    8.5/10
    30 November 2009

    Announced at the beginning of September, this new Canon standard zoom lens was designed to complement the EOS 7D body on which we tested it. Providing a focal length range equivalent to 29-216mm in 35mm format, the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS covers both wide enough angles for landscape photography and is narrow enough for portraiture and sports photography. It's an excellent step-up from the standard kit lens for buyers who would like a longer zoom range. Read more

  1. Great Allrounder

    Reviewer: Sport101, Camerasdirect
    7 August 2011

    I bought this lens to replace the 18-55 that came with my camera. I always seemed to be looking for that little bit of reach from the zoom, and didn't always want to carry a second lens. The 18-135 has been great. I have been using it for about 2 weeks now, and to be honest haven't had the need to swap lenses since. This lens does cast a prounounced vignette at f3.5 but I always shoot in RAW and a one click correction in DPP fixes that. Read more
