The Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS is an inexpensive all-purpose 7x zoom lens (only for APS-C cameras with the EF-S bayonett mount) equipped with a 4-stop optical image stabilizer that switches automatically between static image stabilization and panning for object tracking. The optical scheme includes one UD element and two aspherical lenses. The Super Spectra coating was applied for minimizing halation and flare. A convenient range of focal lengths and good ergonomics make it possible to use it as an unchangeable travel zoom lens.

Period of use: 5 months

Strengths:

Convenient focal lengths, from a wide corner to телевика, Equivalent focal length for film 35-mm - the 29-216th therefore it is possible not to remove from a body. The fine color rendition, well washes away a background, the picture not rigid and not too soft - normal, as well as should be, modern (the release beginning - October 2009г.) Sharp, exact. The auto focus motor, though not USM, but personally on speed and noise doesn't cause complaints in me, the forward lens when focusing is motionless. Plastic pleasant, strong. Lens not the bulky.

Weaknesses:

There is no manual operational development of focus in the AF mode, it is necessary to be switched to a manualny mode. Pravdo in operational development also isn't present need. It is danger in попыхах to damage an auto focus rather, but the easy scrolling exists. When aiming on sharpness the focusing ring therefore it is necessary to watch that the hand didn't interfere with this rotation rotates. In a wide-angle mode (18мм) the distorsiya (a prospect curvature) is visible, but the notable is easily corrected in PhotoShop (e), but space coverage! That else... a trunk vyezzhaniye under a body weight - decisions, this such as a problem can find in the Internet, much. A dust - well and how without it? Okuratnost, here recipe.

The picture on 18-135 me is pleasant
