Review on New Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Standard Zoom Lens for Canon DSLR Cameras (White Box) by Anastazja Kocioek ᠌

As a regular lens, I use it with the 500D, and I find that it works perfectly for me. All lenses suffer from these issues to a more or lesser degree; nonetheless, the 18-135 performs fairly well considering its price point, and the most of these issues can be easily fixed in post-production software. I read reviews, and some of them mentioned something called "soap soap." I don't know if these are actual specimens; perhaps the owners have particularly large hands, or perhaps they have very high standards. Yet, you cannot expect the same level of sharpness with a zoom greater than 10,000 as you would from an L-fix. Only at a broad angle, between 30 and 135 degrees sharp, can I produce a lather. My zoom lens is sharp all the way up to 135 millimeters, in contrast to how most zoom lenses become less sharp as they get longer. Buying this lens was a decision I have never once come to regret. There are workarounds for thoughtful creativity as well as for contrived photos, and this lens is designed for traveling, walking, and street photography. And it works wonderfully for these kinds of jobs. I'd give him a score of four for the quality, but he gets a five-plus for pricing, quality, ease, and functionality.
