SEL18200 OSS At Full Extension
Would you rather have the 18-55 OSS or the 18-200 OSS?
Thanks monza!
I am interested in the NEX-5 with 18-200mm lens but I didn't realize that, unlike Sony's Alpha series 18-200mm lens, the SEL18200 is extends in length as you zoom in. That's a very poor design; how is a person supposed to balance a tiny camera when there's 10 inches of lens hanging out in front of it? Boo. I think I'll keep my Leica.
