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

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.

I have had this lens for about a month now and used it quite a lot, I am taking photos almost every day. I also had the previous version of this lens which was OK but didn't get that much use.

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

Conclusions The Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM is a solid zoom lens. It delivers crisper images than the 18-55mm that ships with many entry-level Rebel cameras, and more than doubles its zoom range.

7.5x zoom ratio; Crisp optics; Smooth Live View focus; Optical stabilization; Power Zoom accessory available

Shows some distortion; Dim corners at widest aperture

This lens basically lives on my Canon C100. It has a great zoom range, it's lightweight, compact, and sharp. With the addition of the PZ-E1 Power Zoom Adapter, it operates much like an ENG lens, capable of smooth zoom shots.

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

The EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens, which has been released as the standard kit lens for the new Canon EOS 80D camera, updates the previous EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens , which we reviewed in July 2012.
