Sony E 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Lens
The Sony E 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS is a highly versatile “all-in-one” zoom lens designed for Sony APS-C mirrorless cameras. Providing a 27-202.5mm equivalent focal range, this lens is the perfect companion for travel, landscapes, and everyday photography. By combining a wide-angle perspective with significant telephoto reach in a single compact body, it allows you to transition from sweeping vistas to tight portraits without ever needing to swap lenses.

Versatile Optics & Performance
Expansive 7.5x Zoom Range: From a 27mm equivalent wide-angle to a 202.5mm telephoto reach, this lens covers nearly every common shooting scenario, making it an ideal choice for a single-lens setup.

Optical SteadyShot (OSS): Integrated image stabilization compensates for camera shake, ensuring sharper handheld photos and smoother video even when shooting at longer focal lengths or in lower light.

Advanced Optical Design: Features two Extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements and one aspherical element to effectively suppress chromatic aberrations and distortion. This results in images with high clarity, accurate color, and edge-to-edge sharpness.

Quiet Linear AF Motor: The internal autofocus system is powered by a linear motor for fast, precise, and near-silent performance—a critical feature for capturing clean audio during video recording.

Close-Up Capability: With a minimum focusing distance of 1.5′ and a 0.29x magnification, you can capture detailed close-up shots of flowers, food, or textures.

Professional Handling & Design
Dedicated AF/MF Switch: Quickly toggle between autofocus and manual focus directly on the lens barrel for immediate creative control.

7-Blade Rounded Diaphragm: The aperture design creates a soft, pleasing background blur (bokeh), helping your subjects stand out beautifully.

Compact & Lightweight: Despite its impressive reach, the lens maintains a portable profile that balances perfectly with Sony’s compact A6000-series bodies.

Condition Note
Mechanical State: Please note that this is a well-used unit. The zoom ring is stiff throughout the range, requiring more effort to adjust than a new lens.

Filter Mount Damage: This lens has a dented filter thread. Because of this, you will not be able to attach screw-in filters or a lens hood to the front of the lens. This is a physical mount issue; however, it does not impact the glass or the electronic performance of the lens.
