Product Overview

Canon EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS USM is an all-in-one zoom lens for Canon EF-mount. It covers the APS-C image circle. Introduced by Canon in 2016, it has 16 elements in 12 groups.
Like most zoom lenses, the Canon EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS USM is externally-zooming. Unfortunately, Canon has opted to omit weather sealing for this lens, so owners should pay extra attention when shooting in incremental weathers.
An all-in-one zoom lens, the Canon EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS USM trades some performance for versatility, though the most discerning photographers may find the image quality hardly satisfactory. The lens is also stabilized, making it even easier to use.
