Excellent lens for the price
For me, this new Sony 18-135 f3.5-5.6 lens is clearly preferable to its two likeliest competitors, the Sony Zeiss 16-70 f4 lens, and the Sony 18-105 G f4 lens. As compared to the Zeiss, my new Sony 18-135 is sharper from 18mm to 50mm, equally sharp from 50mm to 70mm, and provides the extra...

REVIEW: Sony E 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Review
There is no doubt that the new Sony E 18-135mm lens has a real place amongst those that could be considered as general purpose/travel companions. Designed for APS-C format cameras, and here reviewed with the Sony Alpha A6500 body, this gives a full format "35mm equivalent" similar to the 28-200mm...

Great All round lense
Great standard zoom lense, will likely live on camera displacing the kit lense. Far more flexible than 16-50 for candid portraits and general photography
Pros:
- Durable
- Great Picture Quality
- Simple Controls

Lovely focal length range for a standard len
First use of the lens today. Seems sharp at most focal lengths using aperture of f9. Only downside is slight lag in auto focus when compared with my Zeiss 16-70 which has been my normal standard lens. The extra focal length however more than comoensates for the slight focus lag.

Sony E 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS SEL18135
The 18135SEL exceeded my expectations, although I hoped for the best based on this website's intial review. IQ is really quite good across the board - rare for such a long range zoom.
Pros:
- Excellent IQ wide open in centers and edges - corners sharpen a couple stops down OSS is a big help with a6000/a6300 bodies AF is quick and accurate Compact
- light and easy to operate
Cons:
- Slow optically Minimal bokeh potential

Instantly switch between auto and manual focus via an AF/MF switch on the side of the lens. This makes operation faster and easier as you let the camera and lens focus for you; or, decide to take control and manually focus on the precise point you chose.

Very sharp
I have only had this lens for a few hours, and have only tried it in the half-light of evening, but, I must say that I am, so far, very impressed. I must say that I am not particularly overwhelmed with the additional zoom capability over the kit 16-55mm.

Best Walk-around lens for Sony
I sold a Sony G-lens 18-105 to get this 18-135, and i couldn't be happier. Some folks will think that's crazy, because the 18-105 G is supposed to be so great, but honestly, this lens totally outshines that one for a lot of reasons.
