Two ED Extra-low Dispersion glass elements control chromatic aberration for excellent sharpness from image center to periphery. ED glass elements correct for axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration which affect resolution and bokeh while leaving precisely rendered edges with no fringing or unnatural coloration. When changing your aperture to defocus the background light sources appear blurred. This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background is enhanced with the 7-blade circular aperture used in this lens. This APS-C lens features a versatile 18-135mm focal length aperture range of F3.5-F5.6 and Optical SteadyShot stabilization. The lens model SEL18135 features a compact lightweight design measuring only 2.75 x 3.5 inches and weighing in at a mere 11.5 oz as well as a high magnification 7.5x optical zoom that covers the wide-ranging focal length of 18-135mm on APS-C or 27-202.5mm in 35mm equivalent focal length. The lens is an ideal fit for Sony’s popular APS-C sensor cameras including a6500 a6300 and a6000 and is an extremely useful tool for a wide range of shooting situations ranging from daily life to portraiture landscape nature and travel photography. The E 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 OSS produces outstanding corner-to-corner sharpness throughout the entire zoom range thanks to its advanced design featuring one aspherical lens and two extra-low dispersion glass elements that minimize aberrations. This lens also allows photographers to produce close-up images with pleasing ‘bokeh’ or background defocus as a result of its maximum magnification ratio of 0.29x and minimum focus distance of 1.48ft. It also offers built-in optical image stabilization to support handheld shooting. Additionally the 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 OSS Zoom Lens offers fast precise quiet AF performance thanks to a linear motor making it a perfect complement to the high-speed shooting and impressive video capabilities of many of Sony’s mirrorless cameras.
