The EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM is a versatile zoom lens designed for Canon EOS DSLRs with APS-C sized sensors. It offers a wide focal length range, from 18mm (wide-angle) to 135mm (telephoto), making it suitable for a wide range of shooting scenarios, such as landscape, portrait, and wildlife photography.

The "IS" in the lens name stands for Image Stabilization, which is a technology that helps to reduce camera shake and blur in images caused by shaky hands or low-light conditions. The lens features a 4-stop optical image stabilizer that minimizes the effect of camera shake and enables sharp and steady shots even in challenging shooting conditions.

The lens also comes with a USM (Ultrasonic Motor) autofocus system, which provides fast and quiet autofocus performance, making it suitable for both still photography and video recording. The lens has a minimum focusing distance of 0.39m, which allows for close-up shots with a shallow depth of field.

Overall, the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM is a great all-around lens for Canon APS-C DSLRs, offering a versatile focal length range, image stabilization, and fast autofocus performance.
