Good value for money, I recommend it.

Worth your money. Particularly suitable for video recording. In dusty places it is better not to use or think about how to protect. Pros below: The focal range covers most of my needs (YouTube channel of construction topics). Instant, tenacious autofocus. Silent focus motor. Metal bayonet. Good optical stub. Cons below: When zooming from extreme to extreme, it dust like a vacuum cleaner. There is no tightness at all. After 5 months of use, I took it to MOT (cleaning with complete disembly)…

Great all-around lens!

This lens is an excellent all-around option for photographers of all levels. As my tests showed, the image stabilization is top-notch, making it easy to capture clear and sharp shots even in low light situations. The focus is fast and accurate, and the zoom range is versatile enough to capture anything from wide landscapes to close-up portraits. The only drawback is that it's not the most budget-friendly option on the market.

Pros
  • Excellent image stabilization, versatile zoom range, fast and accurate focus.
Cons
  • Pricey compared to other similar lenses.

The best thing I've ever used, a great item for everyone!

I am completely satisfied. From the whole park of glasses I left 50 / 1.4; 70-200/2.8; and this one is 18-135. Some pros: Great all-rounder for travel. Sharp, fast, quiet. I stopped taking a tamron 17-50 2,8 with me - this is enough for an eye, and it also wins in sharpness. Cons below: Unless nit-picking like moisture protection - but no one expects the L-series constructive.

A nice option for the money, one of the best deals.

Universal zoom for "cropped" Canon cameras. Used for reportage shooting of outdoor events and is excellent for this. If your camera ISO 3200 is more or less working, you can shoot indoors without a flash. Before that, I used the first version of 18-135 for two years, everything is fine, but the noisy autofocus motor was not suitable for shooting video. Here, focusing is fast and almost silent. In silence, a very, very quiet sound is heard, a click during tracking autofocus, but it is not heard…

Pros
  • Convenient range of focal lengths, good picture quality, quiet and fast focusing, relatively small size (shorter than the first version 18-135), good optical stabilizer, good workmanship and assembly, very nice soft focus ring travel in manual mode.
Cons
  • It’s a bit dark (but light zooms are generally rare, they cost different money and the range of focal lengths is small there), there is no moisture and dust protection (in any case, its presence is not declared, but I don’t want to check it myself).
