Good multipurpose zoom lens for Canon T1i/500D. Week after buying Canon T1i camera I went to Mt St Helens National Park and realized how much I need extra zoom. So I ordered the new Canon 18-135IS. My first impressions are very positive:- The build quality is pretty decent.- The lens is relatively light and feels pretty balanced on the T1i body.- Front of the lens doesn’t turn during auto focus which is a plus if you use a polarized filter.- AF is quick and very accurate – it easily finds focus even in dark conditions.- Image Stabilizer supports horizontal and vertical panning.- I think sharpness is comparable with the kit 18-55IS (looks like corners are a bit softer).- Zoom range is perfect for vacation/outdoor photography.- There is no zoom creep (so far).- Very smooth bokeh (background blurring)Few cons:- No zoom lock.- Doesn’t have USM/full-time manual focus – this is the feature I’d expect in the $500 lens.- Distortions on the wide end…

Now, with the 18-135 on the camera I only have to carry the camera unless I know that I will be in a situation where I should use the 55-250. Another benefit is the reduced risk of getting dust on the sensor, a risk that always concerned me when I changed lenses.Before ordering the lens, I read many reviews and made a list of all the problems I could expect and the recommendations as to how to overcome or work around them. But either the Gods smiled on me or Canon has made some improvements in the lens since the reviews were written because so far I have not noticed the problems the reviews warned about. I have not yet taken shots at all focal lengths, F numbers or exposure speeds,. but at 18mm (a focal length warned about), f3.51, 1/32 I got good,fully usable photos. I…
