      Would you say you feel like this lens is "dull" with its focus? Like it's sharp but never mind blowing sharp? Watching your videos then looking at my own photos feels like mine are softer than everything I see here. I have sony a6100 and 18-105 but I need that crispness

    • @SigfridSWE

      Tja, grym video! Tack!
      Fråga: jag ska gå PCT nästa år (gå från Mexiko till Kanada). Jag väljer mellan A6600 och A7C kameran och linser S18-105 f4G OSS eller till A7C S FE 24-105 f4G OSS...
      En kamera en lins på resan. Vilket hade du valt?
      A7C med den inre stabiliteten + den där OSS linsen när båda stabiliseringsfunktionerna jobbar tillsammans ska va väldigt bra.
      Men, 24-105... där är 24 lite nära för vlogging... funkar... Men 18 är bättre för den andra linsen i det syftet...

    It's hard to believe that I still didn't find any lens with constant or fixed aperture that provides that much of a focal length range. This lens may be more than six years old now, but boy this is my all time favourite lens. Once I've seen any brand come up with similar product like this Sony lens, I definitely wouldn't bother selling it.

  • @dankofilmscz
    @dankofilmscz 4 роки тому +5

    That was my first lens I bought for a6000. Than I had to buy Sony 35mm 1.8 oss and Sony 50mm 1.8oss for low light. Now I have everything what I need to make very good video, and I have to say, when I shoot wedding, 18-105 saves me at many situations when I cant get closer with that primes. So just simply take second a6000 with 18-105 ready on. And I know I can keep calm with that lens :)))

    Is it better to buy a Sony 18-105 lens or a Tamron 28-200 for the alpha6000? I know that the tamron has a bigger "shot" but I wonder which one takes better photos at the focal lengths I use most often, around 16-28 and 50-100. I also have a kit for the sony 16-50 and 55-210. I would like to have one lens for everything :)

    Hi. I have a little loose sound that you can hear if you tilt the lens up and down, its like something is loose inside that makes a little sound... It is only like this when the camera is turned off. When its on there is no sound at all.. Could it be the OSS mecanism that is like this or is the lens might broken? It does work excellent in both movie and photos. Do you have the same thing on your lens?

      I acctually have, but I dropped it so hard once. On the pavement, thought it was smashed. But it was totally okay exept for that loose noise started then. But it's deffinitly they OSS or the autofocus because as soon as it's powered on it's off.

    One Lens to rule them all
    I used this lend when I was at a winter ski competition, of which the skiers forced me to use my 70-350m due of how far away they where.
    And suddely i needed something for 30-60-100m when they reach the goal.
