Pros and cons

According to our camera lens expert

When you zoom all the way out, you can take clear photos in low-light locations thanks to the large maximum aperture of f/3.5.
With the 18-135mm zoom range, the lens is suitable for landscape, architecture, and bird photography.
You can take sharp handheld photos at slower shutter speeds thanks to the image stabilization.
When you zoom in, the lens becomes less light-sensitive and your images look less bright.
The lens isn’t water-resistant, so you can’t take photos in the rain.

Description

Capture clear images in low light with the Sony SEL 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS. This camera lens has a maximum aperture of f/3.5 when you zoom out. This lets you take photos in dark conditions and create soft background blur. The 18-135mm zoom range suits landscapes, architecture, and animals in the distance. The image stabilization also reduces vibrations in handheld videos. The Sony E mount fits APS-C and full-frame mirrorless cameras with an E or FE mount.

Nice lens, delivers nice quality photos

light
zoom range
quality photos

A nice compact and light lens with a nice zoom range. Makes it an ideal lens to go out with or to travel around on holiday without changing lenses. The photos are razor sharp and of a better quality than the standard supplied lens. The quality is just very good over the entire zoom range. When the lens is fully zoomed in, the total length of the lens is only slightly longer (about 2.5 cm). This is a lot more with other lenses with this zoom range. The light sensitivity is of course slightly less when zooming in, but due to the built-in image stabilization that is actually no problem.

Lens is fine, but substandard shipping

Very sharp
Fits the camera well
Looks decent

I like the lens Very sharp especially in the center Very solid good look and feel.

Only very bad to speak about the method of shipping! Lens was rattling in a much too large outer box without any filling material. There were two holes in the outer box which were taped shut by post nl provesorically and with a sticker on the box that post nl had not looked in the box. This could be much better because you are talking about 539 euros. They can do this much better at C***** in Urk! Bought quite a lot at Coolblue, but if they don't take shipping more seriously in the future: I'll swerve!

a gem

nice and sharp
manageable weight
image stabilizer

I like this telephoto lens very much. It is very manageable in weight and the size is also fine. I've lugged a huge horn in the analog era, but it went from 80-200mm. And I also doubted between this and the 18-200mm. But I chose this one and it suits me very well. I am very satisfied with the sharpness, also nice that it has an image stabilizer. Although I had read in some reviews that it slides a bit stiffly, I experience it as smooth. So that will be very personal. We can complain about the price, but all lenses are expensive. It would indeed be nice if they could be sold for a little less money.
