Description

The Sony DT 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 SAM [SAL18135] is a versatile standard zoom lens designed for Sony A-mount APS-C DSLR and SLT cameras. Its 27–202.5mm equivalent focal range covers a broad selection of subjects, from wide-angle landscapes and travel scenes to portraits and moderate telephoto photography.

The lens features Sony’s Smooth Autofocus Motor (SAM), providing autofocus operation suitable for everyday shooting. Its 0.45m minimum focusing distance and 0.25× maximum magnification also allow photographers to capture close-up subjects with useful detail and background separation.

With its broad zoom range, the SAL18135 is well suited to photographers who want a single lens for travel, family photography, street scenes, landscapes, and general-purpose use. The lens does not include optical stabilization, so image stabilization depends on the camera body it is mounted on.

Designed specifically for the APS-C format, the lens offers a practical balance between versatility and portability within the Sony A-mount system. It is compatible with Sony Alpha DSLR and SLT cameras that support DT lenses.
