SONY SAL-1118 DT 11-18 mm f/4.5-5.6 Wide-Angle Zoom Lens

This is a wide angle lens, so the good points are that it gives you the ability to capture more of what's in front of you. The angle of view at it's widest is about 100 degrees (on an APS-C camera). It's really good lens for holidays, scenery,...

Can't use this lens with the camera's built in flash, it's so wide angle that you capture the shadow of the lens created by the flash! It's not the fastest lens (F4.5), to use indoors in low light or at night you'll need an add on flash

Very good image quality. This and the SAL18-70 are probably the best choice of lenses for this camera
