Canon EF-S 18-135mm Zoom Lens
This Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens covers a wide 18 to 135mm zoom range for APS-C sensor cameras. It uses NANO USM technology for fast, near-silent autofocus during stills and smooth focus transitions for video. Dynamic IS reduces camera shake when shooting handheld movies. The lens is compatible with the optional Power Zoom Adapter PZ-E1 for motorised zoom control.
Versatile All-in-One for Stills and Video
The flexible focal range suits photographers wanting a single lens for landscapes, portraits and sports action without changing glass. Videographers benefit from quiet focusing and stabilisation during moving shots. Buyers needing a constant maximum aperture throughout the zoom range or full-frame image circle coverage should look at other options.
NANO USM Autofocus System
The NANO USM motor combines Ring USM speed with STM smoothness to deliver 4.3x faster telephoto and 2.5x faster wide-angle AF driving speed. This directly determines how quickly the lens locks onto subjects for stills and how silently it tracks during video recording. It is the core technology that defines this lens's performance character.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 18-135mm zoom or a shorter kit lens for my APS-C EOS?
The 18-135mm range covers wide-angle to short telephoto on an APS-C sensor, so you can shoot landscapes at 18 mm and portraits or sports at 135 mm without changing lenses.
How does the f/3.5-5.6 aperture behave when I zoom from wide to telephoto?
At 18 mm the maximum aperture is f/3.5, narrowing to f/5.6 at 135 mm; expect slower shutter speeds or higher ISO at the long end, especially indoors.
What does the EF-S mount mean for compatibility and autofocus speed?
The EF-S mount fits only APS-C EOS bodies; NANO USM drives AF up to 4.3x faster at telephoto and 2.5x faster at wide angle versus the previous USM design, and works with the optional PZ-E1 Power Zoom Adapter for smooth video zoom.
