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

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

Although lacking in some areas of the performance, this lens is actually a lot of fun to use. The results are bright and crisp at wide to mid apertures, although admittedly falling off quite dramatically at longer lengths and smaller apertures.

It is a great travel lens and has the benefit of the add-on Power Zoom Adapter, which may well be an exciting development for videographers.
