Canon EF-S 18-135mm (Used)
A flexible zoom designed for both stills and video recording, the Canon EF-S 18-135mm Lens is a 28.8-216mm equivalent wide-to-tele zoom designed for APS-C-format DSLRs. Benefitting multimedia image-makers, an STM stepping motor is used to deliver quick, quiet, and smooth focusing performance that works in conjunction with select cameras' Movie Servo AF.
An optical image stabilization system is also featured, to minimize the appearance of camera shake, and Dynamic IS specifically supports video applications by compensating for camera shake caused while walking during recording. Besides these performance attributes, the lens' optical design also incorporates one aspherical element and one UD element to reduce both spherical and chromatic aberrations for increased sharpness, clarity, and colour accuracy.
Designed to exceed expectations and ideal for video and still images alike, the new "Canon EF-S 18-135mm" marks a new standard for EF-S lenses. It features a refined Image Stabilization system that delivers up to four equivalent stops of shake correction throughout the zoom range; and offers a maximum magnification of 0.28x at the telephoto end, while remaining even more compact in size.
This EF-S lens supports the Canon EOS Rebel T4i DSLR's Movie Servo AF feature for smooth and quiet continuous AF during movie shooting by utilizing a new six-group zoom system and the adoption of a stepping motor and focus mechanism. High-speed autofocus is achieved thanks to an Inner focusing system, high-speed CPU, and optimized AF algorithm. Appearing for the first time in a Canon lens is Dynamic IS (Movie Shooting Mode only) that uses a wide image stabilization correction range to help ensure steady video while shooting when walking.
Whether shooting movies or stills, image quality is phenomenal, with one UD and one PMo aspheric lens providing high resolution and high contrast images with reduced chromatic aberration throughout the zoom range. A 7 blade, circular aperture ensures beautiful, soft backgrounds and optimized lens coatings ensure excellent colour with minimized ghosting and flare. A zoom ring lock even prevents the lens from accidently extending.

Canon EF-S 18-135mm
Versatile and powerful zoom
A compact, versatile lens suited to a variety of subjects and ideal for travel photography. A 18-135mm zoom range offers the same angle of view as a 29-216mm lens on a full-frame camera.
High speed autofocus
Fast autofocus locks onto subjects quickly and accurately. Full-time manual override is available without changing focus mode.
Shoot with AF in movies using STM technology
Movie Servo AF uses STM stepping motor technology for smooth quiet focusing when shooting video with compatible cameras.
Image Stabilizer for shooting movies and stills
Dynamic Image Stabilizer technology smoothes out vibrations and camera movements when shooting video. Image Stabilizer technology allows hand-held photography in low light without using flash or a tripod. Shutter speeds up to four stops longer than normal may be used without blur from camera shake.
Get close to your subject
Focus down to 0.39m at any zoom setting for a close-up view of your subject.

Fast Auto-Focus Speed
Fast and incredibly quiet, the EF-S 18—135mm f3.5—5.6 IS USM's new NANO USM AF system not only delivers high-speed AF, but also makes quiet, fast and smooth AF transitions that can be ideal for movie recording. Combining ring USM and STM (lead-screw type) features, the diminutive chip-shaped ultrasonic motor is engineered to help deliver high-speed, smooth, precise and near-silent operation, plus full-time manual focus (when using one-shot AF).
Thanks to its new NANO USM motor, the Canon EF-S 18—135mm f3.5—5.6 IS USM focuses incredibly fast — a clear advantage for action photography and for working on the fly. Compared to the previous model*, it focuses approximately 4.3 times* faster at the telephoto end, and 2.5 times* faster at the wide end when using the viewfinder, for a noticeable speed advantage that can help ensure a stellar photo.
* Based on Canon's standards. As compared to the EF-S 18—135mm f3.5—5.6 IS STM.
Optional Power Zoom accessory
The EF-S 18—135mm f3.5—5.6 IS USM is compatible with Canon's new Power Zoom Adapter PZ-E1 for electronically controlled zooming. This convenient accessory works with the lens to enhance an EOS camera's video capabilities by providing a smooth and near-silent powered zooming function that's an ideal complement to the lens's speedy AF. The PZ-E1 has adjustable zoom speeds, an integrated locking mechanism, offers remote controlled zooming and is designed to integrate seamlessly with the EF-S 18—135mm f3.5—5.6 IS USM for streamlined operability.

Optimal Image Stabilisation up to 4-stops and Dynamic IS for Video Recording
Thanks to a newly enhanced Image Stabiliser system that features a more rigid mechanical structure and the incorporation of faster algorithms, the EF-S 18—135mm f3.5—5.6 IS USM's Image Stabiliser effect has been improved from 3.5 stops to 4 stops for better performance in even more challenging situations. Whether shooting in low light or any time a slow shutter speed is necessary, the EF-S 18—135mm f3.5—5.6 IS USM's Image Stabiliser helps deliver stable, sharp results.
When recording video, the EF-S 18—135mm f3.5—5.6 IS USM's Dynamic IS system helps compensate for camera shake such as when handholding the camera or making movies while walking, especially when using wide focal lengths. By compensating for the camera's motion, it helps deliver sharp, accurately focused images with ease.
UD Lens element for high resolution and high contrast images
The EF-S 18—135mm f3.5—5.6 IS USM features a number of advanced Canon optics to provide a sharp, high-resolution picture throughout its zoom range. Featuring a UD lens and a high-precision aspherical lens element, its optical formula helps to reduce chr...
