Canon EF-S 18-135mm Zoom Lens
The Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM is a new zoom lens built for Canon APS-C cameras. It covers a focal range of 18 to 135 mm with a maximum aperture of f/3.5 at the wide end and f/5.6 at the telephoto end. Optical image stabilisation and a stepping motor deliver quiet, smooth autofocus suited to both stills and video. The lens uses a 67 mm filter thread and an inner focusing system.
Suits creators wanting one lens for travel
Photographers who need a wider maximum aperture for low-light work or shallow depth of field should consider other options. The variable aperture reaches only f/5.6 at 135 mm, limiting background separation at longer focal lengths. Full-frame Canon bodies cannot use this EF-S mount lens. Buyers who require weather sealing or a constant aperture through the zoom range will need a different model.
EF-S mount limits use to APS-C Canon EOS cameras
This lens mounts only on Canon EOS bodies that accept EF-S optics, which are APS-C format cameras. It will not fit full-frame Canon cameras or other brand systems. The 67 mm filter diameter and inner focusing design are fixed specifications that determine accessory compatibility. Verify your camera accepts EF-S lenses before purchase.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 18-135mm zoom or a prime lens for my APS-C Canon?
The 18-135mm covers wide-angle to telephoto in one lens, while a prime offers a single focal length. Choose the zoom for versatility across 74.2 to 11.3 degree angles of view.
What does the f/3.5-5.6 aperture range mean when shooting indoors?
At 18mm the maximum aperture is f/3.5, narrowing to f/5.6 at 135mm. In low light you will need higher ISO or slower shutter speeds at the long end.
How does the EF-S mount limit which cameras I can use this lens on?
The EF-S mount fits only Canon APS-C DSLRs. It cannot be mounted on full-frame EF or RF bodies without an adapter that does not exist for this design.
