It features a constant f/4 aperture, advanced optical image stabilization, and a minimum focus distance of 0.25m, enabling sharp, stable shots from sweeping landscapes to close-up details. With premium aspherical and ED glass elements, plus circular aperture blades for smooth bokeh, this lightweight lens balances professional image quality with portability, ideal for travel, street, and landscape photographers seeking creative flexibility. ## Description Super wide-angle zoom lenses are ideal for taking photos of sweeping landscapes and producing striking images with emphasized perspective. For mid- to high-level users who seek a wider minimum focal length than offered by standard wideangle zoom lenses, the SEL-1018 is the ideal choice. NOTE:"35 mm equivalent focal length (APS-C)" and "Angle of View (APS-C)" are with interchangeable lens digital camera incorporating APS-C type image sensors. This super wide-angle zoom lens is perfect for taking photos of sweeping landscapes and producing striking images with emphasized perspective. Features incluse a constant maximum aperture of F4 and built-in Optical SteadyShot (OSS) image stabilization. When changing your aperture to defocus the background, the light sources appear blurred. This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background can be enhanced with circular aperture blades used in this lens. Conventional aperture blades have flat sides creating unappealing polygonal shaped defocussed points of light. α lenses overcome this problem through a unique design that keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops. Smoother, more natural defocusing can be obtained as a result. As focal lengths get longer, lenses built with conventional optical glass have difficulties with chromatic aberration, and as a result images suffer from lower contrast, lower color quality, and lower resolution. ED glass dramatically reduces chromatic aberration at telephoto ranges, and provides superior contrast across the entire image, even at large aperture settings. Super ED glass provides enhanced compensation for chromatic aberration. Aspherical lens design dramatically reduces spherical aberration while also reducing lens size and weight. Spherical aberration is a slight misalignment of the light rays projected on the image plane. This is caused by differences in refraction at different points on conventional spherical lenses which degrade image quality in large-aperture lenses. Specially shaped “aspherical” elements near the diaphragm restore alignment of light rays at the image plane, maintaining high sharpness and contrast even at maximum aperture and can also be used at other points in the optical path to reduce distortion. Well-designed aspherical elements can reduce the total number of elements required in the lens, thus reducing overall size and weight. Advanced Aspherical (AA) elements are an evolved variant, featuring an extremely high thickness ratio between the center and periphery. AA elements are exceedingly difficult to produce, relying on the most advanced molding technology to consistently and precisely achieve the required shape and surface accuracy, resulting in significantly improved image accuracy and quality. The distance encoder plays an integral part in ADI flash metering, which delivers high precision flash metering that is unaffected by the reflectance of subjects or backgrounds. The distance encoder is a lens component that directly detects the position of the focusing mechanism, and sends a signal to the CPU in order to measure distance to the subject. During flash photography, this data is very useful in calculating how much flash output is appropriate to the scene. Gyro sensors built into the lens detect even the slightest movement, and the stabilization lens is precisely shifted to counteract any image blur that might occur. The use of precision, quiet linear motors and technology inherited from high-end Sony professional camcorders results in exceptionally quiet, effective image stabilization that contributes to high-quality movies as well as stills. Only the middle groups of the optical system move to achieve focus, so the overall length of the lens does not change. Other important benefits include fast autofocusing and a short minimum focusing distance. Also, the filter thread at the front of the lens does not rotate, which is convenient if you’re using a polarizing filter. 2012 Sony Electronics All rights reserved.

The two lenses are comparable in sharpness elsewhere in the frame at f/8 (12mm FL). At f/4, the Carl Zeiss 12mm prime is a little sharper at the center of the frame than the Sony zoom at 12mm FL and f/4, but the Zeiss is softer in the corners of the frame! Have a look at some of the other measurements plotted at these links:https://www.dxomark.com/Lenses/Sony/Sony-E-10-18mm-F4-mounted-on-Sony-A6000---Measurements__942https://www.dxomark.com/Lenses/Carl-Zeiss/Zeiss-Carl-Zeiss-Distagon-Touit-28-12-Sony-E-mounted-on-Sony-A6000---Measurements__942 **Q: Can I use this len in my Sony Alpha 3000 (ILCE3000)?, I want to buy it but if this doesnt work on my camera i dont waste my money.** A: Ignore the replies from G.Dudgeon, S.Erickson, and E.Daniels. The ILCE-3000 is an E-mount camera body, so yes, this lens will work perfectly with it because it is E-mount. And it is a great lens. **Q: What does "The angle of view will be narrower down to that of APS-C size" mean? This is on the A6000 lens compat page.** A: Hi E40, Due to the crop factor, it will be multiplied to 1.5x. The angle of view of the 10-18mm lens will be equivalent to 15-27mm if mounted on your camera. -Anthony **Q: Does this lens work with sony ILCE-QX1 model? I'm not sure if I can make use 100% feature of this lens with the ILCE-QX1 or not.** A: Hi PHU N., your Sony Alpha ILCE-QX1 is an E-mouth body type camera in which it is compatible with any Sony E-mouth lens such as this SEL1018. -Ely ## Frequently Bought Together - Sony - E 10-18mm F4 OSS Wide-Angle Zoom Lens (SEL1018),Black - SMALLRIG ZV-E10 Cage with Silicone Handle and Built-in Threaded Holes, Cold Shoe and Quick Release Plate for Sony ZV-E10 - Sony Alpha ZV-E10 - APS-C Interchangeable Lens Mirrorless Vlog Camera - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/1611829-sel-1018](https://www.desertcart.in/products/1611829-sel-1018) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
