I had tried both Sony 18-105 and 18-135. The 18-105 is a "G" lens and suppose to be better than the 135. The problem is 105 is way heavier and cause the camera+lens combo to be front heavy. It wasn't much fun for me to take pictures with it.

This is a great one-size fits all lens for Sony alpha-series cameras. Previously I found myself frequently swapping between my camera's kit lens and a 55-210mm lens. Time consuming and a bit of a hassle - especially if having to carry extra kit when out and about.

I got this lens a few weeks ago to use with my Sony a6400. So far, I am totally happy with the performance of this lens. I am getting nice sharp captures and the lens is light weight and compact which is very nice. The zoom range works perfectly for me as an every day lens. It was a good purchase.

Good quality and convenient,
