The Sony E 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS lens is a compact and versatile zoom designed for APS-C-format Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. Offering a broad focal length range equivalent to 27-202.5mm, it is well-suited for various applications such as travel, landscape, portrait, and everyday photography. This lens provides exceptional performance across its zoom range, delivering sharp images with accurate color reproduction.

The optical design features two extra-low dispersion (ED) elements, which minimize chromatic aberrations and color fringing for greater clarity and sharpness. An aspherical element is also included to control distortion and reduce spherical aberrations, ensuring precise and accurate image rendering. A rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to smooth bokeh when working with shallow depth of field, providing more aesthetically pleasing out-of-focus areas.

Image stabilization is enhanced with Sony’s Optical SteadyShot (OSS) system, which compensates for camera shake, especially useful when shooting handheld at slower shutter speeds. The lens is also compatible with sensor-shift image stabilization on select Sony cameras for even more effective control over blur.

The lens employs a linear autofocus (AF) motor for quick, precise, and quiet focusing, making it an excellent choice for both still photography and video recording. The AF/MF switch allows for easy switching between autofocus and manual focus, while the minimum focusing distance of 1.5 feet and 0.29x maximum magnification make it capable of handling close-up subjects.

Lightweight and versatile, this lens is an excellent all-around option for photographers and videographers seeking a high-quality, portable zoom lens for everyday shooting, especially for travel and on-the-go photography.
