  • Good walk-around/vacation lens
Style: Lens Only
Initial Review January 1, 2022 This is an APS-C E Mount lens for Sony cameras. I already had the popular Sony 18-105 lens but was looking for something smaller for travel or general walk-around. I purchased this 18-135 and spent a few weeks comparing the two. Much has been written about these two lenses. It isn't easy picking one over the other. In my estimation they are equally sharp so that wasn't a factor. Sony 18-105 advantages and disadvantages. - Advantage: Power zoom for those who shoot video - Advantage: Constant f/4 - Disadvantage: Size and Weight In my opinion if you don't care about size and weight the 18-105 would be the best choice. Sony 18-135 Advantages and Disadvantages - Advantage longer reach. The 135 over 105 really isn't much different so not a factor for me. - Advantage Smaller and Lighter. As travel and walk around is the main use for me this was a deciding factor. - Disadvantage: f/3.5-5.6. For me, a photo shooter, this really isn't too much of a disadvantage. Zoomed to 18mm the f/3.5 aperture is actually better than the 18-105. Zoom out a little and it is at f/4.0 so equal to the 18-105. Zoom out more and it gets worse than the 18-105. Only if I shoot in a darker environment will the f5.6 be an issue. For bright environments this isn't an issue. So on balance, in my case, I choose to keep this 18-135 and I sold the 18-105. Your conclusion may be different. They really are quite similar. I recommend this lens ... show more

  • Professional reviewers are right, this is a great lens
Style: Lens Only
I bought this for my Sony a6400 camera which I bought with the kit 16-50 mm Sony lens. From a picture-taking point of view, this lens is more versatile, easier to use, and takes equal or better pictures. Versatile: It can capture closer/bigger images in macro mode and the zoom range offers just that extra nudge that I wanted. I’ve been mainly using it for hiking, where I’m using it to capture small flowers, critters, landscapes and a fossil or two. Easier: This lens doesn’t need to power open like my 16-50 lens does when I turn the camera on making it quieter (and lighter on the battery) to use. The zoom and focus rings feel great in my hand and the switch to put the lens in manual focus is convenient. Cons: This lens is heavier and more obtrusive than the 16-50. It’s not a big deal in my pack but the heft is noticeable when I hike with the camera on my neck. Additionally, I feel the weight when shooting. By obtrusive, I mean that the size makes some people/subjects uneasy — there’s no mistaking that they are the subject of the image. The 16-50 is more discrete. That said, the silent and instantaneous power up does let me quietly raise the camera when I see a shot. I am happy to have both lenses. This one for when I’m all about taking pictures. Though it’s my go-to for now, I’ll probably use the 16-50 for travel, parties, and when I’m out with others hoping to get a few snapshots. ... show more

  • The do it all lens
Style: Lens Only
Underrated lens. Being able to go from 18mm, 30mm, 50mm, 100mm, 135mm, without ANY quality loss for this price range is amazing. It works for EVERYTHING as long as you don't mind not having the bokeh that prime lens have. The OIS will make up for not being f2.8 and below by keeping you steady. You want landscape? Use 16mm. Do you want to take a portrait of the stranger next to the landscape? Turn it up to 50mm. Oh, what's that? A colorful bird on the tree in the distance? You'll get to 135mm faster than you can blink. The speed you're able to zoom in with this lens is amazing. Sure, it'll be challenging to shoot 135mm f5.6 in low light but you would know better than to do that with a non-prime and no tripod. PS: attached images were at 135mm but cropped for subject isolation. If you combine 135mm with an A6XXX's clearzoom, you can effectively turn this lens into a detail beast. ... show more

  • Perfect every day lens
Style: Lens Only
This lens is a perfect match for my Sony EV-10. Wish would have been an option with the kit. It does not have the power zoom feature, but otherwise is perfect. Shipper did an excellent job with description and how they rated the product. Could not be happier. The item was shipped right away and I had it sooner than expected.. ... show more

  • Worth Every Penny! Best Versatile Lens. Perfect For Travel!
Style: Lens Only
I was a little hesitant to purchase this lens because of the negative reviews but please look past them if you are a novice photographer or someone who enjoys taking photos as a hobby like I do. Unless if photography pays your bills, this lens is perfect. It really is versatile. Its not a ultra wide or a super zoom lens. Its an all around lens. Its lightweight.. I was debating between this lens and the Sony E PZ 18-105mm F4 G OSS. Most Amazon and YouTube reviews said the same. This lens is better for pictures while the Sony E PZ 18-105mm F4 G OSS was better for filming. I have a Sony a6000 and am only interested in photography so this lens was perfect. I was tired of carrying the stock lens for the a6000 and my Sony E 55-210mm F/4.5-6.3 OSS. ... show more

  • Best and only lens that is on my camera the most
Style: Lens Only
This lens provides me with the quality and sharpness I have been aching for through all the years I have owned the Sony mirrorless. Currently I have the a6500 and was feeling not so positive about the whole camera system and had considered moving on to another brand. I have the 16, 18-200, 18-55, and others and go through periods of love/hate with my photography and creating videos. After realizing that I would be spending $2,000 for another brand, I decided to buy the 18-135 to not only save a lot of money, but to inspire a new hope in what I do. Once I received the lens, I was shocked by the dramatic difference in image quality and the videography was so much better. This lens has helped me to push my a6500 further and go through all the menus and choose much better settings that are yielding much better photo and videos. I can't imagine using this camera without this lens. I would highly suggest you take a look at this lens to see if it would help you, too. I am grateful I didn't buy another camera brand and happy for the cost of this lens. ... show more
