Editor's take
A power-zoom APS-C lens covering an equivalent 27-158mm range at a constant f/4, popular with Sony vloggers and run-and-gun video shooters for its smooth, motorized zoom.
The SELP18105G is one of the most widely owned APS-C lenses in Sony's lineup, largely thanks to its power-zoom (PZ) motor, which makes smooth zooming during video possible without the jerkiness of a manual zoom ring. A constant f/4 aperture and built-in Optical SteadyShot round it out as a reliable everyday lens for both stills and video.
With nearly 3,000 reviews and a 4.6-star average, it's one of the best-proven lenses on this list. It's not the sharpest option in Sony's catalog, but its versatility and smooth video zoom keep it a favorite among content creators.
Pros
- Smooth motorized power zoom, ideal for video
- Versatile 27-158mm equivalent range
- Constant f/4 aperture with built-in OSS
Cons
- Not as sharp as prime lenses
- APS-C only
- Aperture ring not physically marked (power zoom design)
Ideal for: Vloggers and APS-C shooters who want smooth zoom control for video and a versatile everyday range.
