I am an avid CANON user. Purchased the 60D and this lens came in the kit. Used it as much as a professional level user for over two years. The lens popped out a couple of months ago but I feel that I got every penny's worth of use from that lens.

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.

Easily Interchangeable; Consistent Output; Durable

Only for baby pics; Lens Creep; Poor in Low Light

My experience with Canon's lenses over the past 15 years have been nothing but excellence. And, they keep on improving their lenses, as well.

Light; Image Stabilizer(off or on); quick and responsive; FAST! Wide and Zoom

none

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

The Canon EF-S 18-135 mm lens is an all-purpose telezoom for Canon SLRs. It has an EF-S mount, and the field of view is equivalent to 29-216 on a 35 mm film camera. It has an image sstabilizer that can allow you up to 4 stops slower shutter speeds than without it.

The Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM is an affordable new super-zoom lens for Canon's APS-C DSLR cameras. Offering an equivalent focal length of 29-216mm, the Canon EF-S 18-55mm features a newly developed Nano USM motor for fast, smooth and quiet continuous AF while capturing video and in live...

Gary Wolstenholme takes a look at this lightweight 7.5x superzoom lens for EF-S compatible Canon cameras with Image Stabilisation.

Good resolution at optimum apertures; Lightweight design; Effective Image Stabiliser

Chromatic Aberrations at 18mm; Barrel distortion at 18mm; No lens hood supplied

Bad lens.

erratic AF; awful CA; really short sharpening

good use range; good color; fast AF ***

The build quality of the Canon lens is slightly better compared to the typical low-end/"budget" class zoom lenses by Canon. The plastic quality is quite decent and the lens feels pretty "tight" in terms of build tolerances. The mount is made of metal.

Bought the latest Canon 18-135 Nano USM lens to replace the original 18-55 on my 550D. Also wanted to be able to use the lens for video work with a power zoom. This lens fits the bill perfectly.

Amazing price through Pixmania and came with an unexpected lens hood
