I have the 18-105 lens and like it very much. It is a bit heavy.

Go with the 18-135. I have all three of those and the 18-135 is on the camera 95% of the time. Changing lenses is a pain and a source of sensor dust.

Neither, I've a 6300 and the 18-105 is seldom off my camera when traveling, when it is the 10-18 replaces it. Incredible travel set up!

Suggest you try it in a store. Both of the kit lenses are ‘power zoom’ which I found frustrating- as is the 18-105. I ended up with the 18-153 and rokinon 12 mm f2 on an a6500. Love them!

The 18-105 is a consistent F4 which is nice and you don't have to use the power zoom. I don't but I know video folks like it.

I bought the A6000 and now have the A6500. Started with 15-55 mm and 55-210. Came across a deal for the Sony 18-210. This has been my all-around carry always lens. I did sell the 55-210 since the Sony handled the range. Go with 18-135.

One package includes an 18-135 mm lens for 1198.00.
The other includes a 16-55 and a 55-210 for 1246.00.
I'm leaning toward the 2 lens package but is there an advantage to the 18-135?
Thanks, Waltman


You lose a little on the long end with the 18-135, but you aren't changing lenses. It's a trade-off that you have to evaluate according to your needs.
