## Overview

The Sony SELP18105G is a high-performance E-mount zoom lens featuring a constant F4 aperture, advanced optical design with ED and aspherical elements, and Optical SteadyShot stabilization. Its silent power zoom and internal focusing make it perfect for both sharp stills and smooth video, all packed in a compact, lightweight build favored by professional and enthusiast photographers alike.

## Description

True to its high-end G Lens heritage, the SELP18105G lens features two ED glass elements and three aspherical elements for high resolution and contrast throughout the entire zoom range. The first Sony G Lens created specifically for E-mount cameras is true to its heritage, achieving outstanding resolution and contrast throughout the zoom range thanks to an advanced optical design incorporating two ED glass elements and three aspherical elements. From wide angle to medium telephoto, this power zoom lens covers approximately a 6x zoom range with a constant F4 aperture. When changing your aperture to defocus the background, the light sources appear blurred. This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background can be enhanced with circular aperture blades used in this lens. Conventional aperture blades have flat sides creating unappealing polygonal shaped defocussed points of light. α lenses overcome this problem through a unique design that keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops. Smoother, more natural defocusing can be obtained as a result. As focal lengths get longer, lenses built with conventional optical glass have difficulties with chromatic aberration, and as a result images suffer from lower contrast, lower color quality, and lower resolution. ED glass dramatically reduces chromatic aberration at telephoto ranges, and provides superior contrast across the entire image, even at large aperture settings. Super ED glass provides enhanced compensation for chromatic aberration. Aspherical lens design dramatically reduces spherical aberration while also reducing lens size and weight. Spherical aberration is a slight misalignment of the light rays projected on the image plane. This is caused by differences in refraction at different points on conventional spherical lenses which degrade image quality in large-aperture lenses. Specially shaped “aspherical” elements near the diaphragm restore alignment of light rays at the image plane, maintaining high sharpness and contrast even at maximum aperture and can also be used at other points in the optical path to reduce distortion. Well-designed aspherical elements can reduce the total number of elements required in the lens, thus reducing overall size and weight. Advanced Aspherical (AA) elements are an evolved variant, featuring an extremely high thickness ratio between the center and periphery. AA elements are exceedingly difficult to produce, relying on the most advanced molding technology to consistently and precisely achieve the required shape and surface accuracy, resulting in significantly improved image accuracy and quality. Gyro sensors built into the lens detect even the slightest movement, and the stabilization lens is precisely shifted to counteract any image blur that might occur. The use of precision, quiet linear motors and technology inherited from high-end Sony professional camcorders results in exceptionally quiet, effective image stabilization that contributes to high-quality movies as well as stills. Only the middle groups of the optical system move to achieve focus, so the overall length of the lens does not change. Other important benefits include fast autofocusing and a short minimum focusing distance. Also, the filter thread at the front of the lens does not rotate, which is convenient if you’re using a polarizing filter. 2013 Sony Electronics All rights reserved.

Review: This lens on my Nex-6 rivals my A7 with A Sony prime ... - I wanted to use my Nex-6 as a backup to my Sony A7 with a variety of Sony A-mount lenses used through the LA-EA4. I am very pleased with the IQ of the A7. I thought this 18-105mm f4 would be a good lens to put on the Nex-6 and have a fall back camera in my street photography. The shots I got when I received this lens simply amazed me ... and I am used to full frame and good glass. They were clear, crisp and the auto focus was fast. I was a little spooked to read certain forums and reviews about this lens having pillow distortion. It seems it is tru only on cameras that do not internally correct for the lens. I am happy to report my Nex-6 has virtually no such distortion. I was also hesitant due to some forum users reporting it was a video lens and somehow fell short in still photography. That it absolutely not true. I am also a videographer and have used Sony pro video cameras and lensing for years. These camcorders all had the Sony G lenses, and they are of remarkable optical quality in my experience. This 18-105mm f4 Sony G lens is probably at the top of the image quality ladder of all the lenses I have used in both still photography and videography. And that's exceptional because zooms usually do not have the IQ (image quality) that primes have. The zoom ring is smooth and predictable. The feel and build of the lens feels pro level to me. The sharpness and general color accuracy is good. I say generally because I did not take the time to look for things such as fringing on the edges, etc. I'm not trying to be superficial here, but I even like the way this thing looks on a small Nex-6. The lens barrel is relatively thin then progresses up in diameter as you go away from the camera. And on the business end of the lens is a wide, beautiful lens element. My years have taught me that, optical paths and other technological factors equal, there is no substitute for a large piece of glass for the main element. Bigger diameter glass gathers more light and resolves more detail. That's why even though this is an f4, it seems like a fairly bright lens when shooting. Simply put, his thing rocks. I'm going to try it on my E-mount Sony A7 and see if there are apertures where the vignetting (the 18-105mm is made for the smaller APS sensor) is reduced or nonexistent. I cannot imagine the image quality that combo would yield. Though the Nex-6 is a great camera, it simply cannot compete one on one with the A7 full frame and good glass ... Or so I thought. Now, unless I was going to blow up photos to large format afterward, I would equally trust this lens on the Nex-6 and the A7 with a prime. The full frame 100mm f2.8 Sony lens on the A7, on the other hand ... being an exceptional prime ... Might barely surpass this lens on the Nex-6. Overall this was a very good purchase. Very pleased.
Review: Good value lens - comparison of Sony lenses - SELP18105G: This lens is a good value for the features and cost. For $600, the lens has f-4 max aperture, standard OSS optical stabilization, 6x zoom (27-157mm 35mm equivalent), internal focusing (lens length remains constant for easier handling), power zoom (smoother focusing for videos and can be controlled by the free PlayMemories app), and good weight of 15.1oz ( 2x less light). Its about the same size as the SELP18105G, but weighs 18.5oz (3.4oz more). This lens does not have internal focusing or power zoom, but does have a relatively better stabilization that Sony dubbed Active OSS. SEL18200le: This lens has the same featues as the SEL18200 lens, but costs $100 less because it only has the regular OSS, not the Active OSS. Due to that fact, it weighs in at 16.3oz and is 1cm shorter and 1cm smaller diameter than the SELP18105G. The issue with this lens is that critics noted it's basically a rebranded Tamron 18-200mm lens, so you are paying a premium just for the Sony name. SELP18200: This lens is like combining the SELP18105 and SEL18200 lenses because it has the internal focusing and power zoom (indicated by the "P" in the model #), while providing 200mm zoom and Active OSS. See the above descriptions for benefits of these features. However, you are paying $1100 for this lens. SEL55210: If you have the kit lens (SEL1650 or SEL1855) and are on a budget, then this lens is the best option for you since it's only $300. However, you will have to swap lenses whenever you cross the 50mm zoom boundary, which may cause dust to settle on your image sensor. Also, it does not have internal focusing or power zoom, but does have regular OSS. SEL1670Z: This lens is Sony's premium lens with Carl Zeiss (indicated by the "Z" in the model #) AR-coated optics and f-4 max aperture, but costs $1000. But it has relatively weak zoom (24-105mm 35mm equivalent), and some reviews noted focusing issues. It has internal focusing and regular OSS, but no power zoom. For $1000, the lens should not have focusing problems, and the zoom needs to be stronger (at least 6x). Comparing Sony's E-mount APS-C lenses, this lens (SELP18105G) is the best value for the price. I tested this lens on my Sony NEX-6 camera.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does the image quality compare with the SEL18200 18-200mm lens (not the LE version)? Can you notice the difference?**
A: The 18-105 is definitely the sharper lens. In my opinion, even at F4 throughout the entire range, you get amazing results. The 18-200, like most zooms, you have to really stop it down some to get the best results and the telephoto ends tends to get soft focus. It's a good all-in-one but definitely can notice the difference in performance and image quality especially in lower light situations.

**Q: Does this lens cover a Full Frame sensor such as in the VG-900?**
A: The VG900 accepts both E-mount APS-C sensor lenses & A-mount Full Frame lenses, plus more.

**Q: I can't seem to get eye auto-focus to work with this lens. Any suggestions?**
A: Would recommend that you look at the YouTube video “How to Master Sony’s Video Autofocus - Part 2” by Philip Bloom.
This explains in full what setting affect eye autofocus. Quite a complicated interaction.

**Q: is this a E mount and can it be used on a NEX 6?**
A: Yes, the Sony SELP18105G lens has an E-mount.  I have been using it on my Sony NEX-5R for about a month.  All NEX cameras have an E-mount connection so there should be no problem putting it on a Sony NEX-6.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value lens - comparison of Sony lenses
*by T***T on July 3, 2014*

SELP18105G: This lens is a good value for the features and cost. For $600, the lens has f-4 max aperture, standard OSS optical stabilization, 6x zoom (27-157mm 35mm equivalent), internal focusing (lens length remains constant for easier handling), power zoom (smoother focusing for videos and can be controlled by the free PlayMemories app), and good weight of 15.1oz (< 1 lb). Yes, there is mild chromatic aberration and distortion, but both of these can be compensated. The chromatic aberration is not always noticeable (depends on the scenery), and is virtually gone by reducing the aperture to f-5.0. The distortion only shows up in RAW images, and any decent photo editing software can correct it with one click. SEL18200: This lens costs $250 more, but has 2x more zoom than the SELP18105G, but 1.3 higher f-stop at max zoom (smaller aperture, > 2x less light). Its about the same size as the SELP18105G, but weighs 18.5oz (3.4oz more). This lens does not have internal focusing or power zoom, but does have a relatively better stabilization that Sony dubbed Active OSS.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well worth it
*by S***O on November 14, 2016*

This lens is phenomenal. Like most of you, i was torn between this and the Zeiss. I already owned the 18-200mm so I was used to the size, however I was expecting this one to be slightly smaller. It's not. They're almost identical in size. That was surprising. this one is definitely sharper. I rarely go over 105mm anyways so this lens is a "better" lens for me and probably for most people. In fact, if you're one of the few who's torn between this and the 18-200mm, my recommendation is buy this lens and with the money you'll save, buy the 55-210mm for those rare moments. I also own that one and have been very impressed with the results out of a $300 lens. I have GAS. Gear Acquisition Syndrome. I found a great deal on that 55-210 so I jumped on it, especially after noticing a smudge on my 18-200 that I can't get to come off. It may be due for retirement. Something about this lens that I didn't know about until after I started using it, the zoom is as smooth as butter. Definitely helps with videos. I HATED using the 16-50mm kit lens for videos. The zoom was rough and shaky. However this one is so smooth, I love using the zoom. Definitely helps make videos look more professional. Especially since I can keep the F4 across the range. If you do a lot of video, I can't think of a better e-mount lens (under $2000). The lens feels strong and sturdy. Made of great quality, and these G lenses are highly rated. You can't go wrong with this one. For a point of reference, i'm using it on my a6300.
