For this camera I recommend the lens Tamron 16-300mm, f/3.5 -6.3 Di II PZD, Macro, Sony.
Camera and lens were in daily use for 3 weeks in South America - flawless image quality with flexible focal lengths!

Have fun taking pictures and thanks to rballschwil & erich06digi for the helpful answers.

Yes, that lens the Sony lens SAL-18250, DT 18 - 250mm, f/3.5 - 6.3 is compatible with this camera Sony A77 II. The DT lenses from Sony are specially produced for Sony cameras with the APS sensor, such as the A77 II. I myself have both the camera mentioned and this lens and can therefore confirm this. By the way, you can also use the full-frame lenses (A-mount), which were mainly produced for the Sony A99 or predecessor models, with your A77 II without any problems! Such as the Sony Zeiss lenses.
