The Sony a6400 is the Best Camera I've Ever Used!!!
I've been using digital cameras for almost 20 years. I went from a variety of early point and shoot to a Nikon D40 to some of the early Sony Mirrorless cameras (NEX-5N and NEX-5R). When my 5R was stolen last year, I went through multiple cameras trying to find one I liked - I tried a Panasonic GX85 (loved the outside pictures, really struggled to take good pics indoors), a FujiFilm XT-20 and then X-T30 (loved the colors, but indoor pictures never appeared to be properly in focus). After I wasn't satisfied with any of those, I really considered just going back to a point and shoot. However, based on some recommendations on DPReview, I tried the Sony a6400. This is by far the best camera I have ever owned. The AF system on it is unbelievable. Pictures look great in any lighting I have tried so far. I love the lenses I have for it (Sony 18-135mm, Sigma 30mm 1.4, and Sigma 19mm 2.8). The menu system is a little hard to figure out; however I purchased an amazing tutorial by Michael the Maven which has helped. The only downside is I wish it had IBIS, but with a fast lens like the Sigma 1.4 lenses, it still takes great pics in lower light at higher shutter speeds. Fantastic camera!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Images sharp in the center and fairly poor in the corners and on the edges.
I shot the lens at 18mm f8 ISO 100 on my a6000 and the center of the image is very sharp at 100%. The corners are fairly poor and the edges are not much better. I compared shooting the same image with my PZ16-50 and the corners are slightly better on the 16-50. I guess that's to be expected on a $500 kit lens with this kind of focal range. I guess I'm kind of disappointed in the lens. I bought it for the range and stabilization.

Good specs and well priced lens, perfect for travel
The lens feels well built compared to my other plastic lenses. The size and weight are very good for the focal length. It is sharp and does not have noticable optical problems. I am impressed by the value. I recommend it for a general use while traveling, the zoom range is flexible and I don't have to switch lenses in the moment. I use another small lens for night.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Outstanding Zoom Lens
This is an amazingly good lens. It is tack sharp throughout the zoom range. Learn how to use this lens and for many people it will be the only lens they will ever need for a Sony APS=C camera! It is not terribly fast, but by simply increasing the ISO it will give excellent results. It is a real home run for Sony.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Pricey, but OK
Very pricey lens although widely thought not to be one of Sony's sharpest and best. I find it comparable with some of my older Nikkor lenses, though. I'm using it on my Sony a 6300 for video and for this, it's just fine. I wish the widest aperture remained constant throughout the zoom range. One bad note: I think that the focus (on manual) shifts when zooming from 135mm to 18mm, so the old technique of establishing sharp focus at the longest focal length for accuracy isn't working here.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Excellent value at this price
This is a great all around lens. It is like a super-kit lens. I like both the 16-50 mm pancake lens and this 18-135 mm. They are both light and of good quality, with the latter a little better in terms of chromatic aberrations. They are not as sharp as primes or G-Master lenses, but they are great for portability and all around use. The 16-50 is most compact, but the 18-135 has greater telephoto reach.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Refurbished

a useful wide-angle to medium telephoto range Lens
a tiny little wide-range zoom that does just about anything, and is light enough to carry everywhere all day, every day. This lens is sharp, fast- and close-focusing and has optical stabilization so I can hand-hold it in any light.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A great carry around lens
Nice size, OSS works well letting you shoot at a lower shutterspeed. The max f/3.5 is a little restrictive in low light. Good zoom range.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Second copy was terrific
The first copy of these lens that I received wasn't much sharper than the Kit zoom lens and about even with the 18-105. However, the second copy of this lens was razor sharp and superior to my 18-105 lens. Very pleased with the results. Still might be a tad expensive, but worth it. I also like the manual focus switch on the lens itself. Makes it really quick to switch between auto and manual focus. Also I notice that it auto-focuses faster than my 18-105. A great buy!

Good Single Travel Lens
I am no expert but this lens is as sharp or sharper than the kit lenses and just as fast. The advantage is that I can take this single zoom and carry it around all day for a wide variety of situations when I travel. It isn’t great in really low light but is lite and compact.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
