Review: Outstanding image and build quality - I absolutely LOVE this lens, the quality of the photographs it takes and the build quality are excellent. Autofocus is fast, images are nice and sharp and the 18mm is wide enough for most situations This is my go to do it all lens. If you need one lens then this is it.
Review: Great everyday lens. - Searched online for the best everyday lens for the Sony a6700 and most recommendations were for this lens. I have found it to be a very small and lightweight lens ideally suited to carrying around and although it doesn’t have built in stabilisation it doesn’t really need it with this camera. It gives a good sharp image and I have been very happy with it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding image and build quality

I absolutely LOVE this lens, the quality of the photographs it takes and the build quality are excellent. Autofocus is fast, images are nice and sharp and the 18mm is wide enough for most situations This is my go to do it all lens. If you need one lens then this is it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great everyday lens.
*by L***Y on 3 March 2026*

Searched online for the best everyday lens for the Sony a6700 and most recommendations were for this lens. I have found it to be a very small and lightweight lens ideally suited to carrying around and although it doesn’t have built in stabilisation it doesn’t really need it with this camera. It gives a good sharp image and I have been very happy with it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than Sigma 17-40mm f/1.8
*by B***N on 23 February 2026*

f/2.8 is Enough: Pretty awesome lens, I know there's the new Sigma 17-40mm f/1.8 but in my honest opinion this lens still stands the test of time. The portability is just much better and doesn't weigh much. You really get a whole host of benefits and zoom ranges which at an aperture of F2.8 is still more than enough in my opinion. Sharpness & OSS: Sigma is known for making sharp lenses in the centre and the edges which still excels in. Image stabilisation is of course not ideal with no OSS, but if that's a feature you want then buy the Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 which uses VC (Vibration Compensation), not the best OSS but is much better than nothing at all and you get more zoom. Overall: The best lens is the one you actually use, and this lens definitely makes a great frequent companion for a whole host of scenarios, arguably and still is the best APSC lens you can buy. Worth every penny
