    Overview

    The Canon EF 35-135mm f/3.5-4.5 is an early EOS zoom (1988) with a slide-zoom design for one-handed operation. Its complex 16-element optics include a molded aspherical element, delivering sharp, contrasty images. Weaknesses include an audible AFD motor and no full-time manual focus. Build is solid but dated. It suits photographers wanting a versatile 4x zoom with macro capability (0.18x) and classic handling.
