Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS - Review / Lab Test Report

The build quality of the Canon lens is slightly better compared to the typical low-end/"budget" class zoom lenses by Canon. The plastic quality is quite decent and the lens feels pretty "tight" in terms of build tolerances. The mount is made of metal.

Great versatile lens

I purchased this lens with my new Canon 80D. I have find it to be my "go to" for most of my photography! My first assignment was photographing our local rodeo! I was amazed at the quality and crisp images! I am traveling to Europe and I plan on using this as my primary lens!

Pros:
  • Easily Interchangeable
  • Fast / accurate auto-focus

Not worth the money

I have owned a Canon EF-S 18-135 for 18 months. I would categorize this lens as "adequate" as a kit lens, but not worth purchasing separately. The build quality is reasonably good but not great, and the image stabilization very good, but unfortunately the other features are limited and the optical...

Long term use

I purchased this lens with a 7D. I found it to be a great range, as I did not use the 10-24 a lot even while shooting scenery in Alaska for the summer. However, I am now faced with a large repair or replacement cost, as it does not focus smoothly and will change the zoom range when focusing.
