The metal bayonet style mount makes accurate alignment easy. The rounded nine-blade aperture gives out of focus areas of the image an attractive highlight quality. The floating element in the Distagon design includes two aspherical elements and three anomalous, partial dispersion, glass elements to reduce optical aberrations and distortion even to the periphery of the image. This offers improved clarity, sharpness, and brightness. The patented Carl Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating on the surface of all lenses improves light transmission and contrast by reducing lens flare, reflections, and ghosting.This Zeiss lens has a full frame 35-millimeter equivalent focal length of 18 millimeters.

Love this Wide Angle autofocus lens on my Sony A6500
This lens is light weight, very fast autofocus, and produces great images on an APS-C camera like the Sony A6500. Equivalent focal length 18mm and rectilinear, not noticeable distortion at the edges.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Best of the Best
I have not compared, but the Sony 10-18mm may be a better VALUE since it zooms in/out to the equivalent of a 15-27mm on Full Frame reference vs. only 18mm for this when using crop sensor it was made for. However, as a single focal length is Superb for those who want the ultimate sharpness on a wide angle optic. I use mine on an A7R III (auto APS-C crop from FF) and A6000 APS-C. Best of the best.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

More suited for photography
Very good image/video quality but the noise it produces during video capture could be disturbing even with the firmware update, focus a lil bit in video too atleast when comparéd to other native emount lensesVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Needs firmware update
This lens has a flaw which may be corrected by having the manufacturer update its firmware. The focus motor continually operates causing an unpleasant user experience that prohibits clean audio during video usage. In my case this lens was advertised for use with the A7 series cameras which is not correct as it does not cover the full frame. It is designed for smaller sensor mirrorless cameras.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Out of focus
The auto focus does not work well. I realized a time after the main assessment, therefore, I could not do anything to compensate for that error.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
