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.

quick auto-focus; flexible focal range

not as sharp as some; poor manual focus ring

This was my first lens on my first Canon 70D. I was very happy with the way the lens focused, held focus and worked generally. Colours and contrast have always turned out very well.It is virtually silent for video.

Acceptable build quality Metal mount Very good image quality Good 'feel

None; given the price

I do portait, indoors and outdoor photography. This lens allows me to be in many places at one time sort of speak. Tt's range and ease make it so I can shoot in good light and in semi low light conditions. With great results.

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 bought this lense to add to my bag and have found that it is great all around walk around lense when you dont want to carry multiple with you.

cant find one

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.

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.

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

Lens was purchased as a gift for my wife and she loves it. Good quality lens for the price. Would recomend this lens.

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Quick Focus

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.

Brilliant clear exposure

no diadvantages yet

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.

Consistent Output; Durable; Quick Focus; Sharp Focus
