E 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 OSS overview

The Sony E 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 OSS is an 18–135mm f/3.5–5.6 zoom for APS-C cameras on Sony E-mount, announced by Sony in January 2018. 11 cameras we track take it without an adapter.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits travel. It is a weaker pick for rain and dust.

New, it sells for $373 to $799.99 at the 4 stores we track in the United States that have it in stock; used and refurbished copies start at $299.99. It launched at $600.

Worth comparing it with the Sony E 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 OSS LE, Sony E PZ 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 OSS and Sony E PZ 18-105mm F4 G OSS.
