About this product

Product Information

DMF (Direct Manual Focus) functions previously offered mainly on Carl Zeiss, G and other high-performance lenses are included with the SAL18135. DMF allows users to quickly switch between AF (autofocus) and MF (manual focus) without removing their eyes from the viewfinder to easily seize fleeting photo opportunities with success. The SAL18135 reduced weigh of 14 oz./398 grams makes it easy to shoot while also finding ways to enhance the shooting experience. Its weight was especially reduced in the front of the lens to improve overall balance and make it easier to hold the camera steady when taking photos.

  • Sony SAL18135/3.5-5.6 is a gem!

    Like many of Sony's in house SAL optics, this upper end consumer kit offering offers a lot of bang for the buck. My used sample was pristine and shoots beautiful images. AF is very quiet, zoom and manual focus are very smooth. The auto switching for AF to manual is a feature every lens should have. Build quality is as good as plastic can be which is essentially fragile in nature but adequate for consumer use with any care shown to it. Light weight, fairly compact and a competent performer in capturing images, this zoom is a cut above many models in IQ. Good center focus wide open with softish corners, the SAL18135 shapes up quickly once you start stopping down. Very good IQ throughout the focal range - not common on many zooms. Using f4/5.6 through f16 will produce great images. Diffraction comes into play around f11-16 and ruins images using the smallest apertures. All in all, buying this item on eBay for half the retail price, I scored a mint sample of a current product - shipped from Japan, where Sony builds their better optics.

  • Focus ring not working properly

    Will not work in full AF , so for my use shooting action not a lot of time to get the sharp fucus that I need my 18x200 is a better option & about the same weight, however it will be a very good portrait lens.

  • Optical zoom flexibility

    Good quality and reasonable image given the optical zoom range and aps-c compatibility. The focal length range works well for most routine applications.

  • Sony DT 18-135mm

    I received this lens in just a few days from Japan. Condition was just as described - MINT. I have only used it to take a group of test photos, but the operation and photographic results are very good and just what I was looking for. This lens is a very good walkabout lens and will be on my camera most of the time.

  • Great all around lens!

    LOVE this lens! It's perfect for when I don't want to carry extra lenses. I can get landscape shots as well as closeup ones. I shoot a lot of races, and this is perfect to get a shot of the crowd, then go straight to a runner's face. The range is fantastic, the shots are sharp, and it's a fairly fast (and quiet) lens.

    Not as sharp as I would have hoped, but still a nice crisp image for the price.
