Would this be a better choice for landscape than the 12mm Zeiss prime?

If you compare the Measurements > Sharpness > Field Map plots at DxOMark.com, you can see that at f/8, the Sony SEL1018 zoom, when set to the 12mm FL, is actually sharper at the center of the frame than the Carl Zeiss Distagon Touit 12mm prime when it's at f/8. The two lenses are comparable in sharpness elsewhere in the frame at f/8 (12mm FL). At f/4, the Carl Zeiss 12mm prime is a little sharper at the center of the frame than the Sony zoom at 12mm FL and f/4, but the Zeiss is softer in the corners of the frame!

Can I use this len in my Sony Alpha 3000 (ILCE3000)?, I want to buy it but if this doesnt work on my camera i dont waste my money.

Ignore the replies from G.Dudgeon, S.Erickson, and E.Daniels. The ILCE-3000 is an E-mount camera body, so yes, this lens will work perfectly with it because it is E-mount. And it is a great lens.

What does "The angle of view will be narrower down to that of APS-C size" mean? This is on the A6000 lens compat page.

Hi E40, Due to the crop factor, it will be multiplied to 1.5x. The angle of view of the 10-18mm lens will be equivalent to 15-27mm if mounted on your camera. -Anthony

Does this lens work with sony ILCE-QX1 model? I'm not sure if I can make use 100% feature of this lens with the ILCE-QX1 or not.

Hi PHU N., your Sony Alpha ILCE-QX1 is an E-mouth body type camera in which it is compatible with any Sony E-mouth lens such as this SEL1018. -Ely
