An EF-S 18-135mm wide-angle zoom lens with groundbreaking Nano USM Technology
A versatile EF-S lens that excels for both photos and movies! Enjoy superb versatility from a lens that’s sure to be a kit-bag essential, giving quality performance in still photography and moviemaking, thanks to its new Nano USM technology. The speed and smooth focus of the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM gives stunning spontaneous shots, while its quiet motor ensures that movie soundtracks are undisturbed by focusing noise.

High performance, compact lens for outstanding photos and movies
A go-to lens for photos and movies, the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM has shoot-specific, dedicated IS modes, ensuring you achieve steady results. Nano USM technology delivers fast focusing that is smooth and quiet for moviemaking.

Its compact, lightweight design makes it a lens perfect for travelling without compromising on quality, giving you excellent colour and contrast reproduction. The UD and aspherical lens elements reduce chromatic aberration throughout its expansive focal range for both movies and photos.

Nano USM technology - smooth, fast and quiet
The Nano USM technology in the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM allows you to focus on your subject with exceptional speed. Combined with a versatile focal range, it allows you to capture dramatic landscapes, beautiful portraits and fast-paced action.

Nano USM focusing technology provides a natural look to your movies, with exceptionally smooth autofocus when tracking subjects. However, you can also take control at any time with its responsive manual focus ring.

  • Smooth focusing - Smooth focus is a must for natural looking focus transitions. Nano USM gives superb control, allowing for smooth tracking, while focusing on your subject as it moves away or towards the camera.
  • Silent focusing - Nano USM ensures that your soundtrack is uninterrupted by focusing noise thanks to its near silent motion.
  • Speed of focus - The drive speed of the focusing lens in the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM has been increased by up to 2.5 times* (wide) and by up to 4.3 times* (telephoto) compared to the EF-S18-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS.

Inside the Nano USM unit sits an elastic metal body, ceramic voltage element and drive unit. The application and adjustment of voltage to the ceramic element, controls the direction and speed of the drive unit. The result is a focusing system that gives you a smooth focus with speed control.

Stay steady amongst the action
Shooting pin-sharp photographs is made easy with the 4-stop Optical Image Stabilizer. It counteracts camera shake for high quality results in low light or when using zoom, while a dedicated Panning Mode automatically engages when you are following a moving subject.

The Dynamic Image Stabilizer ensures movie footage is stable when shooting handheld, at full zoom or on the move.

Incredible versatility across the focal range
The EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM comfortably captures a range of subjects due to its wide focal range. At its shortest focal length, you can capture expanses of landscapes. At the opposite end, you can get closer to action with its telephoto capabilities and high speed autofocus. The 4-stop Optical Image Stabilizer keeps your images sharp and steady when at maximum zoom, working in low light or shooting video.

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.

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.

High speed auto focus
Fast autofocus locks onto subjects quickly and accurately. Full-time manual override is available without changing focus mode.

Get close to your subject
Focus down to 0.39m at any zoom setting for a close-up view of your subject.
