The 18 lớn 135mm is a very useful range of zooming. Both pro photographers & newbies will enjoy having a lens that can be used for a large variety of situations. Photographers who don"t want to lớn mess around with changing lenses (I don"t) will like the wide angle view at 18mm, the strong magnification you get at the other end of the zoom at 135mm, & all the focal lengths in between.
That makes it useful for travel photography or taking on hikes where you want to lớn keep the weight and kích cỡ of the equipment you carry lớn a minimum.

Setting your lens aperture wide open (that"s f/5.6 when you"re zoomed into full telephoto) will give sầu you a nice pleasant out of focus background.
Portrait photography is not as demanding in terms of lens choice and the 18-135mm range of focal lengths can handle just about any portrait photography situation you can think of.
The exceptions would be shooting a very large group of people in a small confined space or shooting headshots from a long distance.

This is an appropriate subject for me to shoot a color thử nghiệm with the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II lens. I dig flowers & red is my favorite color. Needless to say, the red colors are grilliant with the 18-135milimet lens mounted on my Canon 90D.
I tested the lens with a few quiông xã shots in & around my home on day 1 & on day 2 I headed out in the rain khổng lồ take a few test shots at a local university.
The bunny was out in the yard, about trăng tròn feet away from me as I stood on my deông xã.

I photographed the peak of my house"s roof because of the high contrast between the house & the sky. I wanted khổng lồ test the 18-135milimet lens for chromatic aberration.

Unfortunately, our beloved rescue dog isn"t going lớn live forever, so I feel compelled to kiểm tra out my newest Canon lens on hyên ổn.
It was a damp & dreary day on day 2 of testing the Canon 18-135, so I looked for some color contrast since I wasn"t going to lớn get much contrast with the dull lighting from the weather. The bright colors of these chairs contrasted again the patterns in the brichồng và cuaght my eye as an interesting subject khổng lồ photograph.
When it"s raining outside look for reflections of your subject lớn BE the subject.
Any lens can shoot the a photo lớn lượt thích the one below, but I included it because it shows the versatility of getting a lens that shoots from wide angle to lớn telephokhổng lồ. I chose a 50milimet lens zoom setting lớn compose this classic example of the rule of thirds.
My last photos sample using the lens on day 2 was of this pine tree blossom in my backyard. The sharpness of the lens is good.
what cameras is the 18-135 lens good with
Here"s a chart of what cameras the 18-135milimet lens will work with. The lens will work with all current and past APS-C "crop" cameras.

what the 18-135mm is not good for
LONG DISTANCE SPORTS. If you"re at a sporting sự kiện in a large stadium or other venue where the action is far from your vantage point, the 18-135mm will come up short. While it"s a capable zoom, the fully zoomed telephoto lớn setting doesn"t have enough reach to capture those far distant subjects.
WILDLIFE. Wait a minute! I mentioned earlier that you can photograph wildlife with the 18-135. Yes, but only if the wildlife is not too far away. Including birds, which are very small subjects to start with, shy, elusive, far distance wildlife is best captured with super long telephoto lenses of 300milimet or more.
The 18-135milimet is fine for photographing birds at your bird feeder, bunny rabbits in your yard, và squirrels running along your fence, but not svào enough lớn take along for great wildlife photos on an African safari adventure.
ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY. If you want to lớn photograph the Milky Way or other nightscapes, you need a lens that opens up to f/2.8, f/2.0 or more. These faster lenses give sầu you faster shutter speeds with lower ISO settings và better quality photos. Prime (NON-zooming) lenses are the best way to go for a challenging subject lượt thích this.
FULL FRAME CAMERAS. The Canon EF-S 18-135mm lens will not fit on full frame cameras. If you don"t plan on "upgrading lớn a full frame sensor camera this is no big giảm giá khuyến mãi at all.
If you are going to lớn move sầu to lớn full frame camera at some point in the future, consider looking a very affordable option, the Canon EF 28-135mm lens. It"s an older lens, but still has image stabilization along with that same maximum 135mm focal length.
what are the 18-135 shortcomings
Like other zoom lenses, the Canon EF-S 18-55mm USM Nano lens isn"t perfect, it has mild shortcomings.
VARIABLE APERTURE. The Canon EF-S 18-135milimet f/3.5-5.6 IS NANO USM Lens has a variable maximum aperture. For Canon lens geeks that"s a sticky point. For many photographers, especially newbie photographers, it doesn"t matter at all.
What it means that as you zoom from the widest angle lens setting of 18milimet the maximum aperture of f/3.5 changes khổng lồ slightly smaller openings. This means that your lens will allow slightly less light inlớn the camera as you zoom in.
BARREL DISTORTION. At the widest lens settings of zoom lens there is a defect in the design of the lens that causes a bulging effect in the shape of your subject
PIN CUSHION EFFECT. At telepholớn setting the opposite effect can cause lines khổng lồ bow inward, similar to the look of a needle being stuchồng into a pin cushion.
Sorry for the graffiti on my lens defect testing wall shown below. Just pay attention to how the vertical & horizontal lines can be affected by the design of lenses.
