Mid-range zoom
DT 18–55mm F3.5–5.6 SAM SAL1855
If you’re the kind of photo enthusiast who likes to carry a camera at all times,
whether actively shooting or not, you probably want one small, lightweight
lens that won’t be a burden while walking around but will deliver top quality
and versatility when a photographic opportunity arises. The SAL1855 is the
smallest and lightest zoom in this series, weighing in at only 210 grams while
offering an 18–55mm focal length range that will cover most day-to-day
subjects. It also features a minimum focusing distance of just 25 centimeters
that, combined with 0.34x maximum magnification, will let you get close
and explore details. If you want to be prepared for a wider range of subjects
the SAL1855 is the perfect companion for the SAL55200-2, the pair providing
excellent optical performance from 18mm to 200mm.

High magnification zoom
DT 18–200mm F3.5–6.3 SAL1820 0
It will take you from a wide scene-spanning 18mm to far-reaching
200mm telephoto that will let you zoom in on distant subjects, yet the
SAL18200 weighs only 405 grams and is no larger than many zooms
of more limited range. For these reasons it is an excellent choice for
photographers who want to cover as many situations as possible
without having to change lenses. In addition to being an outstanding
one-lens solution, it features a refined optical design that ensures
excellent sharpness and contrast throughout the image at all focal
lengths, so you can shoot with confidence in any situation that arises.
