A versatile zoom optimized for both stills and video, the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM from Canon is a 28.8-216mm equivalent lens designed for APS-C-format DSLRs. Incorporating NANO USM technology, this lens is characterized by its combination of a fast, stills-optimized ring-type Ultrasonic Motor and smooth, silent video-optimized stepping motor for all-around focusing performance to benefit multimedia image-makers. This dual-purpose AF motor also offers notably quicker performance throughout the zoom range for more responsive shooting from near to far. Additionally, also aiding both photo and movie recording, an Image Stabilizer system compensates for up to four stops of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. The lens is also compatible with the optional PZ-E1 Power Zoom Adapter for more natural and controllable zooming performance. Updated to suit the increasing presence of video in a photographer's workflow, this zoom is versatile in regard to both focus handling as well as with its wide-angle to telephoto reach.

question

Is there a constant aperture version of the 18-135mm? It seems like there are only full frame constant zooms except for Sony.
Asked by: Zanin
In order to be small and affordable, everything lenses (which have focal lengths from very wide to very telephoto) have variable apertures. But take heart, constant aperture zooms are available. However they are aimed to the pro market since pros hate dealing with variable aperture as well. The closest to 18-135mm I would like to suggest is the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM Lens B&H # CA241054LIS2. It has superb image quality and is a very usable zoom on a full frame camera. The 24mm is a little tight on an APS-C camera. I too am waiting for the day when I can get a 10-1000mm f/2.0 IS lens that is 4 , weighs 8 oz and goes for $100.00. Until then...

Hi, its been over tbree years since release, will this lens along with the PZ-E1 Power Zoom Adapter work on a C100 MKII, are these compatable?
Asked by: Frank
I use the power zoom on the 18-135 on a 7D-II with no problem - the zoom function has nothing to do w the camera. Unless it just won't fit, I'm guessing the power adapter should work with any camera the lens will fit.
