The camera model "A100K" is a Kit including both the A100 body and the stock Sony 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6DT lens. You've found a misprint.

This is a different lens than the kit lens that comes with the camera at a much lower price. Unfortunately, I don't know the answer as to what makes this lens worth 3 times as much.

Hi, Here is a good review from Ken Rockwell. This Nikon 18-300mm VR is a smaller, lighter version of the original 18-300mm VR. The original 18-300 was very good, so good in fact that I sold an image I made with it to McDonald's - and they are using it on a billboard. This new lens is as good, and is smaller, lighter and less expensive, so it's even better! My only real complaint about the original 18-300 was that it weighed a lot more than my camera, and this new 18-300 weighs ten ounces less! This new 18-300mm also offers Vibration Reduction (4 stops) and instant manual-focus override. It's very slightly slower at the 300mm end (f/6.3 versus f/5.6) than the older lens, and for ten ounces off my shoulder, that's nothing. By taking off 10 ounces, I now can carry this new lens everywhere I never bothered with the old 18-300. This new lens do everything, and it even does macro. At 300mm, it focuses to within just inches of the front of the lens.

This lens is compatible, and there is no difference in operation or in pictures. The original 10-30 lens was kicked and damaged, and it would cost more to repair than a new 11-27.5 lens. The new one is more compact but without VR.

By the way, in case this gets cross-posted elsewhere, the lens I'm referring to is the "Sony VCL-DH1758 Tele Conversion Lens". Thanks again!

Hello Donald, I bought the SONY Version, you would have to write the lens description and at the end write for Nikon.

I'm starting to think Sony has something to do with this. It is my understanding that Sony owns a piece of Tamron, and Tamron makes some lenses for Sony (55-200 and 18-250). It may be that Sony does not want this lens to compete with it's 70-300 G since the Tamron is nearly half the price. I was looking for this lens to replace the 70-300G, after two bad copies I got rid of it, it's not worth $800.

There are two versions. One is for Micro 4/3 and the other for Sony. Neither requires an adapter and works well with auto focus and aperture. Excellent lens for the price.

What do you mean? Are you asking what comes with this lens(brand new), or are you asking what comes with this lens(the one I am selling)?

Yes. The lens was in its original packaging from Canon. I purchased the same item 2 months ago.

Yes it does. It is a brand new lens, and as such, comes with everything a new lens would come with.

Hi, the lens is Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 14-42mm 1:3.5-5.6 II R. Anyway, I've tried both and seems like there's no difference at all. I recommend that after you bought this camera, buy other lens to use instead of this one.

If I seen correctly on sony web page your lens has thread 55mm. This lens has 52 and adapter for 49. It is on face of your lens.

Well I may be muddling the water but I just called Sony and asked this question. The Lady I talked to said they still ship this lens without the new firmware and when purchased you must send it back to get the update. Doesn't make sense but its the only answer I could get.

I bought from Amazon, but a 3rd party seller, 17th Street Studio. My lens arrived in perfect new condition, and was packaged very well. Also, this lens is awesome!!

No there is no quality difference. Only serial number difference, i.e. it contains serial specific to a certain country. Sony will not cover warranty within USA. You can buy a third party warranty in case you need it. I never buy lenses within USA. The same lens usually is 25% cheaper from Japan or Hong Kong and those sellers provide free third party warranty. Unless you do not handle your lenses with tender care, there is no sense to buy lenses in the USA just for the sake warranty. The professional Lenses are made to last for years. But, I never buy camera which manufacturer will not cover under warranty within USA. You may have higher chances of needing a warranty repair for a Camera. No there is no quality difference.
