This Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens is a versatile zoom that is perfect for both still photography and video. It is designed specifically for APS-C-format DSLRs and offers a 28.8-216mm equivalent lens. The lens incorporates NANO USM technology, which provides a fast and still-optimized ring-type Ultrasonic Motor, as well as a smooth and silent video-optimized stepping motor. This combination results in exceptional all-around focusing performance, making it an ideal choice for multimedia content creators. The dual-purpose AF motor ensures quick performance throughout the zoom range, allowing for responsive shooting from near to far distances.

Furthermore, this lens supports both photo and movie recording with the added benefit of an Image Stabilizer system that combats up to four stops of camera shake for improved handheld shooting. It is also adaptable to the optional PZ-E1 Power Zoom Adapter, enhancing zoom control and performance. Designed to meet the growing demands of video integration in photography, this zoom lens offers versatile focus handling and a wide-angle to telephoto range.

The optical design includes an ultra-low dispersion element and an aspherical element to minimize chromatic aberrations and enhance clarity and sharpness. Additionally, spherical aberrations and distortions are reduced throughout the zoom range.

• A standard zoom designed for APS-C-format Canon DSLRs, this 18-135mm lens provides a 28.8-216mm equivalent focal length range that covers wide-angle to telephoto perspectives.
• The optical design incorporates one UD element and one aspherical element to minimize chromatic and spherical aberrations throughout the zoom range for increased clarity.
• Super Spectra coating has been applied to individual elements to minimize ghosting and flare for greater contrast and color neutrality when working in strong lighting conditions.
• NANO USM system utilizes both a ring type USM and an STM mechanism to realize quick and accurate focusing that is also smooth and near-silent to suit both photography and video applications. This focusing system also affords full-time manual focus control when working in the one-shot AF mode.
• An Image Stabilizer compensates for up to four stops of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting when working in difficult lighting conditions and with slower shutter speeds.
• A rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when working with selective focus and shallow depth of field techniques.
• The optional PZ-E1 Power Zoom Adapter can be used for smoother, more natural and silent zooming control when recording video.
