Sony 18-110mm f4 G Master Zoom Lens
£40.00Sony’s Super 35mm / APS-C format version of its FE 28-135mm F4 OSS lens. This version doesn’t have the the sluggish fly by wire zoom making it better for crash zooming when in manual. We do like that about this lens, however it is better suited for PXW FS7s over the full frame PXW FX9 because of its crop factor. This lens will work on PXW FX6 however only in HD mode, not 4K.
In short this is a great ob-doc standard lens but do check it is suitable for your choice of camera.
