Great video. I've had all three lenses on my a6000, including the 18-105. Sent the 18-135 back because I was disappointed in the picture quality. Also no longer have the kit lenses, but kept the 18-105 (best bang for the buck). I found the colors were better on the 18-105 and a more clean picture, plus I can do excellent videos too. So now I have the Sigma 16mm 1.4 lens (one of my favorites), the Sigma 30mm 2.8, vintage lens (helois 44mm, 1.2), the Sony 85mm 1.8 and the 18-105. Have one or two other vintage lenses, but for my purposes those lenses pretty well do it for me. You are one of my favorite reviewers. Thanks again.

@@ArthurR It really depends on the lens. I had alltogether three 1855s in my family. When I bought my current Alpha 5100 it came with a 1650. Since I did not like the motorzoom I thought about keeping one of the 1855s and startet comparison. It turned out that two auf the 1855 were visibly better than the 1650. One was significant worse. The good ones were a black Japanese and a newer silver Thai. The bad one was an old Thei version, that came with the Nex-3 of my doughter.

That's it... looks like I'll score the 18-135 for my a6300 soon! I was looking at the 18-200, but the telephoto end is soft on that one as well, just like the 55-210 shown here. Also, it still manages to be compact enough to fit in a day pack, which I like. Does anyone know if the digital zoom crops work with the 18-135? If I use any of those in a pinch, it's the ClearImage 2X mode. I sometimes turn that on with the 16-50 lens. This would be great with my 16mm f/2.8 lens to tote along. (I know the pancake 16mm is not seen as good to some, but I landed a decent one, and it's perfect for the old school film look + some low light capability.)

Many thanks for your great videos. I recently converted to an A6000 and your videos have been invaluable for choosing lenses. I am looking at possible getting either the 18-135 or the 18-105 as a walk around lens - especially for when travelling. I have always used primes in the past, and currently have the Sigma 16 and the Sony 35. Never been much of fan of zooms and never used the kit lens that came with the A6000. However, I might get a zoom just for convenience. But I have noticed that when you have shown us the gear you normally carry, there is no zoom in it! Usually two or three primes. Does this mean you are not a fan of zooms? I also wonder if the price of the two Sony zooms is just too much - especially here in Australia, where they are almost double the US price.

The difference is not that overwhelming as I thought it would be. The bokeh of the 18-135 in portraits is disappointig in comparison to the 55-210 which is not really shown in this video. As you are more on the tele side with the 18-135 this point was a no go for me. A real step forward in sharpness you only get with a sigma prime. Or 1655G.

On a budget: would you choose Sony a6000 + 18135 lens, Sony a6000+16-50+ 55-210 lenses, Sony a6100+16-50 lens, or Sony a6400 + 16-50 lens? Having a baby soon, so thought professional camera could be nice to save money in the long term on professional photoshoots, and eventually could take photos of clients. I was really wanting the front facing flip screen so we could take our own family portraits, but it seems like starting with the nicer lens and the 6000 might be worth it and maybe adding an external monitor?

What would you do? I purchased the a6400 which came with the 18-135 lens for $1300 but I haven't open it yet so I can still exchange it. Would you keep it or go with the a6600 for $1199 body only but add the 55-210 for $349 (Best buy charges $149 for this lens when purchased with a camera) for a total of $1349 ($50) more than the a6400.
