About the Sony E 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS

Sony’s stabilized APS-C kit zoom (SEL1855), announced in May 2010 as one of the first E-mount lenses and sold with NEX cameras. It fits all Sony E-mount bodies; the A-mount DT 18-55mm is a different lens and is excluded. Check that autofocus and Optical SteadyShot work.

What affects the price

  • Fungus (web-like threads), haze or separation inside the glass. Shine a flashlight through the lens to check.
  • Oily or sticky aperture blades, and a smooth, even focus ring.
  • Scratches on the front element and cleaning marks. Light dust is normal and barely affects price.
  • Front and rear caps, the hood and the original box add a little; the mount matters most for who can use it.
