Some of you may wonder how complete the database behind this site is. At the moment there exist 63 properties for cameras and 62 properties for lenses. And of these 62 lens properties 20 are complete for all 91 (current) lenses. With cameras the database is more sparse. There only 12 properties are complete for all 41 (current) cameras. But this will change. Hard work is done to gather all the missing information and enter it into the database.

| Sony E 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 OSS LE | Tamron 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III VC |
In May 2012 Sony announced its latest E mount lens, the Sony E 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 OSS LE. This lens is now the third 18-200mm lens for the E mount in 1.5 years. The other two lenses are the Sony E 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 OSS (announced 05/2010) and the Tamron 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III VC (announced 12/2011). However, looking at the properties of the lens it seems that Sony’s latest lens is just a rebranded version of the Tamron lens. Because when comparing the technical data of both lenses there are too many similarities. Not only are they identical in their key aspects, like focal length and aperture, but also in every other detail with the exception of their appearance.
Lets’s look at this table:
| Name | Sony E 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 OSS LE | Tamron 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III VC |
|---|---|---|
| Focal length | 18 – 200 mm | 18 – 200 mm |
| Focal length [35mm] | 27 – 300 mm | 27 – 300 mm |
| Max Aperture | F 3.5 – 6.3 | F 3.5 – 6.3 |
| Weight | 460 g | 460 g |
| Diameter | 68 mm | 68 mm |
| Length | 96.7 mm | 96.7 mm |
| Filter size | 62 mm | 62 mm |
| Lens Construction (elements and groups) | 17 – 13 | 17 – 13 |
| Construction |  |  |

Here it’s clearly visible that Sony’s new lens is identical in all properties with the Tamron lens. But this rebranding is not so strange, because both companies have a special relationship with each other. Sony owns 11% of Tamron.
Furthermore there are some people stating that compared to the new Sony LE/Tamron lens the old Sony 18 – 200 mm has better stabilisation and is better suited for video. (another link)

This site is intended to be a information resource about mirrorless cameras and lenses. Its goal is it to offer all technical details of mirrorless cameras and lenses from different manufacturers in one central place. It aims to provide the technical information as well as links to previews, reviews, articles, sample images, etc. to help the users in comparing between cameras and lenses between the different mirrorless systems. As it is currently still under development some database fields may be empty. However hard work is being done to enter a missing data into the database and to provide powerful reports, which help the users to find the information they are seeking.
Currently the site’s database contains all cameras and lenses of the following systems:
