Sony DT 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 SAM, APS-C A-mount - Import
Sony A, APS-C / DXCurrently out of stock
Product details
Pair the lens with a Sony camera with SteadyShot Inside and you’ll enjoy smooth, blur-free results when shooting handheld, even zoomed in. Instead of a standard polygon-shaped lens aperture, this lens
features a 7-blade circular aperture for more natural, rounded defocusing, or bokeh. Aspherical lens elements minimize distortion while ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements provide superior contrast, resolution, and color fidelity. Built into the lens, the Smooth Autofocus Motor (SAM) is significantly smoother and quieter than conventional camera-coupled autofocus drive systems. For greater creative control, quickly revert from autofocus to manual focus just by turning the manual focus ring of the lens.

Overall ratingVery good86/100
Insgesamt bietet das Modell gute Leistungen und auch an der Verarbeitung gibt es nichts auszusetzen. dabei sind Verzeichnungs- und Vignettierungswerte zwar nicht perfekt aber dennoch noch akzeptabel. Abblenden geht dann aber auf Koten einer schwächeren Bildmitte, wobei der AF sowohl schnell als auch leise arbeitet.
Very good89/100
- Geringe Abbildungsfehler
- Treffsicherer Autofokus
- Viel Leistung fürs Geld
- Hohe Kantenschärfe
- Sichtbare Farbsäume
- Nur für APS-C
Das Sony SAL 3.5-5.6/18-135 mm SAM punktet im Test mit hoher Auflösung und äußerst treffsicherem Autofokus. Das Reisezoom für APS-C-Kameras kämpft allerdings mit leichten Farbsäumen. Dennoch kann sich das Sony SAL 3.5-5.6/18-135 mm SAM sowohl als Test-, als auch als Preis-Leistungs-Sieger behaupten.
