| Great Fun-Unusual shots | 2010-02-01 | 5 / 5 |

| I am a non-professional serious hobbyist. This lens is great fun! It produces eye-popping photos, and even its presence on the camera suggests many pictures that might be taken. Foe example it allows full views of buildings from a position close enough to avoid obstructions. The distortions which are inherent in its use are easily corrected with Photoshop. I couldn't be more pleased with this lens. |
| Excellent quality lens, extreme wide angle | 2009-06-11 | 5 / 5 |

| This lens produces consistently high quality images. The question you have to ask is whether you really need to spend $599 or so to get an 11-18 mm range if you already have the 18-250 lens. Apart from the expense it performs well, but I have to say I'm not getting all that much use out of it given the limited range and find myself switching to it only occasionally. You're going to have to spring for a monster size filter for this as well. So it really comes down to how often you are going to use it. That said, quality-wise it is as good as you can get. |

This is a great lens for closeup shots, with the Sony A200 DSLR. It's what I needed for better shooting. Attaches and comes off easily.
I bought this one, plus a 75-300mm telephoto lens. The camera came with an 18-70mm lens. I wanted to increase my lens, as needed, based upon the shot. So I guess the 500mm is the next thing. Yikes.. I'll have to wait awhile on that one though. I do a lot of nature pictures. Landscapes and animals.

| I read many user reviews and some "official" ones about the Sony 11-18mm lens, many of which were negative. Despite these reviews, I went ahead and bought the lens (through ). I have had it for a few weeks now, have taken several hundred pictures with it, and I really love the results. It produces sharp images in my opinion and the super wide angle pictures are awesome. To me, it is well built. Whoever is reading this review, stop reading it, stop reading "official" lens ratings and resolution test results on the Sony 11-18mm super wide angle zoom lens and go get one, and you will not be disappointed. Note: I have been a photo hobbyist since 1968 and have owned and used many 35mm cameras, developed my own slides etc. I went digital about 5 years ago and have no plans of going back to film. I have owned the Sony A100 DSLR for less than a year and love it. It has tons of features that I like and use. The Sony 11-18mm super wide is a great addition to my digital photographic system. |

| This combination macro and medium range telephoto has been used three times and produced excellent pictures. It's expensive in relation to the cost of a camera but, as professionals will tell you, you can get so much more out of a camera with a good lens that the kit lens can't deliver. There are a lot of lenses available so know what you want to do before you spend the big bucks for one. |
