I'm struggling to get sharp or well exposed images with the Sony 18-200 lens and my Sony A7ii, someone said it isn't compatible to the A7ii body other than it's e-mount?
I find the images very soft on max focal length.
Any ideas?

Hi GP and welcome.
I presume this is your lens :

This is a APS-C lens designed for E-Mount cameras with the smaller (and cheaper) APS=C sensor. When used with your full-frame sensor in your A7ii it will only use a small part of the sensor - only about 10,000 of the 24,000 pixels.
Even when shooting in Crop Mode (APS-C mode from the shooting menu), quality will suffer. Because of the crop factor, image noise will increase by a factor of 2.25X..A bit like buying a Ferrari and only using third gear!

Hi @PhotoGP, welcome to the Community.
I'm surprised to hear you are able to use an e-mount lens on your A7ii, can you describe the set up, ie, which adaptor you are using?
Thanks
Mick
