Niekoniecznie niżej, mam wrażenie że nawet wyzej bo "snobistycznie" i gadżeciarsko. Wystarczy spojrzeć na wykonanie zwykłego kita 18-55OSS które stoi na bardzo modnym i wysokim jak na ciemny kit poziomie, albo E18-200OSS który jest też zbudowany i zaprojektowany inaczej niż powszechne tanie lustrzankowe ultrazoomy. Cytaty z recenzji na photozone.de:
The build quality of the Sony 18-200mm OSS is excellent. In a sea of cheap plastic extreme zoom lenses it really stands out with its stylish metal body and everything is tightly assembled.The Sony E 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS is a refreshingly different approach compared to most of the competition. It's not a purposely under-designed lens for cost-cutting measurements. This is most obvious with respect to its build quality - the stylish metal body clearly stands out from the rest of the crowd and it's a joy to handle it in the field despite the somewhat unusual/odd proportions compared to the tiny NEX camera. The optical quality is on a very decent level.
