Review: Good upgrade from Kit Lens - Canon's partiality to EF-S segment - This lens is a good upgrade from a range wise from the kit lens with was little restrictive at 55 mm. I was seriously considering switchin to Nikon D90 systme with the 18-105 VR lens and 70-300 mm VR lenses. I am not a professional to invest in L or high end Nikkor glasses. But at the same time wanted decent quality. The issue with Canon , though off-late they seem to address is making quality lenses for the APS-C size camera. And for the very reason I stated, the best quality lenses are reserved for the pros or serious amateurs. I wanted to get the 18-200 but heard of its IQ issues, considered 28-135 lens, but same there with IQ, though build quality was great and had USM. 17-85 f2.8 is in L territory. So as I was about to make the decision to jump, canon released this and the 15-85 USM EFS lenses. I would say that was a move that canon should have done long back. So I purchased this one and so far it has been impressive. Even without USM, the focus speed is good. As usual pretty sharp through 5.6 to f11. Can gget some good bokeh when zoomed out to 135 and shooting closeby subjects. I have a 50mm 1.4 for that anyway. Good walkaround lens when I just need the camer and one lens and dont want to carry my full gear. For those looking to make a decision, I would say it is worthwhile. You wont get L quality, but very competent within what you get, good image stabilization. Decent zoom range. On the price I would suggest getting it under $350...I got mine for $325 from a market place vendor who made prompt UPS delivery - but I no longer see this price. As usual the price on desertcart fluctuates like stock market. Review: Excellent midrange multi-use lens - I'll leave the detailed reviews to others, and there have been some very good ones posted here. I'd just like to add a few observations and comments. This lens does an excellent job for a wide-to-medium telephoto zoom. The focus motor is not USM, but it's quick and not very noisy. It's noticeably lighter than the f/2.8 Tamron 28-75mm non-IS zoom that it's replacing even though the dimensions are the same. It produces more zoom range, quicker focusing, and sharper images than the Tamron. Even with it being f/3.6, the Image Stabilization feature lets it get low-light pictures that the Tamron can't handle at f/2.8. IS seems to come on-line much quicker than the 18-55mm kit lens, which has about a 1/2-second delay for first use (or if it goes into standby mode). It seems solidly built, produces excellent and consistent results, and is comfortable to carry. I'm much more satisfied with this lens than I was with the slower-reacting 18-55mm kit lens. My wife is the serious photographer in the family, and I tried to find her something that I thought was not too heavy and bulky, yet had good zoom range, versatility, and consistency. I've found it in this lens. As a last note, this lens has been criticized in some outside reviews for vignetting at long zoom lengths. The Canon T2i's EOS Utility software has a database of Canon lenses, and it allows the camera to internally apply vignetting correction to pictures taken by this lens (and a few dozen others). The EOS utility even offers extensive remote control of the camera when attached to a computer by a USB cable. The versatile and powerful T2i, this lens, and a computer provide a formidable arsenal for serious photography. ## Features - 18-135mm lens with f3.5-f.5.6 aperture; for use with APS-C cameras - 35mm equivalent to 29mm-216mm focal length range - Dedicated image stabilization - Lens construction of 16 elements in 12 groups - Compatible with 67mm filters ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002NEGTT2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #285 in SLR Camera Lenses | | Brand | Canon | | Built-In Media | E-67 II 67mm Lens Cap, EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Standard Zoom Lens, Lens Dust Cap E (Rear), One Year Limited Warranty Card | | Camera Lens | Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 is Standard Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras (New, White Box) | | Color | Black | | Compatible Camera Mount | Canon EF-S | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (641) | | Exposure Control Type | Automatic, Manual | | Focal Length Description | Wide Angle to Medium Telephoto 18-135mm lens | | Focus Type | Auto Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00013803108644 | | Image stabilization | 4 stops | | Item Weight | 455 Grams | | Lens | Wide Angle to Telephoto | | Lens Coating Description | Super Spectra Coating | | Lens Design | Zoom | | Lens Fixed Focal Length | 135 Millimeters | | Lens Mount | Canon EF-S | | Manufacturer | Canon Cameras US | | Manufacturer Part Number | 3558B002 | | Maximum Aperture | 5.6 f | | Maximum Focal Length | 135 Millimeters | | Media Type | ProductImage, EnhancedContent | | Minimum Aperture | 38 f | | Minimum Focal Length | 18 Millimeters | | Model Name | ef-s | | Model Number | 3558B002 | | Number of Diaphragm Blades | 6 | | Photo Filter Size | 67 Millimeters | | Real Angle Of View | 74.33 Degrees | | Screen Size | 18 Inches | | UPC | 616348040112 616348040099 017566473568 616348040105 125896741230 616348040136 617689590021 616348040082 919248337628 013803108644 616348040129 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year limited | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Zoom Ratio | 7.5:1 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Canon - **Camera Lens Description:** Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 is Standard Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras (New, White Box) - **Compatible Mountings:** Canon EF-S - **Focal Length Description:** Wide Angle to Medium Telephoto 18-135mm lens - **Lens Type:** Wide Angle to Telephoto ## Images ![Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 is Standard Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras (New, White Box) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BicCrgzfL.jpg) ![Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 is Standard Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras (New, White Box) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71h8JWHlvDL.jpg) ![Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 is Standard Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras (New, White Box) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DWHkgJGqL.jpg) ![Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 is Standard Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras (New, White Box) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RZqNcRIfL.jpg) ![Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 is Standard Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras (New, White Box) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ZFVxPtobL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Customer Package Type** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Looking for something like a telephoto lense. Will this bring my subject closer ie band member to focus on?** A: Hi, yes this is a telephoto lens. It will bring your subject closer with out moving. This lens is for a crop sensor camera. This also has wide angle capability if you get close to the band and want to get everyone in the shot. **Q: What is the difference between Bulk packagin and Retial packaging?** A: Bulk packaging usually has no warranty information, instruction manuals, or labeling. Retail usually has the full graphics on the outside of the box and all the materials included. There can sometimes be warranty issues with bulk-packaged materials, but not always. Bulk is usually sold to merchandisers and repackagers directly or comes from extra or overstock lots. Your mileage may vary. **Q: Why is this es-f lens so expensive in comparison to es 75-300 and es-f 18-55 combine?** A: Your original 18-55 lens that comes with the camera will die after a few years, Cheaply made and I had to resort to my 75-300 and back way up to take pictures. I would have loved to have gotten a higher grade lens, but there are those budget restraints. **Q: what is the difference if it is STM or not?** A: The word β€œSTM” on Canon lenses refers to the autofocus system that the lens uses. STM stands for β€œStepping Motor” which is a focusing system that uses a geared motor to rotate the focus ring. Canon STM lenses have very quiet autofocusing making them great for video but are slower at getting focus compared to USM lenses. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good upgrade from Kit Lens - Canon's partiality to EF-S segment *by D***Y on April 19, 2010* This lens is a good upgrade from a range wise from the kit lens with was little restrictive at 55 mm.

So much for point and shoots, although my Canon S3 could take some nice portraits. Then comes the DSLR with the kit lens. Better, but still not like the inspiring, breathtaking images in the photography books. Then starts the itchy fingers over the wallet for something that will give me the, "Aha, this is what I wanted to express". OK, so after giving my XS away and getting an XSi, this lens finally got me the rich realism that I was looking for. Is it a 5D with an L lens? I know it isn't. But for myself and the people I want to share some of the special moments of life with, it can share that vision. So, if you feel that many of the people in your life, and the scenes that you see deserve to be brought out and shared in the way that can convey what you saw special in them, I think that you'll be happy with this lens. Update 6/16/10: To see some very good examples of what this lens can render, see the review at dpreview of the Canon EOS Rebel T2i 18 MP CMOS APS-C Digital SLR Camera with 3.0-Inch LCD and EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens . At the end of the review there are a lot of sample pictures (click on any one to see a slideshow), and the captions include which lens was used. They are full size and can give you a much better idea of the quality of the lens than the compressed pictures on Amazon. Update 4/1/11: It is true that shooting in low light without a flash does not get the best results. Best to have a good flash on hand, think Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash for Canon Digital SLR Cameras , and read a great book about on camera flash, i.e. On-Camera Flash Techniques for Digital Wedding and Portrait Photography and you can get exciting results. Update 4/26/11 After uploading two web albums to our family web site, one shot with a T2i and a 24-105L lens and another shot with a XSi and this lens, I asked a friend who is a professional photographer to try to tell which one was which. After saying that they were "both very good indeed", he said he couldn't tell the difference! And if he had to guess he would say that the photos shot with this lens were shot with the L lens! Both albums were post processed by me in Lightroom with various presets. Great quality for less than half the price. ## Frequently Bought Together - Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 is Standard Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras (New, White Box) - EW-73B Lens Hood Shade for Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 is(Not is USM),18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 is STM(Not USM),EF-S 17-85mm f/4.5-5.6 is USM SLR Lens,67MM Digital Tulip Flower Lens Hood Black - Tiffen 67UVP Slim 67mm UV Protection Filter for Camera Lens, Clear Optical Glass, Impact Resistant MADE IN USA --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1084804-canon-ef-s-18-135mm-f-3-5-5-6](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1084804-canon-ef-s-18-135mm-f-3-5-5-6) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
