Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 STM Lens

Best budget zoom lense I have ever used.

We bought this lens for my wife who is using her first DSLR (a crop-sensor camera). Personally, after my experiences with a full-frame camera and large aperture L-class lenses, my expectations for Canon 18-135 lens were low. However, I after I saw her first pictures, I changed my opinion. Canon 18-135 is sharp, has great colors, excellent zoom range and suitable for all kinds of photography: landscapes, portraits and anything else that comes to your mind. Honestly, I often can't tell if a picture was taken with this lens or my L-class zoom on full frame until I look at the exif file.
Versatility: on the wide end 18mm corresponds to about 28 mm on the full frame camera. This is not super-wide, but wide enough, if you know how to compose your shot. 135 mm, on the other end equals 216 mm lens angle of view on the full frame and this is an awesome zoom capacity to carry around! BTW, bokeh looks very pleasant if your use it for portraits at the long end with f5.6 aperture. Ironically, a lens with this zoom range simply does not exists for Canon full-frame cameras. In summary, Canon 18-135 is the best walk around lens for a crop-sensor Canon camera at a very reasonable price. Vollständige Rezension lesen

Finally, my "walkaround" lens

I have quite an assortment of lenses, both longer and shorter, but I always seemed to have the wrong lens for the moment. This lens has finally hit the sweet spot and I'll probably be selling some of my collection. It's just the right range, very well built, and is not too long when zoomed. Importantly, it doesn't "fall out" into the zoom length, even without the zoom lock.

Performance-wise, it's very focus fast, smooth, and quiet. I ran a series of test shots immediately. the test shots and subsequent photos, confirmed that this lens can produce superior images that are very sharp, especially comparing them to some of the lenses I wanted to replace. I'm taking noticeably sharper and better photos now.

I think this lens is only available via camera package break-ups and not stand-alone from Canon. Don't know why - this should be a prime lens in their line-up.

I'm VERY happy with this lens.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Perfect lens for the Canon APS cameras

I use this 18 to 135 mm lens on my Canon T5. It has the equivalent full frame zoom range of 29 to 229 mm (almost 8x). The lens balances very nicely on the camera, and has easy to use controls. It is not too light (like the regular 18 to 55 kit lens) or to heavy (like some of the expensive L series lenses). I was surprised that I rarely had to reach for the 10 to 18 mm wide angle or the 70 to 300 mm telephoto. The pictures looked sharp, but you will have to hunt down a lens test review for actual resolution numbers.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM

The lens is a great beginner lens if your just looking for something to use without dropping loads of dough on expensive glass. The new STM AF motor is lightning fast and dead silent. The only problem with the STM is that there isn't an exact position of the ring that correlates to focusing distance so you can't use a follow focus system very effectively with this lens. A big plus is the long zoom range from a wide 18mm to a medium telephoto of 135mm. Overall, the lens works great for travel (all in one) and some video work (fast AF) but it's not the sharpest.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Very fine lens at a modest price

The most useful APS-C lens for most advanced amateur or semi-pro photographers. You will leave this fine lens on your camera most of the time - no matter what or where you are shooting. It combines a wonderful zoom range, good build quality, fine ergonomics and decent price. It's smooth and sharp and compact and the front element doesn't rotate during zooming so you can mount a petal lens hood if you wish. If you carry only one lens for your crop sensor Canon DSLR - this is it.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Canon EFS 18-135mm IS STM

I love this lens. Managed to find a good used one. This lens seems to be the perfect choice for capturing two active grandsons. It's so much quieter than the kit lens. The pictures that weren't in focus were more user error. I haven't used the lens for video yet but imagine without the focus noise of the kit lens, it will be an improvement. It's quite a bit heavier than the 18-55 lens but not so much as to make photo shoots uncomfortable in my small hands. After a year of indecision, I'm happy I went for it.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Happy photographer

I am not a professional photographer but one thing I can say is that the outcome of the pictures I have taken with this lens were great. Easy to use. The attachment that comes with the kit were easy to install by a beginner like me.... I look like a professional photographer. I am very satisfied with the lens and the fast shipment.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Awesome for videos and all around stills

I've taken around 500 stills and a couple hours of videos to test this lens and it works perfectly. It's practically silent while focusing during video and has a fast sharp focus when taking stills as well. it works perfectly for sports shots where movement usually blurs your pics.

I'm using this lens with the Canon EOS T5I DSLR and it is a perfect match.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Really Fast and is My walk-around lens

With a zoom of 18-135MM this lens covers 90% of my shooting situations. It is fast to focus and the zoom is smooth with no zoom creep. For best results use your camera's shooting modes. i.e. portrate for faces, micro for super close shots, etc. Also use the view finder for the best color.Vollständige Rezension lesen
