E 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 OSS LE overview

The Sony E 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 OSS LE is an 18–200mm f/3.5–6.3 zoom for APS-C cameras on Sony E-mount, announced by Sony in May 2012. 11 cameras we track take it without an adapter.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits wildlife and sport as well as travel. It is a weaker pick for rain and dust.

New, it sells for $848 in the United States (Precision Camera). Over the last 90 days it has usually cost $739 to $848 new. It launched at $850.

Worth comparing it with the Sony E PZ 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 OSS, Sony E 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 OSS and Sony E PZ 18-105mm F4 G OSS.
