According to our camera lens expert
The Sony SEL 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS for mirrorless cameras is a versatile lens for all-round photographers. The image stabilization ensures you get sharp photos when you zoom in or at low light. With the 3.5 maximum aperture, you can create a lot of depth of field in the photo. That way, the subject stands out from the background. That's useful if you use the camera for portrait photography. The large zoom range makes the lens suitable for landscape and architecture photography. With a 18mm focal length, a wide landscape fits into your frame.

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.

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!

Ideal lens for all-round photography, portrait (with enough light) but also landscape. So far very happy with the quality. I have this lens with the sony a6000. Also in possession of a Nikon D5000 with an 18-105 mm lens. Quality with this Sony + lens is very good. Focusing is easy and fast. Sharpness depth quality very good, I no longer have the 'need' to buy a 50mm f1.8 lens, for example. The lens is heavy compared to the body, but a lot lighter than SLR. Happy with this all-round lens!
