Sony E Pz 18 105Mm F4 G Oss

[1.205 lb] This case fits my Sony FX30 camera with 18-105mm PZ lens attached perfectly. I still have room for a few spare batteries and a few other accessories too. Like with all Portabrace products, this case is extremely well made and will sure to last a very long time, and it's made in the USA, you just can't beat that.

[0.2 lb] I picked up a Sony PZ 18-105 F4 and needed a UV protector for an upcoming trip. The UV filter was perfectly clear. My photos from the National Cathedral and other places on the trip came out fine no matter what range I was on with the lens.

[Yes] I used to have - and not like - the E-PZ 18-105mm f/4 lens for my FX-30. While it’s great to have constant f/4 and a motorized zoom, its downfall is the absolutely giant minimum focus distance at higher zoom. No such problem with the E 18-135, it can focus super close at any zoom. The variable aperture is no issue as the depth of focus at higher zoom is super shallow anyhow. And then you get the range up to 135mm! If they had a motorized zoom version of this it would be perfect.

[0.98" / 25 mm] Works great, I was able to balance a Sony FS5 with the 18-105mm.

[f/4] Let me say that I have most Sony APSC lenses, so I can honestly compare most of them along with the Sigma Contemporary Prime lenses, My copy of this lens is nothing short of superb. It does not have softness in the corner and is comparable to the Sony E 16-55 2.8 lens that costs about $300 more. Every lens meets a specific need and as long as you use it in the way it was design you will have few complaints. This lens covers a full frame equivalent of 24-105mm and has Optical Steady Shot. Images out of it are definitely better than those out of the E 18-105 PZ OSS and E 18-135 OSS. The main advantage it has though is that it goes from 16-70 and is significantly smaller. Now for the elephant in the room, how does it compare to the E 16-55/2.8? I would say that in most situations you will be hard pressed to tell the difference, but the 2.8 is a bigger, faster lens with better image quality on a stabilized body like my a6600 or a6500. The problem with the 2.8 is that it is bigger and more noticeable. I have mistakenly brought big camera lenses to places where I wanted to photograph my granddaughter and drawn way too much attention to myself. This lens is small enough where that will not happen. It is also a joy to vary because it is so light. If you get a good copy of this lens as I did, you will never regret having it.

[110°] Upgraded my kit from Sony Nex-7 and a6500 to the marvelous a7iii.  For UW had been shooting the aps-c format Sony 10-18 f4 and Samyang 12mm f2.  For the a7iii first I tried a Tokina Firin MF.  It was decentered.  Replacement Firin was better, yet corners were unacceptably blurred at all apertures.  Ordered a Zeiss Batis 18, but cancelled as I really wanted faster aperture for auroras.  Received the Laowa shortly before 4th journey to Iceland.  Travelled with three lenses, the Laowa, a Batis 40mm CF, and a Sony 24-105 f4 G.  Could have done the entire trip with just the Laowa.  Images are superb, even wide open and out to edges.  center cropping, when needed, remained sharp.  Manual focus with a mechanical ring is an asset when shooting night skies.  Infinity on my sample came out just shy of mid point of infinity emblem, same as reported in many reviews.  To minimize coma at f/2 its written that focus should be just a smidge short of infinity, which I endeavored to do.  Was prepared to shoot panoramas but with moving clouds, flowing water and waves, and shifting aurora shafts single exposures worked best.  Nevertheless, the Laowa is my first lens with location of entrance pupil is marked on outside of barrel, and when installed on my PocketPano this facilitates adjustment.  So I am delighted with the Laowa, dont mind lack of electronic EXIF data, and believe I had the best (also smallest and lightest) rig of all with whom I traveled.

[77° to 15°] Sony 18-105 f4 G Master Lens Using the A6000 I based my purchase from the YouTube posts one JaySonyAlphaLab �posted 6-29-14 I shoot Artist Openings at Gallery’s in and around New York City. �Wanted something Better than the kit lens , the price tag along with using the Godox mini flash 350 �, �with all its warts ,nothing perfect watch Jays clip I use Aperture �Priority and shoot at f8 . for sharpest photos. �So far so good to soon to tell.

[f/2] I have Sony 18-105/f4 and ZV-E10, and they work well together. Then I need a f1.8-2.8 zoom lens. I checked Sony, Sigma and Tamron, and decided to buy a ZV-1. It meets my expectation. Yes, it has a 1 sensor, just as many professional camcorders have. ZV-1 takes good video, and it is not just for begginers. You pay half price to get all the new features of Sony's new cameras, if you don't care about viewfinder. For vlogging, ZV-1 is good enough. Someone said that Sony made ZV-E10 to sell more their lenses. It has some true in it.

[f/4] Feels more like a F4 G-master. Traded my 24-105 F4 OSS for the extra wide angle and slight weight advantage. Was surprised to find out how sharp a zoom in this range can be. Steady shot feature is not missed at all. Very happy with my purchase decision. I must mention that my first copy had a noise issue during large focus change which could not be tolerated for video shoots. This copy is totally quiet.

[3.1 lb] Bought this to fit a Lumix S1 with a 24-105mm F4 lens - fits perfectly - well built - I like it - also had help from the B&H tech, he set one up prior to my purchase to be sure it would fit my arrangement - I am very happy with the purchase.
