Sony E 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS APS-C E-Mount Zoom Lens

With a versatile 18-135mm (27-202.5mm / 35mm equivalent) range, Optical SteadyShot Image stabilization and fast, precise, quiet AF, this compact and lightweight zoom for APS-C E-mount cameras produces excellent corner-to-corner sharpness and beautiful defocused bokeh to a variety of still and movie applications.

Lightweight and Compact Design

Compact (E-mount APS-C format) and lightweight (11.5 oz [325 g]), this lens features an optical design optimized for short flange focal distances that makes it small and manageable on its own while also contributing to notable reductions in overall system size, weight, and portability.

7.5x High-Magnification APS-C Zoom Lens

A high zoom ratio provides a versatile 27-mm to 202.5-mm range (35-mm format equivalent, 7.5x optical zoom) that covers a broad spectrum of subjects and situations: scenery, nature, portraits, and general day-to-day photography.

Optical Design

A new optical design that includes one aspherical element contributes to consistently high resolution from the image center right out to the edges, while two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements effectively suppress chromatic aberration.

Close-Ups with Background Bokeh

An impressive minimum focusing distance of just 0.45 m (1.45 ft) (0.29x max. magnification) makes it easy to shoot close-ups that take advantage of the lens's beautiful background bokeh.

Beautiful Bokeh

Bokeh quality is enhanced by a circular aperture design.

Built-In Optical Image Stabilization

When shooting scenes from a handheld position, particularly night scenes or in dimly lit interiors, built-in optical image stabilization makes it easier to shoot blur-free images handheld.

Fast, Precise, Quiet Focus

Advanced linear motor technology quietly drives the focus group with outstanding speed and precision, making the most of the high AF performance provided by the a6000 series. Accurate focus is more easily achieved for stills and movies, even with moving subjects.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very compact zoom lens, fast auto focus I bought this 3 week ago because I needed to zoom lens and this did not disappoint. It is sharp, quiet and easy to carry. Great zoom range for such a compact body.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Compact, versatile, great image quality I bought this to replace my 16-50 & 55-210 lens, found it hard to constantly switch lens, which made me mostly shoot with the 16-50mm. This lens is so versatile, giving me the extra range I need while providing a much improved image quality and sharpness.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Lens Excellent quality. I also own the Sigma 56mm fixed lens as it’s supposed to be better for portraits, but the Sony 18-135mm is just as good.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great lens I got this lens a few weeks ago to use with my Sony a6400. So far, I am totally happy with the performance of this lens. I am getting nice sharp captures and the lens is light weight and compact which is very nice. The zoom range works perfectly for me as an every day lens. It was a good purchase.
