Sony E PZ 10-20mm F4 G APS-C Constant-Aperture Power Zoom G Lens

I've been using the 10-18mm lens for all my real estate photography, but have never been absolutely happy with it. It's good enough for real estate, but I could see it wasn't the sharpest. This new 10-20mm lens is obviously superior in sharpness. The fact that it goes to 20mm (about 35mm equivalent full frame) it makes it more useful for exterior shots. In short, I really really like this lens for my real estate photography.

All in one lens. I'm a beginner and this is great for me!

FAST FACTS:PROS: Small, well made, sharp, smooth zoom, little purple fringing, customizable controls.CONS: No image stabilization.DETAILED REVIEW:Sony's Power Zoom 10-20 is a lovely lens with sharp images, a small size, excellent controls, and a great build quality.Truth be told, I accidentally ordered this lens not knowing it was lacking image stabilization (I saw a deal and bought it too quickly). Once this lens arrived, I also ordered the 10-18 too so I could compare them. I hoped that the optical performance would be similar enough between the two that I could send back the 10-20 and keep the 10-18 for the image stabilization, however that was not the case.Comparing both lenses on my a6100 body, with both at 10mm and f/4, the 10-20 was the clear winner. While sharpness in the center was similar between the two, in the corners the 10-20 was much sharper. It also exhibited less purple fringing. I will miss the image stabilizer but high ISO on the a6100 is great, so I can deal with raising ISO when need be. Keep in mind, I am only comparing two samples and sharpness can vary from lens to lens.One thing that will not vary between samples is handling and the 10-20 just works better. The zoom mechanism is motorized but it is very smooth and able to move in fine increments. There is a slider and a barrel ring to choose from for zooming. Also the 10-20 has a customizable button and AF/MF switch, which the 10-18 does not. The barrel on the 10-20 does not extend, and the 10-18 is at the long end when the lens is retracted, so I have to remember to extend the lens for the widest view - which feels counterintuitive. Lastly, while the 10-20 is made of plastic, it feels rugged and robust and the slighter smaller size balances on the a6100 nicely.All in all... sharp, small, nice handling.

After returning my first lens of this model when the price dropped $100 the day after purchase, it was packaged with zero bubble wrap to prevent it from dinging around the box. Thanks for nothing!!

I use this lens for real estate photography and landscape hobby work. I have no complaints. For the price, paired with my Sony A6300 crop, I’m good til I upgrade my DSLR.

Using this for indoor real estate photography. Works well even on full frame A7 cameras.

Thankfully the lens seems to be OK but Amazon has done this before so I will never buy expensive fragile items from them again. 5 stars for the lens, zero stars for Amazon's packing.
