Versatile APS-C E-Mount Zoom

The Sony E 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS covers a 27-202.5mm equivalent range for APS-C mirrorless cameras. It uses two ED elements and one aspherical element to control aberrations across the zoom. Optical SteadyShot stabilization and a linear AF motor support sharp handheld stills and quiet video focusing. Minimum focus distance is 1.5 feet.

Sustained handheld stability

Optical SteadyShot reduces camera shake during extended shooting sessions at longer focal lengths. The linear autofocus motor maintains quiet, accurate tracking for continuous video recording without hunting. Optical corrections from ED and aspherical elements preserve consistent sharpness and colour accuracy throughout the zoom range during prolonged use.

Variable aperture constraints

Maximum aperture shifts from f/3.5 at 18mm to f/5.6 at 135mm, limiting low-light capability at the telephoto end. The aperture range extends to f/36 for depth-of-field control in bright conditions. Buyers needing constant f/2.8 brightness or wider maximum apertures should consider different lenses.

Questions about this item

How much power does the Sony SEL18135 draw when I shoot video all day?

The lens uses a linear AF motor that runs from the camera body, so there is no separate power draw to consider.

What camera body must I already own for this E-mount lens to work?

You need an APS-C-format Sony E-mount mirrorless camera for the 18-135mm focal range and Optical SteadyShot to function.

Will the 27-202.5mm equivalent zoom still cover the same angles if I keep my older full-frame E-mount body?

On a full-frame E-mount camera the lens automatically switches to APS-C crop mode, giving a narrower field of view than the native 18-135mm range.
