very good I would recommend this to everyone cool.

I had been looking for a general purpose everyday lens for sometime. Having researched various makes and focal lengths, I decided that the most practical for myself was the 18-135mm. It matches perfectly with my SLT-A68, and will be going with me on holiday. Used it recently at my daughters baby reveal party and got some excellent stills and video. Although not the fastest of lenses, it works really well in outdoor situations, sharp and fast focus with very little noise. If you are looking for an all rounder for travelling or just as a lens you leave on your camera as an upgrade from the kit lens, then this could be worth looking at.

I bought the Sony 18-135mm Alpha lens as an upgrade to the 18-55mm kit lens that came with my Sony A65 camera, as I wanted more flexibility and creative choice in my photography. I've had the 18-135mm lens for some time now and have really enjoyed using it and have got some excellent results. The lens itself feels sturdy and well made, (in Japan) with a metal lens mount and easy to use zoom and focus rings. This lens is quite a bit heavier than the kit lens but without making the camera feel unbalanced or too cumbersome. In general the images produced with the lens are very good, producing sharp images with quick focusing which is less noisy & smoother than the standard kit lens. I've used this lens for close ups, landscapes, action and low light photography and now use this lens for 80% of my shots taken with this camera. The extra focal length provided by this lens comes in very handy and so I think it would make a great choice as a single choice travel lens, when you might want to travel lighter rather than being weighed down by taking several lenses on a trip somewhere. Hope this helps a bit. Many thanks!

not a bad lens, now using as my main lens over the lens got with the kit
