I broke my old 18 - 55mm lens and bought this one as a replacement due to being 18 a 135mm and not having to change lenses as often. It works well. It is much bigger and heavier though.

very good lens, very sharp and smooth ,great carry around lens, leave it on my canon 500d always unless want the 55-250is for distance.

I'm a casual amateur photographer. I photograph my children, landscapes and animals. The lens is a bit expensive, but it gives me greater range than the kit lens which I need for even casual photography. The lens is light and easy to use.

Consistent Output; Lightweight

It?s a simple prime lens and takes pictures with astonishing clarity. It?s one of those lenses that almost all professional photographers have in their kit. This lens is worth the price. Pics are coming out with very good image quality compared to the standard kit lenses.

I was looking for a new lens for a trip that I planned to Europe and after reading a lot of reviews on the internet at the end I decide to buy this lens and it was a great choise. Taking photos is my hobby so I'm not planning to buy super expensive lenses but if you are looking for a nice and cheap...

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...

The Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS is an older lens that lacks STM focusing capability, but is still a step up from your D-SLR's standard kit lens.

Very sharp; Long zoom range; Optically stabilized

Lacks STM capability; Some distortion

The Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS ($499.99 direct)  isn't the newest lens on the block, but it's still around despite a newer version being available. The newer lens is the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM -it's $50 more, and its STM motor delivers smoother video focus when used with a...

Canon EF-S 18-135 IS STM is a great walk around lens. Why? It has a nice range - from wide to mid-tele. It is an excellent for those times when you don't want to be bothered with changing the lenses (for example during vacations). I can put it on, and leave everything else at home.

Canon's newly designed EF-S 18-135mm IS STM is slightly smaller that the previous version, with a few improvements as well. They have re-developed the IS system, allowing you 4 full stops of correction.
