Pros

The a6000 is a delightfully compact and lightweight camera. Only other thing is that it is a bunker huge lens, my little sony a5000 looks like an end cap lol. I have an a6300 with a battery grip (which makes it look like a beast with this lens) this i... Read More

The versatility of this lens is what makes it so great. Had a lot of fun with this lens on vacation. Still experimenting there. Have to get used to the size and weight of the thing, but needles to say, i'm very happy.

The 18-105mm is exceptional! My only gripe is that it's f/4, but you can't really ask for better than that for the price. It is wire sharp at all focal lengths (equivalent 27 mm to 158 mm) the constant f/4 is nice as well. Google it to learn more abou... Read More

Price

Considering the price i would have expected better images

Shipping

Auto focus was fast enough for me no issues there but had to change from my multipoint to single point

Packaging/appearance

After switching over to an sony a6000 from my sony a65 i found that with the adapters for my lenses i did not get the same qual... Read More

Competitiveness

The lens outperform 24mp sensor even at corners wide open

I have been a sony a6000 user for a few years

Maybe a little front heavy on my a6000
