Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM

The Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM ($549.99 direct) is one of only two lenses from Canon that use STM focusing motors, the other being the EF 40mm f/2.8 STM . When paired with the new EOS Rebel T4i D-SLR these lenses provide smooth, silent...

Silent motor. Smooth video focus with T4i. Optically stabilized

Some distortion. Not quite as sharp as non-STM version of lens

Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM review by johnheiam

Compared to the Canon 28 - 135mm IS USM lens it is sharper in the center, and less sharp in the corners for all focal lengths. In general I prefer it to the 28 - 135mm IS USM lens.

Decent build quality, sharp images, light weight

a little slow to focus even in bright light

An updated standard zoom lens with a new stepping motor drive for quiet auto focusing while shooting movies.

We found a significant improvement in AF performance when the review lens was used on the EOS 650D body. It wasn't quite as fast on the EOS 1100D so the gains probably result from improvements to the camera's AF system. They were most evident in low...
