I got my Nex-7 around 3 month ago without any E lens. Few days ago I bought at my friendly dealer used the Sony 18-200mm lens for a good price.

Today I have taken few shots at our garden center while my wife was buying some flowers for her garden.

Of course not a macro lens but suitable for shorter distances too. For better quality click on the image.

Powerful pictures! I think rather photographer than gear, congrats!

Great serie Rolf, very colorful, and this lens seems indeed not bad at all!

Yes, seems to be a good lens indeed.
It's just way too expensive for my taste. Wink

I bought this one used (approx. 1 year old like new incl. one year warranty) at my dear dealer for little bit more than 50 % of list price. For this price I decided to buy it.

Thanks for your comments. I'm very happy with this lens.

Below for the files 3 other samples. # 1 and #2 are at 65mm (around 100mm at FF), #3 at 200mm (around 300mm at FF) all wide open at the respective focal lenght (f/5,6 and f/6.3)

Came out nicely Rolf! And I agree with Atilla, it is more who is behind the gear than teh gear itself Wink

Usually I'm totally sticked to primes but this is the best superzoom lens I've ever seen.
Against all rules it seems to be a lot better than the "only 3x" 18-55 kit zoom.

I'm not wondering about it's high price. I think it's worth the money.
