Get intimate views of your subjects from faraway distances. This 14X high magnification zoom lens is what you need for those dramatic perspectives.

Magnify your subjects with pinpoint accuracy and control. This long-telephoto Sony zoom lens provides high magnification and a broad 14X zooming range in compact, lightweight design that makes it easy to carry - and its 35mm-equivalent range of 27mm wide-angle to 375mm telephoto excels at capturing faraway objects, outdoor performances, complex scenery and crisp close-ups. It's an invaluable accessory to your Sony a(alpha) DSLR-A700 and A100 camera.

Internal Focusing System - Internal lens elements move, so the overall length does not change -- creating a lens that focuses more quickly and doesn't change balance.

Sophisticated Multi-Element Design - 16 lens elements in 13 groups correct visual aberrations across the entire zoom range and help reduce weight.

ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass - ED Glass lens elements minimize flare and greatly reduce chromatic aberration, giving you sharp, clear shots even at full telephoto extension.

Circular Aperture - Because aperture blades form a near circle at the wide openings used for low-light shots, spot-light sources have a pleasing circular defocused effect.

This will be a great means to combine my 18-70mm with my 75-300mm zoom. Many times I've had to frantically switch from one to the other- No more!

Comments about Sony 18-250 mm DT f/3.5-6.3 Zoom Lens (SAL-18250):

I hunted around for an upgrade to the stock lens that came w/ my A350 [18-70]. Needed an all around lens w/ better zooming. Didn't want to buy the other stock zoom lens & didn't want to spend a boat load of cash on a new lense, since I'm still new to the digital SLR.

It heavier than the stock lense, but with all the zooming capability -much worth it. Taking on vacation & didn't want to haul a ton of lenses with. Some of the other reviews talked of some creeping issues, but I haven't seen that. Have taken about 200 pictures since recieving the lense, and they are great. Makes me look like I know what I'm doing :)

Comments about Sony 18-250 mm DT f/3.5-6.3 Zoom Lens (SAL-18250):

This lens is a great single lens solution. I recently bought the alpha 350 and this lens. So far, the results have been outstanding. Fast focus, well buit and sharp. If you use the 350 built in 2x crop then this zoom will get you pretty close to prety much everything. The only thing to be careful of-with DR+ at the 250 end you need to set a -ve EV to catch highlights in greater detail. All in all a good all pupose walk around lens.

Comments about Sony 18-250 mm DT f/3.5-6.3 Zoom Lens (SAL-18250):

Good general lens for travelling and taking a single lens. Lens is compact and lightweight, but seems well constructed. Pictures shot so far are sharp and the lens focuses well. It is a little stiff when zooming, but may be as it is new. Barrel does not rotate when focusing, good when using a polarizing filter.
