    Overview

    The Canon EF 35-135mm f/4-5.6 USM is a compact, versatile zoom lens with a useful 35-135mm range, suited for travel and general photography. It features fast, quiet ring-type USM autofocus and full-time manual focusing, a notable innovation for its time. Optical quality is decent, comparable to the 28-105mm and 28-135mm USM lenses, but on crop sensors the wide end is narrow. Build is solid, though it lacks image stabilization. Best for film or full-frame users seeking an affordable, lightweight walkaround zoom.
