I'm using this compact zoom for a dedicated camera for providing telemedicine to my patients. Paired with a Sony NEX 7. It has a just right range of focal lengths. The power zoom makes it easy to reach up to the tripod for framing the view. Clear high quality video conferencing.

Not so durable they will break if you drop and fixing cost as much as replacing so be careful with this lens. It is a good overall lens for the Sony e-mount Sony Alpha NEX‑3N 16.1 MP Mirrorless Digital camera but not recommended on the High end full frame such as a 7s Sony,

If money is an issue, and you mainly shoot "snapshots" or need a pocket type of system for that easy to go to, the best camera I have is the that I have with me, then this is a good little lens. Folds into your axxx and will fit in a large pocket or a small side bag. RAW images need a lot more correction, where the JPEGS are corrected in camera. Food vacation type of lens to have.

This lens has a short tube length making the camera relatively compact without sacrificing lower f-stops. There are better lenses, but not for the money. This makes a great landscape lens, providing some relatively wide angles.

You ask if it is durable - I've only had it a few weeks and so far it hasn't broken although I haven't hardly used it yet. It's too early to say if it's durable. Then you asked if the image is sharp - it's a kit lens and like all kit lens, it is not as sharp as a premium lens would be but it is acceptably sharp for my use at present. It is a good value as far as price goes. I would recommend it to for what it is, a kit lens.
