Product Highlights
- Lightweight and compact design : Compact (E-mount APS-C format) and lightweight (325 grams (11.5 oz.)), 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 27mm to 202.5mm range (35mm 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 achieves high resolution : 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 0.45m (1.45ft) (0.29x max. magnification) makes it easy to shoot close-ups that take advantage of the lens’s beautiful background bokeh.

Great Sony Zoom lens with 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 OSS. The build quality is very good as you would expect from Sony, and technically it ticks all the boxes, especially with the fast quiet Auto focus and optical steady shot stabilization.
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 choice.
I have no regrets in picking this lens.
Just handy for everyday use instead of using a small and telephoto lenses
I chose this as the kit lens for my new A6600, great choice, Ive been using Sony since 2001 and have many lens, I usually use an 18-250 on my A77 and was worried I would miss that zoom length, but so far using this lens which is really good, Ive realised that 18-135 is the range I usually work within, only occasionally using the full 250. Im really impressed with this set up A6600 with 18-135 perfect choice
