hi there sifus! wanted to ask.
I'm going to purchase a Sony SLT-A37 in about 2 weeks time.
i've narrowed it down to two sets. One that comes with a 18-135mm zoom lens and another that comes with 18-55mm zoom lens.
question is, what's the difference between the 2 lens? is it worth it to go for the 18-135mm? the differrence in price for the two is about RM300-400

im using the camera mostly for video, pictures is pretty much a plus for me.

As what the name of the lens sad, the 18-135 gives you 80mm more zoom compared to the 18-55. It all depends on you to buy which one, each of them has the cons and pros. The 18-135 gives you more zoom, but at a higher price and bulkier package, while the 18-55 gives you less zoom, at a lower price and smaller to carry around.

so it's just the zoom and nothing more right?not like one can give sharper pictures or anything? size-wise, i don't really care, it's the functions that im worried about  blush.gif

If you are taking videos, I don't think the little difference between sharpness matters to you. tongue.gif

I am not a Sony user, but theorically, the 18-135 should be a little less sharp than the 18-55 since it is more complex in lens construction.
