Compact power-zoom lens for Sony E-mount
The Sony SELP18105G is a mid-range zoom covering 18-105 mm with a constant f/4 maximum aperture. It fits Sony NEX and other E-mount APS-C bodies, delivering a 27-158 mm equivalent field of view. Built-in Optical SteadyShot stabilization and a quiet power-zoom mechanism suit both stills and video work. The lens uses two extra-low dispersion and three aspherical elements in a 72 mm filter thread.
Suited to solo shooters needing one lens for wide
This lens serves creators who want a single, stabilised zoom for travel, events or documentary work without changing glass. The power zoom gives smooth focal-length transitions for video, while the constant f/4 aperture keeps exposure consistent across the range. Photographers who need wider than 18 mm, faster than f/4, or a longer reach than 105 mm should look at alternative optics. Full-frame shooters will see vignetting because the image circle covers APS-C only.
Constant f/4 aperture through the zoom range
The defining specification is the fixed f/4 maximum aperture from 18 mm to 105 mm, which maintains exposure and depth-of-field control while zooming. Variable-aperture zooms typically drop to f/5.6 at the long end, forcing ISO or shutter-speed compromises. This constant aperture, combined with power zoom and Optical SteadyShot, makes the lens a deliberate choice for run-and-gun video and consistent stills performance.

Questions about this item
Will the SELP18105G power-zoom work smoothly with my older Sony NEX-6 body?
Yes, the lens uses the Sony E mount for NEX and its built-in power zoom is controlled electronically by compatible NEX bodies, giving you smooth focal-length changes from 18 to 105 mm.
How can I verify that the Optical SteadyShot stabilisation is active after mounting the lens?
Half-press the shutter and watch the viewfinder or rear screen; a steady image at 105 mm handheld, plus the OSS icon on the display, confirms the stabiliser is working.
Does the box include a 72 mm protective filter or do I need to buy one separately?
The lens ships with front and rear caps and a petal hood; a 72 mm filter is not included and must be purchased separately.
