The Canon EF-S 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS USM is a versatile zoom lens built for APS-C Canon DSLRs. With a 28.8-216mm equivalent range, it covers wide-angle to telephoto shots. Thanks to its compact design, it works well for both stills and video.

Advanced Autofocus with NANO USM

This lens uses Canon’s NANO USM technology. It combines the speed of a ring-type Ultrasonic Motor with the smoothness of a stepping motor. As a result, you get fast, accurate, and quiet autofocus for both photography and video. The AF system also allows full-time manual focus, giving you complete control when needed.

Image Stabilization and Video Support

To reduce blur, the built-in Image Stabilizer compensates for up to four stops of camera shake. This makes handheld shooting sharper in low light and at slower shutter speeds. Additionally, the lens supports the optional PZ-E1 Power Zoom Adapter, which provides smoother and more natural zooming for video creators.

High-Quality Optical Design

Canon designed this lens with one Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) element and one aspherical element. These minimize chromatic and spherical aberrations, resulting in sharp, clear, and color-accurate images. A Super Spectra Coating further reduces flare and ghosting, improving contrast even in strong lighting.

Creative Bokeh and Versatility

The rounded seven-blade diaphragm produces smooth, pleasing bokeh, perfect for portraits and selective focus techniques. Whether you shoot landscapes, travel, portraits, or video, this lens adapts easily to different styles.
