The latest data point for the Sony "pancake" lens. If this

That's very disappointing. The NEX 18-55mm is also crap.

You just have to hope that the NEX 18-200mm is better, otherwise what
is the point?

I'd be surprised if it were any good. If you can't design and build a
simple pancake lens, what hope do you have for a complex zoom?


Despite all this, the NEX cameras and lenses appear to be selling
well.
