabilities, very responsive auto focus, compact design, great ergonomics and intuitive controls that readily allow...

A great match for the Sony Nex-7!
I use this lens to take action photos from a distance without affecting the flow. The quality of images is amazing with minmal or almost none aberrations on the edges. Has a fast auto focus targeting most of the times ( compared to the Tamron equivalent which I tested for 1 month ). The zoom is smooth ( manual ) and the automatic modem helps you to do beautiful close ups on video mode. The position of the buttons and ring to control zoom and focu... Show More

great lens!
I use this on my FS 700 and it is very good. It hold focus as you zoom and it looks nice. Much better than the old SEL 18200 still lens. The motor feathers at the end of a zoom nicely.

Great lens for NEX-VG900
This lens integrates perfectly with the VG900. Rocker arm zoom control works flawlessly! I have used this in a variety of scenarios from low light to action shots and the zoom and autofocus work like a charm. The only complaint I have is that the servo makes it very difficult to mount on my Merlin2 since it extends quite a bit under the lowest line of the camera. This lens is virtually SILENT during both zoom and autofocus! With several hours of ... Show More

Smooth video zooming
Currently, this is the only Sony zoom lens with an internal motor. So it is primarily for video use. I bought it for my FS100. I'm happy with the smooth, steady zooming with speed control. This feature is really the only reason I purchased it. Since it does what I bought it for and there is nothing else to compare it too, I give it 4 stars. What I'm not so happy about is the motor on the bottom of the lens. Be aware that the main photo of this le... Show More

Turns FS700 into nice Doc Cam
Just got got this lens a week ago and upgraded Sony's firmware to 2.0 to use the rocker handle on the FS 700. Sharp for the price. Autofocus work well, but has all the usual problems of autofocus. The design of the manual focus is not so good since it is embedded in the motor housing and my Zacuto follow focus zip gear can't be attached. We attempted to do some motion control 'vertigo' dolly zooms, but the firmware didn't include a way to program... Show More

Superb run and gun lens!
I've tried almost all the superzooms but this is it - almost perfect lens for run and gun style shooting. Specially useful for travel documentary as it's not that fast aperture wise but the f6.3 aperture is still quite useful for avoiding small focusing errors or if the subject moves a bit during an interview. It also focuses quite close even at 200mm (0.50m/1.64ft). I use this on NEX 5n (when travelling) and on FS700 (Picture Profile nr 3 for al... Show More
