The Sony E 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 OSS LE is a variable maximum aperture superzoom lens for the Sony E-mount, released by Sony on May 17, 2012. The lens was designed to better accommodate users of Sony's E-mount mirrorless cameras in weight and size. [1]

Build quality

The lens features an all-plastic construction with rubber focus and zoom rings. The barrel of the lens telescopes outward from the main lens body as it's zoomed in from 18mm to 200mm. To combat zoom creep, the lens features a small zoom lock switch on the main lens barrel.

Optics

The lens features an entirely new optical formula.[ citation needed ] The Tamron 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III VC is "nearly identical". [2]

Compared to its predecessor (the Sony E 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 OSS), this lens is softer and suffers from greater chromatic aberration. [2] However, distortion has been reduced in the new design. [2]

Originally produced as Konica Minolta AF Zoom DT 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 (D) by Konica Minolta in 2005, and currently produced by Sony, the Sony α DT 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 (SAL-18200) is compatible with cameras using the Minolta A-mount and Sony A-mount lens mounts. The DT designation means this lens is designed to be used with a camera with an APS-C size sensor. When the 1.5× crop factor is considered, the lens has an effective equivalent 27–300mm focal length. The lens is derived from the Tamron AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di II LD Aspherical [IF] (models A14M/A14S).
