A very small lens with a constant aperture, an excellent option for shooting architecture, interiors, and elongating the bride’s legs) Also, there is one interesting feature, if you put the lens on a full-frame camera, at a 12mm focal length it covers the entire frame without vignetting. I would like it to be lighter, but the price would not be as good.  Aleksandr Manuylov: use Sony 10-18mm f/4.0 E OSS more than year |
A bit pricier than the Canon DSLR options, but significantly better in quality. Stabilization Price Sergey: use Sony 10-18mm f/4.0 E OSS few months |
Travel filming, video blogs, Internet streaming. With normal light, the picture from it has a sharp contrast. All the disadvantages are not obvious. I used it 5 years ago with the a5100, now it’s on the second camera a7s (although it’s not intended for it). A problem-free lens with a good build and does not take up much space in your bag. + A crop lens that almost covers the entire sensor on a full-frame camera a7s. The vignette is small and can be cropped to 1.2 (not 1.5) + It's compact + Well made + Stabilization on such optics is simply a gift for a filmmaker. In higher-end cameras, there is built-in stabilization, but paired with a7s and a5100 - it's very convenient. - You can find fault with the sharpness at the edges of the frame Anton: use Sony 10-18mm f/4.0 E OSS more than year |
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.
