EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM

Canon's definitive all-in-one travel zoom for APS-C DSLRs — covering a 29–216mm full-frame equivalent range with built-in IS and Nano USM autofocus. It is the most versatile single lens available for the 90D, handling everything from wide-angle landscapes at 18mm to compressed telephoto at 135mm. The Nano USM system delivers fast, smooth, and silent AF that also works well for video. EF-S mount only — designed exclusively for APS-C Canon bodies.
