    Good for its price, don't expect crazy quality especially in low light conditions due to the small aperture, but overall I was satisfied mainly because of the flexibility of having a relatively small-sized lens for the zoom it offers. The build quality is good although I would have liked it to be weather sealed.

    A very good lens to have with you every day. Sharp enough from f4, lightweight, silent, perfect stabilizer, small and fast. I permanently have it on an a6400 (the kit 16-50 became useless) and I am very satisfied. The only negative is its price. Not that it's not worth the money, but it could be cheaper.

    Very good lens. I have had it for 1.5 years on an a6000. Sharp (especially in the center), small and lightweight for its range. Perfect for a traveler or someone who wants an all-around lens. It has been very useful for my trips and is a big upgrade compared to the kit lens.
    I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it is a bit pricey, like all Sony lenses, and because it has some vignetting, which can be easily fixed either in post-processing or by the camera if shooting in JPEG.
