  | sent on 09 Gennaio 2025 Pros: All-rounder focal length, acceptable quality, price, weight, utility, stabilizer Cons: Fairly marked limits and little else (as long as you know what you are buying) Opinion: Good lens with "all-round" focal lengths and even a little more. Lens that is often a kit lens a little more pumped up than the classic 18-55. Purchased used to mount it on a Canon 7D, spectacular coupling. In its simplicity it still excites me now. Excellent lens to start with (in my opinion), it allows you to have from wide angle to a low / medium telephoto lens. Nice blurry (limited, but very pleasant in my opinion). Stabilizer that works correctly (perhaps a bit simpleton, but defends itself well) and beautiful image rendering. The backlight and aberrations are also quite good, which if you use the 1 or 2 STOP diaphragm more closed also gives good sharpness (even at focal lengths "pushed" above 100/110mm) as well as greatly reducing the few aberrations present. All in all excellent lens that I recommend to those who want to approach the world of photography, it does not cost a kidney, it has an excellent rendering and slightly more extreme focal lengths than the classic 18-55mm. |
  | sent on 30 Settembre 2024 Pros: Optics many practice and comada as an all-rounder. If you know what you buy, well you know how you should use it and what to expect. Cons: At times the stabilizer must "understand" and if it is not stationary, then there is a risk of micro blur. Opinion: The 24-105L that I used fixed on the 5Dmkii failed. Then wanting to change... I took a Sigma 17-35, but the feeling didn't click. Anyway I missed the longer focal length... In short, the 5D remained on the stock exchange. I have been shooting for years then out the legendary 7D mki, with the classic 18-55 IS from the kit. Surprised that today between ACR, profiles and AI... well the shots weren't that bad. So I decide to give her a second chance. I tried a 15-85 which, although excellent, I was missing a few millimeters for the real all-rounder. I've read around a lot... and I realized that the predecessors of the 18-135 kit were in fact very poor. The STM variant, however, fared much better. In fact it seems to have an extra UD lens... ? Well, the difference is very noticeable. I got it on a well-known site of used 100 bags and boom snapped the feeling. Always coming from good L and FF series glasses, I must say that the combo doesn't suck. Indeed! I immediately felt good in readiness, ergonomics and weights. Optically it is good as long as you always set f/8. Autofocus good and fast, but sometimes lacks at 135mm, that is, it struggles to refresh a point if before it was set very closely. But in short, it can be there. No discrepancies or disappointing notes, if as I said you keep it at f/8 where it gives graphs and in practice gives the best on all focal lengths. A sore point is the stabilizer that sometimes does not "stop" and perhaps causes micro-blur. This is mostly at higher focal lengths. So I have to say excellent lens for lighter and calmer rides. It doesn't want to be a fast lens for sports etc... Understanding its limitations, I get excellent results for me. I think the 7D is already at the limit of the Mpix 18, to make sure that the lens solves them all. 15Mpix in my opinion would be better. But even so, it's fine. I know that there is the new USM version but I can't say on an optical level how it lends itself. If it's the same or similar in build and quality as the new 70-300IS USM, well then I think it's worth it. The cost, however, is already triple if not more. With this old 7D and 18-135 combo, well even if I get it or forget around... at worst maybe 200 francs, and not a thousand and more with another setup. Moreover, it is inconspicuous! |
 | sent on 27 Dicembre 2021 Pros: Handyman; practical; Lightweight; Quality lenses for decent photos (all in all); Plastic construction, but of good workmanship; Stabilized; Fast focus Cons: If it had been tropicalized Opinion: I keep it installed perpetually on a 7D, having 28.8-216mm available, and an overall human weight. The quality is not from the L series, but if you are looking for comfort, lightness and speed of focus, and a quality of dignified image, as an everyday lens is fine. A practical lens for everyday reportage, even at a professional level, thanks to the wide focal range and the speed of focus. Even if it is not a series L my vote is 9, if it had been tropicalized I would have given 10 |
 | sent on 20 Luglio 2021 Pros: excellent handyman, you leave it attached to the SLR and you forget for years to change optics, especially if you use the camera for walks with friends, successful stabilizer, sharp in the norm .. but closed by one or two stops is better . Cons: stabilizer stopped after 1 second from the maf, typical of economic objectives,if you shoot suddenly the stabilizer does more damage than well .. sharpness and focus go hand in hand.. often from experience who complains about the quality of the photos is because he does not notice that the photo is blurry .. the old camera bodies like 60D, 7D mk1 and company of those dark years do not know how to exploit it well .. in fact it is the best of itself with camera bodies from the 70D onwards and with the new sensors af .. maybe also because of the stm engine.. I for example with the 7D every now and then we quarrel .. but when I use it with the 80D it changes the world.. the old version not stm was more precise with the old camera bodies.. remember if you are looking for optics only for photos and not for videos .. otherwise make the jump to the usm version ... Opinion: I paid him 100 euros for a 7D on which to glue it paid just as much .. it is very ergonomic with the 7D.. it works quietly and if you know how to get around its few limits considering the cost of used you have a lot of fun .. I leave it attached on the 7D since I bought it .. and I don't want anything else.. at least for my Sunday outings and walks.. remember that with special adapter can be used in a complete way on the M .. |
 | sent on 10 Dicembre 2020 Pros: stabilization, robustness, resistance to dust and sand despite not being tropicalized, sharpness Cons: heavy, lacks a lampshed combined with the lens directly from canon Opinion: I have been using this lens for two years and it has never disappointed me, when looking for sharpness you always find it (but it is not a fixed 50mm anyway), it covers the vast majority of photographic situations so it is a lens to always keep at hand. the only flaw - which is actually a mere compromise - is that it excels in nothing. completely satisfied |
 | sent on 08 Novembre 2020 Pros: Honest objective, highly sharp considering the price, metal bayonet, IS. Cons: A lot of plastic, you could have done better! The lampshed is missing! Opinion: I took it a year ago used by RCE of Padua for my daughter, at school (Liceo Artistico) she needed a camera and I did not want to spend so much money, so I supported her old and glorious Eos 7D, now in disuse for many years, is a handyman's goal, with all the consequent limits, she does her job honestly to be an economic optics! Great lens to start photographing, but there's better. |
 | sent on 17 Novembre 2019 Pros: Honest handyman Cons: None for its construction Opinion: I use it on a 7D, it's appreciable. Let's start with the concept that it is not a top of the range but it is designed to make the lens all-rounder and performs the job well. I also used it in low light conditions and found well-defined images up to its limit : obviously not a f 2.8 . To search for depth of field in valid light frames f 9 ; 10 and 11. Color yield and good focus. |
 | sent on 19 Maggio 2019 Pros: Considerable as everything do, stabilization, light weight, used price Cons: Lens with closed diaphragm, sharpness and in some cases chromatic aberrations Opinion: I recommend it to an audience that is approaching the world of photography. It's a simple lens to use, and as good as everything do without too many pretensions. A more careful eye could see the little sharpness that there is on the lower diaphragms and some chromatic aberration that correctable in post production. To stay happy spending advice to buy it used that we can find it even under 200 euros. |
  | sent on 05 Gennaio 2019 Pros: Usability - focal ranges - focus Cons: I have not found any details Opinion: As a simple photography enthusiast I can only say well about this goal. I use it, with Canon 70d, mostly outdoors, in AV mode, almost always between f/8 and f/9. Rarely "canno" a picture and if it happens it's my fault. I always got beautiful images, sharp and excellently contrasted. Shot in jpeg format, with very minimal post-production. I report a more than good AF and a high degree of usability due to the range of focals most in use. I use it, sometimes, even indoors, but accompanied by the external flash Canon 430EX III-RT, with really remarkable results. From time to time, I also use it for movies with more than excellent results: their viewing, on a full hd TV, is excellent. I have read several negative or mostly sufficient opinions on the performance of this goal. That's not the case with me. Maybe, I was lucky enough to find a very good specimen. Based on my experience, I recommend it without any remora. UPDATE: On 7d Mark II makes even better than on the 70d, especially on the AF side which is really great. The color yield is also much better. |
 | sent on 03 Ottobre 2017 Pros: imperceptible AF noise, wide range of focal excursion, sufficiently sharp Cons: sharpness loss at the maximum focal length, ring nut for MF, weight Opinion: I've been using this lens for 3 years continuously on my 500D. The wide focal length allows you to take advantage of it in a variety of situations (from landscapes, night photography, to wildlife photography) to achieving more than dignified results: in particular, the AF is totally silent so you can go completely unnoticed when you need to make silence so as not to scare the subject. It does not shine for sharpness, especially at 18 and 135 mm, but overall it is acceptable. The lens, compared to the other zoom, is quite compact and lightweight; however, its weight is not indifferent, especially if brought to the neck during long hikes. For this reason, I decided to temporarily set it to use lighter and sharper fixed optics. |
 | sent on 23 Giugno 2017 Pros: AF speed, good sharpness, lightweight, good stabilization Cons: Excessive distortion at 18 drops sharpness to the focal length Opinion: Saying a good handy goal, aside from almost unusable at 18 and with obvious drop in the max focal length is good across the range, it is not "sharp" but well defined on all other focal points even at TA - For what it would cost I would say that I am Well spent money and would recommend it without any shadow of doubt. Given the previous reviews I would say that it is too underestimated compared to the actual potential it offers. |
 | sent on 03 Marzo 2017 Pros: Value, AF fast enough though noisy, zoom range, light weight, stabilizzazione.rn Cons: Dim (but it is an all-rounder), it lacks the scale of distances, not exceptional sharpness between f. 3.5 and f. 7.2, slight vignetting at TA, dust accumulates in the barrel, questionable mechanical construction. Opinion: I used it for more than three years during which he gradually accumulated dust inside the front lens, up to give me a curious problem: a 18 mm. the camera reads 44 mm. and Aperture 5.0 instead of f. 3.5 as it should be. I used it with good satisfaction as a handyman, especially in meetings and events where he revealed to the occasion ... a little 'less in photographs of rural and urban landscapes. Okay as a travel lens disengaged ... ie holidays, travel in a group, and so on. To those who wish to achieve real photographic reports during their holidays I would recommend the excellent 15-85 because it combines the versatility of a handyman also an excellent optical quality. |

 | sent on 10 Settembre 2016 Pros: Versatile, MAF quick and silent, lightweight Cons: Usable from f / 7.1 - f / 8 on, Classicon Canon: assensa lens hood Opinion: Coming from a 1100D with 18 55 70 300 and Tamron, I was no longer in the skin while awaiting the arrival of the 70D with 18,135 .stm, mainly because I could use it in all those occasions when they made me comfortable focal lengths 55 to 70 and that for those from 70 to 135 would not have to change lenses. But the joy was not complete: from 18 to 24 and from 95 to 135 the quality drops dramatically, as drops at full aperture to f / 8. 8 to 11 from the best. The photo on the TA looks like a painting done in watercolor. Ideal if you have to use the light of day, for the Sunday trip is more than decent, but would not recommend to make a church service (but not at the restaurant?); for what we want fixed. Maybe with time I became too demanding ... rn |

| sent on 21 Aprile 2016 Pros: value for money, AF, construction and mechanical, focal range, stabilization and discreet nitidezza.rn Cons: just enough brightness, ring manual focus insensitive Opinion: I am using it for over a year and previously had no STM version. I would share the same impressions of RICCARDOB82: this is a discrete lens a little underestimated. Personally I find it very practical (for travel or vacation has a focal range covering most situations), is fitted with a discreet sharpness, what we all try desperately ..... but that often depends on external factors such as clarity air, or camera shake that is sometimes perceived as a lack of the lens, precision of focus .... etc. (A f / 7 - f / 8 is its "sweet spot"). In this regard, I invite you to read an interesting web page about Ken Rockwell http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/lens-sharpness.htm site. Sure there are higher quality objectives, but at this price, this is a lens that makes his honest work. |
 | sent on 07 Marzo 2016 Pros: Price, focal length, weight, autofocus, image stabilization. Cons: just enough image quality and low in TA. Opinion: I purchased in a kit with the 700D. Great start, but then we do not longer content. Suitable for photos with vacations and trips unassuming. "Obligation" to close at least af 8. Also good for photos indoors with flash. In short, a handyman lens but it does not give what all of us expect. There are those who appreciate it for video; I though I have not yet made. |
 | sent on 12 Dicembre 2015 Pros: Speed ??and quiet focusing, excellent sharpness, excellent stability, lightweight, af focusing even in low light. Cons: Little light, lacking the scale of distances, the focus ring does not by limit feedback, slight chromatic aberration. Opinion: C often combined with extension tubes of 13 or 21 mm (RR x0,44 and x0.53 respectively), obtaining excellent risultati.rnCiò you do not like about this is that it is very dim, it does not have the scale of distances (as all stm) and the ring nut of the focus does not have a feedback hardening at the end of the race. Objectively with this objective it is more difficult to manually fire. Chromatic aberration is quite marked but can be corrected quite well in post produzione.rnSe sell it will only be for a brighter lens zoom, sacrificing versatility for a focal f / 2.8 constant. |
|
| sent on 27 Novembre 2015 Pros: focus fast Cons: variable aperture, focus ring without limit, at 18 vignetting, sharpness Opinion: Add some money and take a 24-105 f / 4 used, if you want a lens to all the temptation will be strong but soon you will find that is not up. Ok for the video AF but MF is almost unusable with the ring built that way. The variable diaphragm is another flaw if you make videos. A sticker 18 and distorts (even if you correct easily and quickly post with lightroom) and sharpness of course is not the best. I think it's fine for those who have needs too high and has already planned to go on a lot with photography (because that is good only on aps-c) |
 | sent on 15 Novembre 2015 Pros: Range of focal lengths, Price Cons: Image quality similar to lenses bridge point and shoot Opinion: I got to try it for a whole day grafted 7d ... in light conditions is just decent ... perfect if you encounter a backlight turn around the other side ... the IQ will fall below the level of any smartphone, in a entire session in the church during a baptism the light coming from behind windows of people who sent down the quality conspicuously ... I repeat, situations, and not of direct or backlit with sun in campo.rnUn advice? But absolutely do not buy another preferitegli |
 | sent on 11 Agosto 2015 Pros: Price / quality / range of focal lengths Cons: If you buy it as a handyman he does not have, if you buy it to take pictures during a seance by candlelight you wrong buying ... Opinion: Honestly it seems excessive and harsh talk of brightness tiny, little crisp, bottom of the bottle, plasticaccia, scale and against stairs .. (for those who want proof I can send my photos) For 400 € this is a Mr. aim to take on holiday and around without worries, it covers a focal range of important and produces pictures from all over, who cares if it's plastic or non-tropical conditions, is like buying a smart and expect me to go to 300 km / h, if you want to go and I have to spend 300 different digits. I am a happy owner of the Canon 70D and the lens that I always mounted when I need it "much light" use the canon 35mm f.2 and are in place. On my 70D I also tried the Canon 17-55 f2.8 and tele 70-200 f4 unregulated always canon, sincerely for photos outdoors to note important differences have to call Mr. Zeiss, is an honest and objective fact-rounder, if you are not professional photographers go quiet of 18-135 STM that will not disappoint. |
 | sent on 29 Giugno 2015 Pros: Versatility, good sharpness, good construction, focus fast and quiet Cons: Low light (like all the rest of the lenses handyman) Opinion: I sold the STM 18-55 to pass this 18-135, I have not regretted it at all, giving you that more focus to capture some details that do not you take it to 55mm, obviously is a goal to use the daytime and outdoors, great for trips and excursions. Indoors it's almost impossible to shoot without flash, but it is not a problem, however, because we know that with this type of lens you have to accept this compromise. |
 | sent on 28 Maggio 2015 Pros: Comfort Cons: Brightness tiny, little sharpness. Opinion: As long as I was outdoor so light it seemed good, then I went indoors and began the tragedy, not a single photo of the shot I liked, all too noisy because of the little lens brightness and sharpness almost absent. The 18-55 in my opinion has a better yield. Han tried to create a remarkable all-rounder and instead have managed only to turn many fine reflex in the bridge. It sold after two weeks. |
 | sent on 10 Novembre 2014 Pros: Versatility, price, image quality, ergonomics, good autofocus, very good stabilizer. Great for video, though personally I do not care. Cons: A little 'less sharp at maximum focal length, nothing incorrigible. Does not have the scale of focus. Opinion: I was given recently and, as I expected, meets every requirement of my "slow-rounder." The picture quality is great, very high for the price - just a little flaw 'of sharpness after the 120mm, but nothing incorrigible. The zoom ring is nice and flows well, and the lens has an overall excellent ergonomics and a nice touch and feel, although it is still plastic. I can not recommend it as a lens for every day. |
 | sent on 19 Ottobre 2014 Pros: Versatility and overall quality. Monstrously valid in the video. Cons: Decrease of sharpness at maximum focal, though not excessive. Opinion: Taken goal in kit with the 70D to its ambitions and video for its convenient zoom range, especially when you travel. Who knows what it takes this view look. The yield on the photos is without praise and without shame, but if you learn to know and use it, it involves more than decent. Besides, a lens with a zoom range that I knew that I could not expect performance to scream. The auto focus is swift and silent in good light, a little less in low light, much like the USM, but the use is in live view that shows even faster and more precise. Goal that I recommend to those who do not point to the hair split into four, but seek perspective solid, despite its plasticky, versatile and still good quality. |
 | sent on 19 Agosto 2014 Pros: Fast in focus. Good sharpness if not used at full aperture. Well built considering the price. Focal length range for an excellent all-round use. Very useful zoom lock when storing it in the bag. Good stabilization. Cons: Hood not included. It lacks the scale of focus and depth of field. Extensive use of plastic (but perhaps not a fault). At shorter focal distorts a bit '. Opinion: Great lens to do everything, even for the video. The focal range makes it suitable both in landscape and in portrait. The focus with stepping motor (STM) is fast and whisper-quiet. Used on an EOS 700D allows, working in Live View, to chase the subject automatically, keeping it in focus even as it moves without having to hold the button scatto.rnLa sharpness, especially when not using it wide open, it is very buona.rnIn wide angle position shows some distortion, which can however be corrected through 5 programs like Lightroom, Photoshop Camera Raw CC, PT Lens or Digital Photo Professional in the same Canon.rnE 'a lens that I leave often mounted on the SLR, and that I always choose when I want to carry around a single ottica.rnIn summary, a great purchase for any SLR Canon APS-C format. |
 | sent on 12 Agosto 2014 Pros: Fast AF, good sharpness and very quiet Cons: with low light 'is not the best and loses sharpness after 120 mm Opinion: A great lens stabilized and quiet, was born to the video. If he had opened a 2.8 or 3.5 would be fixed meraviglioso.Questo lens is to make all the classic good level. |
 | sent on 02 Luglio 2014 Pros: Accurate and silent autofocus fast, sharpness, excellent stabilization Cons: I have not noticed Opinion: I took this objective, on the advice of the forum, for use in exhibitions, especially cosplay, I have to say that it is really a great all-rounder. The autofocus is fast and does not emit any noise, even the stabilization is very good. In my opinion it is worth every euro spent. (Paid € 350 on Amazon). I recommend it to everyone who owns a aps-c and looking for a handyman. |
 | sent on 16 Novembre 2013 Pros: AF, handyman, stabilized, virtually free of chromatic aberration Cons: Distortion at 18mm Opinion: A few months ago necessitavo of perspective and I do everything I was oriented on this, I must say that I was impressed right away. I do not know if I got lucky but the model I own does not see chromatic aberration, the use with a 600D and it gives me great satisfaction. The new engine STM works very well in my opinion, is accurate, quiet and pretty fast. It should be in direct competition with the Sigma 17-70 F2.8 but having no way to try them I do not sbilancerei. As optical recommend it to anyone looking for a great all do. |

| sent on 16 Febbraio 2013 Pros: With the 650D distorts very little and I do not see vignettatura.Ottimo against the light, a few reflections. Clear, versatile, lightweight and very practical. Fair macro for what it costs, accurate fire. Cons: If we talk about the category in which it is inserted this goal, I do not see any problems, but goes beyond it as a possibility. I would have felt safer for guards close to the lens, even if the lens is solid. It is not as fast as his brother, but it is much better for video. Opinion: In extreme conditions, I had no problem with fire. In other situations, it is na wonder. According to me it raises the standards of the category and makes it a little less than other higher. For a novice person the chance to do almost everything, so those who use it can easily find its way, then in a photograph addressing more specific. For those traveling is a big plus, you can use all having very good results. Sharpness has to sell. One Zun Zun is always a compromise, if you want the best is easy, with the objectives fixed. |
 | sent on 18 Novembre 2012 Pros: handyman, light Cons: does not have a minimum of sharpness, from 90 onwards loses quality exponentially, cartoon, autofocus Opinion: It 'was my first goal, I have regretted many times not having chosen the classic combined 18-55 55-250. It is difficult to be satisfied after one shot if you do not work in PP to improve sharpness and contrast. Always soft, I would call it more of a 20-80. Besides these focal lengths is very limited. rnNon wait to replace it. |

| sent on 07 Agosto 2012 Pros: light-great for travel-great for video autofocus accurately and reliably in live view- Cons: distorts to 18 mm. lack of motor usm. Opinion: i have to some day the judgment is therefore quite partial. I can say that in the video footage does very bene.per give a full review in the next post. just come back from South Africa where I testarlo.interessante will be whether there have been significant changes from the previous version beyond the STM |
