Test Description

Sony SEL18135 - 18 mm to 135 mm - f/3.5 - 5.6 - Zoom Lens for Sony E - Designed for Camera - 55 mm Attachment - 0.29x Magnification - 7.5x Optical Zoo

Lightweight, Compact, High-magnification zoom lens

With broad zoom range extending from 18mm wide-angle to 135mm telephoto, the versatile lens covers a wide range of subjects and situations. It features compact, lightweight portability that maximizes the APS-C format E-mount advantage, as well as fast, precise, quiet AF operation that make it an excellent one-lens solution for day-to-day shooting.

7.5x zoom in a compact, lightweight lens

This lens weighs in at a mere 11.5oz (325g), and is no larger than 67.2mm in diameter and 88mm in length. At the telephoto end of the zoom range the focal length is 202.5mm (35mm format equivalent), providing ample reach for general shooting as well as landscapes, wildlife, portraits, and more.

High corner-to-corner resolution

A new optical design that includes one aspherical element contributes to consistently high resolution from the image center right out to the edges throughout the zoom range, while two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements effectively suppress chromatic aberration. Built-in optical image stabilization makes it easier to shoot blur-free images handheld.

Close-ups with beautiful background bokeh

Minimum focusing distance is just 0.45 m (1.48 ft) (0.29x max. magnification), making it easy to shoot close-ups of sweets, flowers, and wildlife that combine sharp in-focus subjects with beautiful background bokeh. Bokeh quality is enhanced by a circular aperture design.

Fast, precise, quiet AF is ideal for stills and movies

A precision linear motor powers the lens's AF system, for fast, precise, quiet operation that is ideally suited for movies as well as stills.

Sony E 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 OSS APS-C E-mount Zoom Lens

With a versatile 18-135mm (27-202.5mm / 35mm equivalent) range\, Optical SteadyShot Image stabilization and fast\, precise\, quiet AF\, this compact and lightweight zoom for APS-C E-mount cameras produces excellent corner-to-corner sharpness and beautiful defocused bokeh to a variety of still and movie applications.Optical Image StabilizationOptical SteadyShot image stabilization keeps your image stable even when your hands aren't. By compensating for the minor hand motions that can cause blurring and distortion\, Optical SteadyShot ensures brilliant photographic results - even at high magnification.ED (Extra Low Dispersion)Two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements control chromatic aberration for excellent sharpness from image center to periphery. ED glass elements correct for axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration\, which affect resolution and bokeh\, while leaving precisely rendered edges with no fringing or unnatural coloration.Advanced Aspherical Optical DesignAn aspherical element helps suppress aberrations\, achieving impressively high resolution\, sharpness and contrast even at maximum aperture and ultra-wide angles while reducing the total number of elements required in the lens\, thus reducing overall size and weight.Fast\, Precise\, Quiet AFAn advanced linear motor powers the lens’s AF system\, with outstanding\, precise and quiet operation that is ideally suited for movies\, as well as stills. Easily achieve accurate focus\, even with moving subjects.Instant Auto/Manual Focus SelectionInstantly 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 point7.5x High Magnification ZoomA versatile 7.5x high magnification zoom APS-C lens featuring an 18-135mm / 27-202.5mm (35mm equivalent) focal length\, F3.5-5.6 aperture range and Optical SteadyShot image stabilization can cover a broad spectrum of subjects and situations\, including scenery\, portraits\, nature\, and general day-to-day photography.you chose.Class-leading Close-up PerformanceClass-leading close-up performance with a minimum focusing distance of 1.48 ft. and 0.29x maximum magnification is ideal for portraits\, telephoto\, macro\, and more.7-blade Circular ApertureWhen changing your aperture to defocus the background\, light sources appear blurred. This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background is enhanced with the 7-blade circular aperture used in this lens. Conventional aperture blades have flat sides creating unappealing\, polygonal-shaped\, defocused points of light. a lenses overcome this problem through a design that keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops. Smoother\, more natural defocusing can be obtained as a result.
