Though this lens does ad bulk to your e mount camera, it is well worth it as it outperforms the kit lens (most lenses) in every way possible. I tried the cheaper 55-210 lens In a shop and comes nowhere near this one. Bear in mind it is also much cheaper glass. This 18-200mm lens paired with your e mount camera is still lighter and more compact next to bulkier dslr's. It shoots very nice pics and video and brings your nex/alpha e mount to a new level of quality pics and video!!

Significantly outperforms both the kit 16-50 (much better autofocus) and the 55-210 (more practical range). No need to change lenses on the go and worry about dirt on the sensor.

Positives: This is an excellent all round lense with very good optical stabilization. Picture quality is better than the other alternatives. Negatives are: Can self zoom under its own weight but has a lock switch at minimum zoom. Like all long zoom lenses the aperture / light reduces a lot as you zoom in. It is also a very large lens in comparison with the Nex camera bodies.
Good photos and effects can be taken with this lens. An excellent wide angle Lens for an Amateur/Expert photographer!
Excellent lens. Anyone with a nex camera should have this lens! I use it on my Nex-5N and my Nex-VG20 camcorder, it gives great pictures.
I'm not really best qualified to rate this item as it is my husbands lens - but that aside he is very pleased with it. It is pretty pricey but we got a 2nd hand one which looks like it is new so he is happy. It will get tested properly at Christmas and New Year for sure. Great make, one that can be trusted.
