Comments about Canon Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Auto Focus Lens - White Box - with U.S.A. Warranty:

This is my first zoom lens. I'm coming from the Canon 50mm f/1.8 prime lens. I was looking for something that I could use so that I didn't have to zoom with my feet all of the time. In good light this lens works well. When you have low light, or the average amount of light indoors it seems to be a little slow. At this point I plan on replacing this lens when I can afford a faster zoom lens.

The lens is a good step up from the standard 18-55 kit lens that provides a reasonable range. I use it while hiking and it is a reasonable compromise for close ups on flowers and catching wild life.

I will say that it did not arrive in a "white box" and was simply wrapped in bubble wrap with the registration card rubber banded to it.
