  • Versatile 18-135mm zoom covers wide to telephoto needs

Versatile APS-C Zoom Lens

The Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM covers a 28.8-216mm equivalent range on APS-C DSLRs. Its variable aperture runs from f/3.5 to f/38 across the zoom. One UD element and one aspherical element help control chromatic aberration. The Super Spectra coating reduces flare and ghosting in mixed lighting.

NANO USM Focus and Stabilisation

NANO USM combines a ring-type ultrasonic motor for quick stills focus with a stepping motor for smooth, silent video focus. The system stays responsive from 18mm to 135mm. Optical image stabilisation corrects up to four stops of camera shake for steadier handheld shots. A rounded 7-blade diaphragm produces pleasing background blur.

Upgrade from Kit Zooms

This lens replaces shorter kit zooms when you need longer reach without swapping glass. The jump is worth it for photographers and videographers who want one lens for wide-angle to telephoto scenes. It is not for shooters requiring a constant f/2.8 aperture or full-frame coverage. The optional PZ-E1 adapter adds powered zoom control for video work.

Questions about this item

How loud is the NANO USM motor when recording video all day?

The NANO USM system combines a ring-type ultrasonic motor for stills with a stepping motor for silent video focusing, so operation stays quiet during extended recording sessions.

Which camera body and mount do I need to attach this lens?

An APS-C format Canon DSLR with an EF-S mount is required; the lens provides a 28.8-216mm equivalent zoom range on that sensor size.

Will the Image Stabilizer compensate for shake on my older APS-C DSLR?

The built-in Optical Image Stabilizer delivers up to four stops of shake correction on any compatible EF-S mount APS-C body, independent of the camera's age.
