VIDEO: Sony 18-135 OSS with the A6500 for Street Photography
Yesterday I posted an article on my time in Hawaii with the Sony A9, RX0 and A6500 along with the new 18-135 OOS Lens. Here is a video with more on that lens. Images and thoughts. I did not have it ready when yesterdays article went up so some of you may have missed it. Overall, the Sony 18-135 which gives around a 28-200 equivalent FOV is a fantastic and small lens for the A6000 series of cameras. Not a G Master or Zeiss but not priced like one either. This is basically my 1st look and use of the lens, of which I had for a day. Enjoy!
Thanks! Yea, we had an hour there to roam around with the new lens. Was a great area for sure. Thank you!
Steve it’s always refreshing to see you get away from ‘test shots’ and stretch your legs with some genuine street photography. It reminds us you’re more than just a mouthpiece ; ) We were in Hawaii last year and in one or two hours of walking Honolulu’s Chinatown I got a ton of ‘keepers’. It’s a great spot for street photography and any street photographer who finds him/herself in Hawaii must get him/herself there!
Steve, Thanks very much for this presentation! Music in my ears when you included a6000 in your range of suitable cameras. That’s as far as I got with the NEX-style line having started with the C3, and added the 6 along the way.
I really like them as cameras and prefer to reduce lens changing by keeping the three bodies. Sounds like this lens would really reduce the number of bodies I need to take on holidays and other trips! Otherwise, when I’m at home, its Leicaland with the X2 or the X-Vario for me, but I’m quite happy with the different renderings (and quality) between Sony and Leica. Many thanks for your reviews and a belated Happy New Year from Denmark!
