Value for Money

With a price tag of around £700, many may expect better performance at maximum aperture than this lens delivers.

As an alternative, Sony NEX system camera owners may also consider Sony's A-mount 11-18mm, which costs around £400 and can be used with a NEX camera with the correct adapter. This route may only suit those who already own a selection of A-mount lenses to make the extra cost of the adapter, and extra bulk of the system as a result, worthwhile.
