If you're going with the Alpha 100, and looking for a good, all-in-one design, then look no further.
Built specifically for digital, this is the Konica-Minolta 18-200 lens repackaged for the Sony, which included a bit of restyling. Optically, this is a solid performer. It's not cutting edge technology, and won't hold up to the rigors of professional photojournalism, but it's small, lightweight, and give you a tremendous zoom range.
Even with the Alpha's anti-dust technology, it's still best to keep the dust out in the first place. There's no better way than to minimize the changing of lenses.
For other options, look at the Tamron 18-200 for Maxxum mount (which Sony has adopted as the Alpha mount). Yes, the two lenses do look VERY similar! If you're wanting more top-end range, look at the Tamron 28-300. This latter lens might be the best option if you've already picked up the Sony 18-70 with the kit.
If you're ordering it now, you won't need the "kit" 18-70 zoom, but make sure the body only configuration is available.
