The Sony E 10-18mm F4 OSS Wide-Angle Zoom Lens is a versatile lens designed for Sony E-mount cameras, offering an impressive 109° angle of view, a minimum focal length of 10mm, and advanced optical stabilization for crisp, detailed images. With a maximum aperture of f/4 and a minimum of f/22, this lens is perfect for capturing stunning landscapes and dynamic scenes.

## Description

Product Description               Super wide-angle zoom lenses are ideal for taking photos of sweeping landscapes and producing striking images with emphasized perspective. For mid- to high-level users who seek a wider minimum focal length than offered by standard wideangle zoom lenses, the SEL-1018 is the ideal choice. NOTE:"35 mm equivalent focal length (APS-C)" and "Angle of View (APS-C)" are with interchangeable lens digital camera incorporating APS-C type image sensors. This super wide-angle zoom lens is perfect for taking photos of sweeping landscapes and producing striking images with emphasized perspective. Features incluse a constant maximum aperture of F4 and built-in Optical SteadyShot (OSS) image stabilization. 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. The distance encoder plays an integral part in ADI flash metering, which delivers high precision flash metering that is unaffected by the reflectance of subjects or backgrounds. The distance encoder is a lens component that directly detects the position of the focusing mechanism, and sends a signal to the CPU in order to measure distance to the subject. During flash photography, this data is very useful in calculating how much flash output is appropriate to the scene. 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. 2012 Sony Electronics All rights reserved.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this be a better choice for landscape than the 12mm Zeiss prime?**
A: If you compare the Measurements > Sharpness > Field Map plots at DxOMark.com, you can see that at f/8, the Sony SEL1018 zoom, when set to the 12mm FL, is actually sharper at the center of the frame than the Carl Zeiss Distagon Touit 12mm prime when it's at f/8.  The two lenses are comparable in sharpness elsewhere in the frame at f/8 (12mm FL).  At f/4, the Carl Zeiss 12mm prime is a little sharper at the center of the frame than the Sony zoom at 12mm FL and f/4, but the Zeiss is softer in the corners of the frame!

**Q: Can I use this len in my Sony Alpha 3000 (ILCE3000)?, I want to buy it but if this doesnt work on my camera i dont waste my money.**
A: Ignore the replies from G.Dudgeon,  S.Erickson, and E.Daniels.   The ILCE-3000 is an E-mount camera body, so yes, this lens will work perfectly with it because it is E-mount.   And it is a great lens.

**Q: What does "The angle of view will be narrower down to that of APS-C size" mean?  This is on the A6000 lens compat page.**
A: Hi E40, Due to the crop factor, it will be multiplied to 1.5x. The angle of view of the 10-18mm lens will be equivalent to 15-27mm if mounted on your camera. -Anthony

**Q: Does this lens work with sony ILCE-QX1 model? I'm not sure if I can make use 100% feature of this lens with the ILCE-QX1 or not.**
A: Hi PHU N., your Sony Alpha  ILCE-QX1  is an E-mouth body type camera in which it is compatible with any Sony E-mouth lens such as this SEL1018. -Ely

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comparison test with Sony 16mm plus Ultrawide converter
*by D***Y on December 17, 2012*

Sony seems to have a well thought-out product strategy for their NEX series bodies, which are proving to be a big hit. But their lens strategy appears to be confusing. There is not a simple lens roadmap, but a mixture of lenses from different sources, some possibly designed inhouse by Sony, some with the Zeiss name (and inflated price premium for that name), and other lenses which appear to be made for Sony by specialty designers - producers. Most Sony NEX camera owners are not aware that Sony also makes a line of high end professional video cameras with the same sensor and e-mount lenses, which explains this in part. As a result Zeiss makes industrial quality cinema lenses in e-mount; $5k for the fixed focal lengths and $21K for the zooms. I bet those are cool.But for the consumer NEX cameras, we see a scattered, overlapped offering in their list of ultra-wide e-mount lenses. The first kit lens offered by Sony was a compact 16mm f2.8. Then Sony offered an Ultrawide converter attachment for this (VDL-ECU1) which has an effective focal length about 12.5mm. These two, when attached together, are actually quite good optically, for a total price about 300 bucks if you got the 16 in a kit. In addition, there is the Fisheye Converter (ECL-ECF1) in the same series which has a 180° field (distorted) for just 129 more dollars.Recently Sony came out with the 10-18 mm zoom, f4, with image stabilization, but quite expensive at $850; a completely different approach which almost certainly is designed and made by different people.Having all of these at hand, I performed a direct image quality comparison. To compare the 10-18mm zoom to the 16mm, I set both to f4. When I added the Ultrawide I matched the field of view by setting the zoom to 12.5mm. I didn't bother to compare the Fisheye to the 10-18 mm zoom because the latter cannot match its field of view.These were all JPEGs, not RAW. It is important to understand that modern lenses like both these Sony's are no longer just hunks of glass; they are designed to be used with the in-camera JPEG processing firmware, which undoes the inherent distortions found in most wide angle lenses, along with vignetting and chromatic aberration. For lens design, it is no longer so necessary to depend on the difficult correction of glass elements with additional glass elements, aspherics, etc., as has been the tradition for more than a hundred years. Lenses are now part software, and the manufacturers are all adopting this approach. The digital image processing can be observed directly on both these lenses when one is looking at the LCD image and then fires the shot - you'll watch as the replay image comes up, with the whole field visibly altered by software distortion correction. For this reason it would require a lot of skill and Photoshop time to do the same thing manually starting from the RAW images. The downside for users is that lenses can no longer be used on non-Sony cameras, even in manual mode with a mount adapter, because they will look terrible. But it's now a fact of life; JPEG's are the way these lenses are designed to be used, so that's how they should be evaluated.A summary of my tests of the image quality from the 10-18mm zoom vs. the 16mm (including the converter) is that they are roughly comparable. If one is very picky and studies the finest details, the 16mm has a bit more chromatic aberration but overall may be just slightly nicer than the zoom. Surprisingly, the 16mm+Ultrawide converter images are very good. To look at performance in the corners, I made extra shots which focussed in the far corner because the field of wide angle lenses is not flat. This showed that, at f4, the 10-18 zoom is superior to the 16 in the corners, but it was a moderate difference. If stopped down to f8, the difference is less.Which should you buy? Photographers on a budget should consider the "pancake" 16 mm plus the Ultrawide converter. Of course it's inconvenient to attach the converter if you are in a hurry, but the availability of the Fisheye is also a big plus and can't be matched by the 10-18 zoom. The 16 with two converters taken together constitute a rather brilliant and cost effective set and I don't know why Sony promotes them so little.The 10-18mm zoom is a fine lens and superior to the 16mm but only moderately so. It costs three times as much as the 16+converter and is physically much larger. However, it's more convenient and quicker; having a zoom allows one to frame shots and optimize the sensor area. Also image stabilization, unusual on an ultra-wide, more than offsets the one-stop smaller aperture, permitting slower shutter speeds, and is very much worth having.The 16 and 10-18 lenses are completely different designs - size, cost, convenience, operational quickness - but image quality is actually in roughly the same ballpark. If you can't decide, I recommend the 16mm plus the two converters. I put my NEX in movie mode with the Fisheye attached and walked around a party we were having, stopping for conversations and capturing the whole feel of the event - fantastic footage which would be difficult to record any other way.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great wide angle zoom lens for the NEX system
*by R***I on August 11, 2013*

I use this lens on a NEX-6 and it's a great compromise between size and performance. I haven't used the lens with flash, but a lot for landscape and street shots and I love the lens. It delivers great JPEGs with build in camera correction showing nice colors and saturation. RAW shooting with the lens is giving all post post processing advantages, but also shows CAs and distortion, easy correctable. Auto focus is fast and the focal length 10-18mm, which is about 15-27mm compared to FF, is my preferred landscape range. Most parts are not metal, but that reduces weight and the lens doesn't feed cheap. I have used the lens a lot for hikes and outdoor activities during the last 6 month with high humidity and high temperature and so far it worked flawless.++ sharp center and good corners wide open, corners improve stepping down to F5.6++ fast reliable AF++ supports DMF (direct manual focus to change focus manually with focus ring after AF)++ good build quality++ has a focus and a zoom ring for manual use++ good lens hood included++ not heavy- focus by wire limitations for long exposures (no end position for infinite focus, which makes it hard to focus using long exposure time)- a little bit high pricesI compared this lens with the Tokina Pro DX 11-16 on a Sony A65 and overall I love this lens for it's compactness on the NEX-6 even if doesn't fit into a pocket, but it's a great and lightweight set for traveling and outdoor activities with a small backpack.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Lens
*by P***L on February 13, 2025*

I love this lens! I am using it on a Sony a6000 mirrorless SLR. The 10 mm wide-angle perspective creates some wonderful images. The other end of its focal length, 18 mm, picks up where my standard 18 to 55 mm lens leaves off. This is the most distortion-free wide angle I have owned. It is not inexpensive, but it is worth every penny. Indeed, I lost one on a vacation and promptly bought another. I have had a little trouble attaching and removing the lens shade, but it is my own fault for getting some sand in the mount. The sand is long gone, but it roughed up the mounting surfaces slightly.
