Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens

Providing a focal length range equivalent to 29-216mm in 35mm format, the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS covers both wide enough angles for landscape photography...

Great value walk-around lens

This lens is a worthy alternative to the standard kit lens for your crop-sensor Canon SLR. The very flexible focal range and fast, accurate auto-focus make it a good option to stick on the front of your camera if you want to leave the rest of your kit at home for the day.
Pros:
  • quick auto-focus
  • flexible focal range
Cons:
  • not as sharp as some
  • poor manual focus ring

A great EF-S APS sized zoom lens that covers a mild wide angle to telephoto range. The 4 stops IS marketing fluff is true. It tested it down to 1/4 of a second and the images come out crisp and clean as against IS being turned off where camera shake and blur really shows.
Pros:
  • A wonderful image range of 18-135mm (29-216mm), REAL Image Stabilization rated at 4 stops
  • 3 stops rating on other reviews, but hey, 3 to 4 stops is great feature, The difference between a non IS and IS on a 70-200mm white lens is over a thousand dollars.
Cons:
  • It looks like a plain cheap cylinder, not a sexy lusty lens
  • It doesn't demand attention as the more sexy L and white lenses, Soft at the wide angle end, for the pixel conscious
  • Set to F8 and sharpness improves dramatically

Happy with my Canon's EF-S 18-135mm

Very versatile, the quality of this lens is superb, giving me clean, clear shots under all lighting conditions in the field...in any terrain, and from most angles. The range (18-135mm) enables me to easily frame the old barns and sheds I photographin the way I want to frame them.
Pros:
  • Consistent Output
  • Easily Interchangeable
  • Fast / accurate auto-focus
  • Lightweight
