Rent NowThe Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM is a versatile standard zoom lens designed for Canon APS-C DSLR cameras. Covering a wide-angle to telephoto focal length range, this lens offers a 35mm-equivalent range of approximately 29-216mm, making it suitable for landscapes, portraits, travel, events, and everyday photography. Its extensive zoom range provides flexibility for capturing a variety of subjects without frequently changing lenses.
The lens features an advanced optical design incorporating aspherical and Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) elements to help minimize chromatic aberrations, distortion, and other optical imperfections. These elements contribute to sharp images with accurate color reproduction throughout the zoom range. Its compact construction also makes it a practical option for photographers seeking an all-purpose lens for regular use.
Canon’s Optical Image Stabilization system provides up to four stops of shake correction, helping reduce the effects of camera movement when shooting handheld or working with slower shutter speeds. The lens also incorporates Dynamic Image Stabilization for compatible video recording modes, helping minimize unwanted camera movement when recording while walking or tracking moving subjects.
Equipped with Canon’s Stepping Motor (STM) autofocus system, the lens provides smooth and quiet focusing performance for both still photography and video recording. When paired with compatible Canon DSLR cameras featuring Movie Servo AF, the STM system allows continuous autofocus adjustments during video recording with reduced operational noise. The internal focusing design and optimized autofocus system also contribute to responsive focusing performance.
The 18-135mm focal length range allows photographers to transition from wide-angle compositions to tighter telephoto framing. At 18mm, the lens is suitable for landscapes, interiors, and group photographs, while the longer focal lengths provide additional reach for portraits, distant subjects, and outdoor photography. Its variable f/3.5-5.6 maximum aperture helps maintain a relatively compact and lightweight design.
The lens features a dedicated zoom ring, manual focus ring, and a zoom lock switch designed to prevent unwanted lens extension during transportation. Its straightforward controls provide convenient operation, while the compact construction makes it suitable for travel and extended handheld shooting.
Designed specifically for Canon EF-S mount DSLR cameras, the lens is compatible with a variety of Canon APS-C EOS models. It is not compatible with Canon full-frame EF-mount DSLR cameras. The lens may also be used with compatible Canon mirrorless cameras through an appropriate mount adapter.
