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

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

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

returned for replacement
Camera lens auto focus broke within one week and you could hear grating/rattling from lens. Returned lens for replacement and I'm waiting for a new one to arrive soon. Worked great until it broke down though...
Pros:
- Easily Interchangeable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus

The much Better Option!
If you are going to buy your first Canon DSLR like the 1100D, 550D or even the 60D then do opt for the better kit lens, that is the Canon 18-135. Why? Well you will outgrow the 18-55 soon. Optically this one is far better than the 18-55 kit and you will have this on your camera for a longer time.
