yep price about that range regarless of silver or black.... its a good travel lens not big and if you dont require very high IQ this is sufice I guess... so far the lens looks ok some barrel distortion at shortest focal but nothing cant be corrected in body or LR.

hehe i know what you mean
sadly I dont have a very good native e-mount lens that I can bring to travel other than my legacy lenses dont want to change lens very often while on the go. Also dont want to get the 18-200 E-mount lens not really shooting at tele more on wide and mid range so 18-55 is ok with me will bring one or two primes for some special events while in the holiday trip. But my aim is travel light and enjoy the vacation last year I have two bodies A77 and A33 plus Tokina 11-16, 16-80, 50f1.4, 85f2.8 and a 58AM flash plus tripod I almost died carrying my back pack I didn't enjoy that family vacation.

10-18 buy buy buy
People often mention 1:1 or "life-size" as being the desired standard of a "macro" lens. So what kinda pic do you get when you manage to find a bug that'll let you get close enough for a 1:1 shot?
Just for fun . . .
(NEX-7, LA-EA1, and Tamron 60mm f/2, ISO 800, f/11, shot in RAW, NR & USM applied post-conversion, 100% crop)
AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! :faint:
Even when you back off to 1:2, your focal plane still won't have much more than paper-thin depth . . .
(Same as above, except for f/10)
You can stop down further; but unless you're nuking the critter you'll probably have to increase ISO as I did in order to get enough shutter speed. Stopping way down and shooting at high ISO sucks out more details; so you have to figure out for yourself at what point the diminished IQ offsets proximity to the subject. Shooting handheld at this magnification compounds things, as the slightest body movement--even your pulse--can throw your focus off.
Which reminds me: the NEX-7 has almost no shutter lag, which is a huge plus when one is shooting close-ups while manually stopping down. BUT...when you add the LA-EA1, the auto-aperture makes a noticeable difference, just enough to give those involuntary muscles in your body time to throw your focus off.
1:1 is great for really tiny critters that sit still in good light (if you can find any). But for me, it's not a necessary criterion for a good close-up lens.
