Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens

A versatile zoom optimized for both stills and video, the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM is a 28.8-216mm equivalent lens designed for APS-C-format DSLRs. Incorporating NANO USM technology, this lens is characterized by its combination of a fast, stills-optimized ring-type Ultrasonic Motor and smooth, silent video-optimized Stepping Motor for all-around focusing performance to benefit multimedia image-makers. This dual-purpose AF motor also offers notably quicker performance throughout the zoom range for more responsive shooting from near to far. Additionally, also aiding both photo and movie recording, an Image Stabilizer system compensates for up to four stops of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting, and a Dynamic IS function specifically helps to reduce camera shake when recording video.

The NANO USM autofocus is impressively quiet and smooth, which made tracking moving subjects feel effortless during a family outing. It’s sharp across most of the 18-135mm range, and the stabilization really helps when shooting handheld in lower light.
