Internal Focusing System

Lens elements at the rear of the optical system move, allowing rapid auto-focus response.

Circular Aperture

In low-light shots or nightscapes, out-of-focus light sources have a pleasing circular defocused effect.

ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass

ED Glass lenses minimize flare and greatly reduce chromatic aberration, giving you photos with sharper focus and more accurate color separation.

Aspherical Lens Elements

Aspherical elements correct frame distortion to provide more visually accurate super-wide-angle shots.

Advisory when using DT lenses with full-frame (35mm equivalent) DSLR cameras.

Sony α (alpha) lenses with the Digital Technology (DT) designation are ideal for use on APS-C size DSLR cameras and are not recommended for use with full frame DSLR camera bodies (such as the DSLR-A900). Although DT lenses can be used with full frame cameras, they can only realize a maximum of 11MP image size (when using the DSLR-A900)., and are not guaranteed to provide accurate Auto Exposure performance.

SAL1118 4.7 5 3 3
Great Lens for Many Uses I use this lens a lot, mostly for real estate/home interior shots. I purchased it specifically to get some great shots of a home theater that we submitted for an award, and have used it in nearly every home installation that we have done since. It has great color, and you never run out space to fit an entire room into a shot. I have dabbled a bit with portraits with this lens as well, and landscapes are great, but you have to be careful of the distortion that can occur with the wide angle. March 22, 2012
SAL-1118 11-18mm f4.5-5.6 Zoom Lens Using this lens with the alpha55 I was able to capture high quality images under both interior and exterior lighting conditions, Unlike the earlier reviewer, I did not experience any edge-related chromatic abberations. Most recommended. June 19, 2011
A GOOD VALUE IT HAS A LITTLE ABERRATION ON THE CORNERS, ITS LIGHT WHITH GOOD COLOR IN GENERAL SITUATIONS. MAY BE IN THE FUTURE SONY MADE AN OTHER ZEISS LENS. November 18, 2008
