The Sony 18-55mm  f/3.5-5.6 lens features a 3x optical zoom and durable metal exterior, designed for portability with NEX-3, NEX-5 and NEX-7 camera models.

The 18-55mm focal length corresponds to a 27-82.5mm focal range in 35mm full frame, ideal for everyday still and video capture. The Optical SteadyShot image stabilization delivers crisp, stable captures in low-light or when zooming in on distant subjects. The quiet internal focusing produces a smooth, responsive AF with minimum noise which is ideal for video capture.
