Sony E 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 OSS SEL18135
The lens for APS-C cameras covers the entire focal length range between 18 and 135 millimeters and features the optical image stabilization "Optical SteadyShot". With its dimensions of 67.2 x 88 millimeters and a weight of only 325 grams, the lens is extremely compact and light compared to other lenses with similar focal lengths. The 7.5x optical zoom makes it a real all-rounder. The focal length range from 18 to 135 mm for APS-C corresponds to 27 to 202.5 mm in full format. The lens is ideal for α, α and α because of its compact form and is the ideal partner for almost all shooting situations - from daily life and portrait photography to landscape, nature and travel photography, everything is possible. To make the lens so compact, Sony has chosen a modern design with aspheric glass and two extra-low dispersion (ED) lenses to minimize imaging errors. In addition, the sharpness over the entire focal length range up to the edge of the image is excellent. Interesting for macro fans: Thanks to the maximum magnification of 0.29 times and the minimum focus distance of 45 centimeters, close-ups with beautiful bokeh or blur effects in the background are easily possible. The integrated optical image stabilisation allows you to take pictures from the hand and without a tripod, even in difficult lighting situations. The linear motor is fast, precise and quiet, providing a solid, reliable autofocus. This makes the lens the perfect partner for Sony's mirrorless cameras - especially for high-speed or video recording.

For me it ticks every box for a vacation lens - medium zoom, sharp and not too slow if the light is good. If you need travel video, it still works well but maybe pony up the extra $50 and get the slightly shorter range 18-105. Manual zooming is no fun for video.

This is a very good lens for the size and price. Stopped down it is consistently sharp throughout its very useful zoom range and the color and contrast are respectable. The focusing speed is acceptable. The size is excellent. With an A6xxx camera it makes a very small and useful travel kit that takes solid pictures in good light. You do need to understand its limitations though. It is a small aperture super zoom. You shouldn't expect decent performance in low light and when possible if you are trying to maximize IQ you ought to try to stop down some. I am a full frame shooter who typically uses some very high end optics. I won't pretend that this matches those sets up but it makes for a really good one lens vacation setup for times when I cannot carry much gear and ...

After dropping my thousand dollar Sony Zeiss 16-70 mm lens and shaking something loose, I decided that it was more cost-effective to buy the Sony 18-135 mm e-mount lens than to try to repair the Zeiss. The major disadvantage of the 18-135 lens is that the maximum aperture size is one stop smaller than for the Zeiss at longer focal lengths. (The minimum f-stops for the 18-135 lens at focal lengths of 18, 24, 35, 50, 70, 100, and 135 mm are 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 4.5, 5.6, and 5.6 respectively.). Also the body of the 18-135 feels as if it has a lesser build quality (but of course its cost is 45% less).To test the image quality I compared the 18-135 to the Sony 35 mm prime lens by shooting a test target. Set at 35 mm, the 18-135 was about as sharp as the prime lens in the ...

Set at 35 mm, the 18-135 was about as sharp as the prime lens in the center at all aperture settings from f/4.5 through f/16, but the corners were less sharp from f/4.5-f/8. The sharpness of the 18-135 zoomed to 70 mm was about the same as at 135 mm, but less than at 35 mm. At 35 mm, 70 mm, and 135 mm maximum sharpness was at aperture settings of f/5.6-f/8. I thought that sharpness was good for a zoom lens, although slightly less than I experienced with the Zeiss. I measured line-to-line resolution at the test target (positioned to take up the whole image) to be 225 lines/inch.At 18 mm f/3.5 the extreme corners of the image are black, apparently from the lens body. The black corners appear even without a filter mounted. They are almost all gone at f/8. This problem doesn’t occur at 35 mm with maximum aperture of f/4.5. This is a design defect that did not occur with the Sony Zeiss 16-70 lens at 16 mm and with maximum aperture (f/4).I consider this lens to be an economical alternative to the more expensive Zeiss lens, without too much sacrifice of sharpness. We lose a little on the maximum aperture, but gain significantly with the greater maximum focal length.Note on the accessory bundle: The filters supplied come in a box that describes on the back the professional multicoated filters. The filters on the Lens Essentials Filter Kit don't appear to have antireflective coatings (visual comparison made vs. Pro Optic MC-UV). For back-lit subjects or night photography with strong light sources in the frame you may need to purchase better filters or use no filters at all.

I'm a hobbyist photographer. I've been using Sony E-mounts for about 10 years (NEX-6, a6000, a6600). This lens blows away the old 16-50 kit lens they used to include with a new E-mount camera. I took only this lens and my a6600 on a work trip to California. I wanted to see if it could be used as my only lens for street, architecture and nature photography. The image quality was excellent (I was constantly pixel peeping after each photo or burst of photos).Will this replace your best prime lenses? Probably not. Is this an excellent all around travel lens? Totally. I'll no longer have anxiety about which lens(es) to bring when I have limited space in my luggage.
I give this lens 5 stars, not because it is the sharpest or brightest lens available, but because it suits its purpose as well as any lens I have ever used. That is, a good general-purpose walk-around lens for casual photography. I use it mostly for traveling and casual shots of family and other people and locations. It is actually very sharp, corner to corner, for a lens in this category - not as sharp as the Sony 16-55 f2.8, and not as bright. But it is noticeably smaller and lighter, easier to carry around. And its equivalent focal range of 27-200mm means I never have to change lenses. Oh, by the way, it also has image stabilization. For any photography in good light, it is excellent. And I think that is what it was designed for, so 5 stars.
I bought this nearly a year ago for a holiday of a lifetime when I didn't want to be changing lenses. I missed the wide end of my Sony 16-70 a little, but since most scenics were shot at around 20mm it wasn't a problem. I also appreciated the 135mm long end. This lens spends most of its time on my camera body as it is used more than other lenses and if I am going out I will often take the camera with this attached rather than risk missing a shot. The image quality is very acceptable.
I decided to get this lens as an addition to the 16-50mm lens included with my A6400.I find this lens an excellent 'walkaround' lens and only swap to another for specific reasons.I have taken sharply focussed photographs, being able to zoom very quickly. The size and light weight mean that it feels superb when attached as the camera feels well balanced and I have good grip.I did look at several reviews before buying and I almost bought the 18-105mm but the 18-135mm has that extra reach which suits my needs better and I don't feel I'll miss the PZ feature.I have not noticed a loss of focus while zooming. All controls feel smooth and there's no play / backlash.This lens feels really solidly built and that gives me confidence to maintain it's use as my first ...

I owned the 18-105 before this as my primary travel lens. I liked the images and videos it took, but was always a bit annoyed at how heavy and bulky it felt and, as a result, brought it out and about with me less and less.With half a trip under my belt, I can say confidently that the 18-135 is much preferred. Although the physical appearance of the 18-135 didn’t feel wildly different from the 18-105 when I first compared the two lens’ sizes, in practice the 18-135 is much easier to carry around. The length is just the right size for it to go into my Tenba BYOB 7 (mounted on my 6300, facing down, and with a 4/10-18 tucked next to it) and I don’t feel the weight of it the same way I did with the 18-105.

(As a side note, my first travel kit was with the kit 16-50 and 55-210, mostly because they fit into the BYOB 7, but this newer combo is much better for the urban travel / photography I tend towards.)Oh, and the images are quite nice as well - sharp in center, more than good enough for my purposes elsewhere. (At the very least, I won’t be blaming any quality issues on anything other than my skills:)The only annoying thing is that I have an older non-subscription version of Adobe Lightroom, and it isn’t updated with a profile for this lens. That’s an issue with Adobe, though, and not the lens. Guess I’ll have to change the software I use, as this lens isn’t going back!
I've been using digital cameras for almost 20 years. I went from a variety of early point and shoot to a Nikon D40 to some of the early Sony Mirrorless cameras (NEX-5N and NEX-5R). When my 5R was stolen last year, I went through multiple cameras trying to find one I liked - I tried a Panasonic GX85 (loved the outside pictures, really struggled to take good pics indoors), a FujiFilm XT-20 and then X-T30 (loved the colors, but indoor pictures never appeared to be properly in focus). After I wasn't satisfied with any of those, I really considered just going back to a point and shoot. However, based on some recommendations on DPReview, I tried the Sony a6400. This is by far the best camera I have ever owned. The AF system on it is unbelievable. Pictures look great in ... MoreI've been using digital cameras for almost 20 years.

This is by far the best camera I have ever owned. The AF system on it is unbelievable. Pictures look great in any lighting I have tried so far. I love the lenses I have for it (Sony 18-135mm, Sigma 30mm 1.4, and Sigma 19mm 2.8). The menu system is a little hard to figure out; however I purchased an amazing tutorial by Michael the Maven which has helped. The only downside is I wish it had IBIS, but with a fast lens like the Sigma 1.4 lenses, it still takes great pics in lower light at higher shutter speeds. Fantastic camera!
This lens fits a good roll. If you have the 16-50mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens, and the 55-210 zoom, but often find yourself switching at that middle ground, this is a good replacement for both imo. I would ditch both of those lenses and then take this, and the 70-350 at f4.All and all this lens is really great for walking around outside, or travel. It isn’t too big, but enough zoom to get most of the shots. It’s only about 1/2 inch longer than my sigma 30mm f1.4.I took it to a kids museum for a birthday party, it was a little dark for the lens to shine, but it’s definitely a lens that has a spot in your bag, especially for a newer shooter or if you were restricted on what you could carry.
