One of the worst kit lenses at all - we do not begin to do justice to the quality of Sony DSLM-Cameras

Size:
The lens acts only at first glance compact. Once you turn on the camera, moves out a tube and the size is doubled. Some complain about this, I think it's ok. Because one can convey the off camera better.

Optical quality:
No matter JPGs out of the cam, or by DxO developed RAW files, the picture quality is just underground. So do not get me wrong: Whoever has been photographed with a Compact Camera or a super zoom Monster small image sensor, will be quite pleased with the pictures. But who seriously engaged in photography and knows what can make a reasonable body with a neat lens, will be very disappointed.

The deficiencies which were noted to me in detail:
- In WW grotesque distortion that even DxO can not totally eliminate (photo zone has measured an 8% distortion, which seems to me realistic)
- Dull, poor color images with little contrast
- Focus is already modest in the middle and falls off rapidly towards the edge
- Tendency to CA's
- Evil Bokeh

Conclusion:
Of all the kit lenses that I have so far in the hands had heard this about one of the worst ever. The DSLM-Cameras from Sony are among the excellent mirrorless system cameras on the market. With such a kit lens but you can see the qualities eg. A a6000 not use rudimentary. I behaupt that a very good compact like the RX100 with reasonable permanently installed lens delivers significantly better pictures, as eg. A really superior A6000 in combination with this lens.
