Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens
Versatile All-in-One Multimedia Zoom for Canon EF-S Mount – 28.8-216mm Full-Frame Equivalent, High-Speed NANO USM Autofocus Motor, 4-Stop Optical Image Stabilizer (IS), 1 UD & 1 Aspherical Element, Super Spectra Coating, PZ-E1 Power Zoom Adapter Compatible, Includes Front & Rear Lens Caps (Heavily Used Condition / Heavy Internal Dust)

The Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM is a flexible, high-ratio all-in-one standard-to-telephoto zoom lens designed specifically for APS-C-format Canon EF-S mount digital SLR cameras, delivering an expansive 28.8-216mm full-frame equivalent focal length range. Engineered as a hybrid photo-and-video solution, this 7.5x zoom covers everything from wide landscapes and street scenes to tight portraits and distant action, eliminating the need to frequently swap lenses during fast-paced shoots.

A standout feature of this model is Canon’s advanced NANO USM autofocus drive, which combines the rapid burst-shooting responsiveness of a ring-type USM motor with the silent, fluid tracking performance of a stepping motor (STM), making it ideal for both high-resolution still photography and cinematic video capture. The optical construction integrates 16 elements in 12 groups, including one Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) element and one precision aspherical element to curb chromatic aberrations, spherical distortion, and color fringing throughout the entire zoom range. Individual elements feature Super Spectra Coating to suppress flare and ghosting under harsh daylight. Handheld shooting in low-light environments is supported by a built-in 4-stop Optical Image Stabilizer (IS). The lens also features electronic contacts on the underside of the barrel for seamless integration with the optional Canon PZ-E1 Power Zoom Adapter for smooth motorized zooming during video production.

CONDITION DIAGNOSTICS & PHYSICAL NOTES

Included Components: ALL-IN-ONE ZOOM LENS UNIT. Supplied with the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens, Canon front lens cap, and Canon EF-S rear bayonet dust cap. (Dedicated lens hood is not included).

Exterior & Physical Status: HEAVILY USED CONDITION. The composite barrel, ribbed zoom and focus rings, AF/MF and IS switches, zoom lock switch, and metal EF-S bayonet mount exhibit prominent cosmetic surface marks, heavy finish rubbing, edge wear, and visible handling scratches consistent with extensive prior field use.

Optical & Mechanical Status: FULLY FUNCTIONAL WITH HEAVY OPTICAL DUST. The interior optical elements contain significant dust particles and debris typical of heavily used zoom lenses (does not prevent normal operation; tested to confirm functionality). The NANO USM autofocus system operates quickly and quietly; the 4-stop Image Stabilizer functions properly; zoom and focus rings rotate through their full range; the electronic 7-blade aperture stops down accurately on compatible Canon EOS APS-C camera bodies.
