If money isn't really an issue then definitely get the SEL3518.

Why no built in EVF? The NEX-6 can manage to squeeze in a hi-res EVF in about the same body size. Good to see the tilting screen though.

It comes with a hood. And since when did Canon and Nikon any 50/1.8 lenses for mirrorless APS-C cameras?

SEL2418 + SEL5018 = $1396 SEL3518 + Sigma 60/2.8 = $687 Also 75mm vs 90mm between the Sony and Sigma is enough to be a pretty significant difference IMO.

"Sony has 50/1.8 OSS, far better combination with speed and stabilization. This effective FL, especially as slow as f/2.8, does not make sense without stabilization. If you are going to shoot in...

The SEL3518 and Sigma 60/2.8 make a better match than a SEL3518 and SEL5018 IMO.

Glad to see more choice, but where's the FF sensor?

I wish it were f/1.4 instead of f/1.8. It's hard to justify this over the SEL3518 which has OSS and probably less than half the price.

So in other words it automatically corrects it for you just as OP stated? Thank you for repeating what he said :)

Think about it for a second. Who will buy this e-mount 18-35/1.8 besides a select few enthusiasts on this forum? They would be losing money if they made an e-mount version. Or they'll probably have...

Well there's not much else FF shooters can complain about ;)

So what? The lens has nothing to do with this forum. Sounds like you just have a bit of Fuji envy or just trying to justify your purchases.

Thank you for taking your time to share that with us.

This lens is like having a 18/1.8, 23/1.8 and 33/1.8 (28, 35, 50) all in 1 lens without having to carry 3 different primes and swapping them.

I'm guessing RRP will be at least $2000?

Too bad they didn't include IS. Still, this lens will be a low light machine for Sony/Pentax users. I'm guessing RRP will be at least $2000?

4mm.

Nice. I hope it's a PZ and half the size of the current lens.

Misleading statement. My NEX is very compact compared to my a77 and seeing as they both have the same sensors.
