An ultra-wide zoom should be present in the optics park of any more or less involved photo enthusiast. A lens with a set of focal lengths of 10-18 mm and a constant aperture throughout the entire f / 4 zoom range is perfect for the role of such a lens for cropped Sony mirrorless cameras.
All-metal "body"
The optical scheme of the lens is formed by 10 elements combined in 8 groups. All of them, along with the autofocus motor and optical stub, are sharpened into an all-metal body weighing only 227 g. Of the controls at the disposal of the photographer kindly provided almost equally wide rings for changing the focal length and manual focus with a smooth and precise rotation.
The nature of the drawing
Distortion when shooting at ultra-wide appears at the short end and at the telephoto zoom (if you can call it that). And, for example, at 14 mm wide-angle distortion will not disturb at all. As for sharpness, the resolution of the shots generally ranges from good to excellent. Drops in sharpness occur only at the edges of the frame at an open aperture. Then there are the phenomena of vignetting (darkening of the edges of the image) and chromatic aberrations, which are easily corrected at the stage of post-processing of images.
No alternatives
There are no alternatives to the Sony E 10-18mm f/4 OSS. Yes, and there is no need for him to compete. With its tasks of architectural, interior and landscape photography, the lens handles with a solid "five". The only thing that will have to pay for it is almost the cost of the "carcass" of the same Sony A6400 — the base model in the current generation of the "six thousandth" Sony mirrorless series.
