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

What a Lens!

I've been using an EF-S 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 lens on my old Rebel, which was the crappy one that came with the camera, forever. It's taken me years to decide on a general purpose lens that would take the place of the one I'm employing.

Great lens

I bought this lens as a kit together with a 550D and I can really recommend to invest a bit more and choose this lens rather than going for the 18-55mm kit version. From my perspective, the focal length of the Canon EF-S 18-135mm covers really a wide range of shooting situations.
Pros:
  • Consistent Output
  • Durable
  • Quick Focus
  • Sharp Focus

"Excellent"

I purchased this lens for my SLR camera and i must say that i did try a few different lens and this 1 seemed to come out on top, It has a more imprssive exposure than most of its competiters and helps give the crisp and clean effect most people want from they're pictures.
Pros:
  • Brilliant clear exposure
Cons:
  • no diadvantages yet

Mistakes were made

I read the reviews and thought I'd take a chance. You certainly get what you pay for. I won't ever use this lens and now I need to save up for a real lens before I can make money with my camera. Disappointment does not begin to describe my feelings.
Pros:
  • Easily Interchangeable
  • Consistent Output
  • Durable
Cons:
  • Only for baby pics
  • Lens Creep
  • Poor in Low Light
