Overview

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.

Key Features: 

  • 7.5x high magnification zoom/ 27-202.5mm (35mm equiv.) focal length
  • Outstanding sharpness from 1x aspherical and 2x ED glass elements
  • 7-blade circular aperture contributes to beautiful bokeh 
  • Optical SteadyShot image stabilization for sharper stills and video
  • Fast, precise, quiet AF for high-speed stills and impressive video
  • Close-up w/ 1.48ft. min. focus distance/ 0.29x max. magnification
  • Compact (2.75” x 3.5”) and lightweight (11.5 oz.)
  • Advanced optical design with 16 elements in 12 groups

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.

Great walk around lens
A beautiful 'walk around' lens. Covers pretty much most aspects of daily photography. Very easy to use and great crisp, sharp images captured with this lens.

Very good lens for APS-C
A small lens which packs a punch. Generally very good pictures and of course the OSS greatly assists. Small amount of distortion but generally pretty good.

Great utility lens
I'm a beginner and this was an option with an a6700. I find the lens is perfect for me, as it has a decent zoom but can use it for the wider angles while I learn more about how to improve the quality of my shots. The lens itself is not heavy at all but feels sturdy.

This lens is the best
This lens is so versatile! It's clear, sharp, fast. It's usually the only one I take on most vacations. It's perfect for cities, wide angle to some telephoto

Versatile lens
I like this lens a lot, the only problem in the minimum aperture, its not fast enough. But the lens is very good for the price.

E 18-135mm lens
Got this lens as part of a kit with A6400. Overall really impressed with sharpness and size and portability of this lens. For a kit lens it is really impressive.

A great balance of price, size and capability.
I bought this recently as a kit lens for my a6700 and have absolutely no regrets. It is lightweight, compact and well made. In real world use it produces well rendered, lovely, sharp images at all focal lengths and at all apertures. It is barely noticeable on the a6700.
