Sony 10-18mm f/4

The Sony E 10-18mm f/4 OSS is a compact, super-wide zoom designed for APS-C E-mount cameras, delivering a highly useful angle of view equivalent to roughly 15-27mm on full-frame. With a constant f/4 maximum aperture across the zoom range, this lens provides predictable exposure and consistent performance in varied lighting. Optical SteadyShot stabilization helps maintain sharp handheld shots at slower shutter speeds, while the lens’s lightweight construction (approximately 225g) makes it ideal for travel and field work. Optical design choices including aspherical elements control aberrations and maintain good edge-to-edge sharpness for landscapes and architecture. The internal focus mechanism keeps the lens physically compact during use, and a 62mm filter thread enables common accessory use. Close focusing down to about 0.25m gives added creativity for foreground detail in wide compositions. Overall, the SEL-1018 balances excellent portability with strong wide-angle imaging performance, making it a popular choice for landscape shooters, travel photographers, and anyone who needs an affordable, high-quality ultra-wide solution for APS-C mirrorless cameras.
