Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens (Canon EF-S)
All-in-One High-Ratio Standard-to-Telephoto Zoom – Versatile 18-135mm Focal Range (28.8-216mm Full-Frame 35mm Equivalent), Optical Image Stabilizer (IS) System for Camera Shake Reduction, Advanced Optical Design (One Ultra-Low Dispersion [UD] Element, One Aspherical Element), Super Spectra Multi-Coating, Micro Motor Autofocus System with On-Barrel AF/MF Selector, Rounded 6-Blade Diaphragm, High 7.5x Optical Zoom Ratio, Includes Front Snap-On Cap and Rear Dust Cap, Native Canon EF-S Mount (Good Condition)

The Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS is a versatile all-in-one standard-to-telephoto zoom lens engineered specifically for APS-C-format Canon DSLRs (also fully compatible with EOS R mirrorless cameras via EF-to-RF mount adapters). Providing a practical 28.8-216mm full-frame 35mm equivalent focal length range, this optic spans true wide-angle landscape framing, street candids, family portraits, and distant telephoto sports or wildlife capture. Designed as a flexible single-lens travel solution, it eliminates the need to change optics in the field while maintaining a compact, portable form factor. An integrated Optical Image Stabilizer (IS) actively combats camera shake, enabling sharper handheld photography at slower shutter speeds and delivering smooth composition through the optical viewfinder in challenging low-light conditions.

The optical formula utilizes 16 elements in 12 groups, incorporating one Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) glass element alongside a precision aspherical element. This specialized layout minimizes chromatic fringing, secondary spectrum color aberrations, and spherical distortion across the entire 7.5x focal span to yield clean edge-to-edge sharpness. Elements are treated with Canon’s Super Spectra multi-coating to suppress internal reflections, flare, and ghosting, preserving rich contrast and natural color balance in direct sunlight or backlit scenes. Autofocus is powered by a dependable Micro Motor drive system with an accessible AF/MF toggle switch on the barrel. Outfitted with a rounded 6-blade diaphragm for natural background blur and supplied with protective front and rear caps, this everyday superzoom delivers dependable all-around utility.

CONDITION DIAGNOSTICS & PHYSICAL NOTES

Included Components: ESSENTIAL ALL-IN-ONE ZOOM LENS OUTFIT. Supplied with the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens, genuine Canon 67mm front snap-on lens cap, and Canon rear EF-mount dust cap. (Lens hood, camera bodies, and screw-in filters sold separately unless pictured).

Exterior & Barrel Status: GOOD CONDITION. The matte black textured composite polymer chassis, ribbed rubber zoom ring, manual focus ring, and bayonet mount show typical cosmetic signs of standard field handling, including light exterior surface scuffs and shallow finish rub marks along the outer chassis contours. All printed focal length markers, Canon branding, and Image Stabilizer badging remain clean, sharp, and fully legible.

Optical Status: GOOD CONDITION. Both external front and rear optical glass surfaces are clean and free of deep scratches, gouges, haze, fungus, or element separation. The internal optical assembly contains scattered dust particles typical of telescoping superzoom optics; rigorous optical bench testing confirms that these internal specks do not impact resolving power, image contrast, or color fidelity across normal working apertures. Super Spectra multi-coatings remain fully intact.

Mechanical & Electronic Status: FULLY FUNCTIONAL. The Micro Motor autofocus drive acquires focus quickly, accurately, and smoothly; the physical AF/MF toggle switch clicks firmly into place; the zoom barrel extends and retracts across the entire 18-135mm range with uniform mechanical resistance; the Optical Image Stabilizer engages cleanly and steadies the viewfinder image; the 6-blade rounded diaphragm stops down crisply with zero sticking or oil residue; electronic EF-S mount contacts communicate aperture control and Exif metadata reliably with zero error codes.

KEY FEATURES & PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

Broad 7.5x Focal Range: Spans 28.8mm wide-angle vistas through 216mm telephoto reach on APS-C sensors, serving as an all-in-one walkaround and travel optic.

Optical Image Stabilizer (IS): Built-in optical stabilization minimizes the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld exposures and steady viewfinder framing in low light.

Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) Element: Reduces color fringing and chromatic aberrations across the zoom throw to maintain edge clarity and color accuracy.

Precision Aspherical Element: Actively controls spherical aberrations and optical distortion throughout the zoom range for sharp image rendering.

Super Spectra Multi-Coating: Minimizes internal reflections, ghosting, and flare to deliver contrast-rich photos with neutral color rendition in backlit scenes.

Micro Motor Autofocus Drive: Provides responsive focusing performance with a tactile on-barrel AF/MF toggle switch for fast manual focus transitions.

Rounded 6-Blade Diaphragm: Engineered with 6 curved blades to produce smooth, natural bokeh and circular out-of-focus background highlights.

Unified 67mm Filter Thread: Compatible with widely available 67mm screw-in filters, including polarizers, protective UV filters, and neutral density filters.
