Does EF-S 18-135mm have image stabilization?

[rchrdwlkn]

Thinking of buying the Canon 90D with the EF 18-155. Does the lens have the image stabilization? Can’t see anything that verifies that it does.

rchrdwlkn,

I'm sorry, but I don't see an EF18-155mm listed.

There's an 18-55 and an 18-135, and both of them do have image stabilization.

Greetings,

IS aside.  If you do not have any investment in DSLRs or EF/EF-S glass, I would consider mirrorless.  The useable life and ROI is much higher.  The 90D is 5 yrs old.  DSLR's take beautiful photos but are a dead end for a first time investment. 

Here's a side by side comparison.  90D vs R7 $300 price difference as an example.

Another option.  Refurbished R7 from Canon.  When the body comes back into stock, its $40 dollars more than a new 90D.  You might also consider the R7 with RF-S 18-150mm.

Just something to think about.

Rick, Thanks for the info. Been using Canon DSLR for years and have some lenses already. They are all EF type. I’m 74 so longevity probably not a worry.😀 Had an A1 workhorse for a few years and then a 40D. Wanting an upgrade for some travel.

• Steve, it is the 18 to 135. Thanks

rchrdwlkn,

I was lucky enough to be gifted an 18-135 IS USM.

It stays on my camera about 90% of the time.

Almost a certainty that an R series camera and lens will not offer you anything more than the 90D and ef-s 18-135mm will. The 90D is Canon's best of the series and the best crop series camera made. If you want to really step up your game get the 90D with a Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art Lens. For IQ there isn't any R series that is going to shame that combo. Another outstanding choice is the Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 Lens. These two zooms are in a class by themselves.

Welcome.  I have to agree with Rick.  Service life aside, the performance differences between the 90D and any of the Canon R Series of cameras is pretty dramatic.  

The R7 is the highest performing APS-C in the current lineup.  The R10 is not as expensive, but every bit as capable.  The R7 is just more muscled up for sports and wildlife.

Any EF/EF-S lens you currently own should work well on the R bodies with the addition of a mount adapter.  

Side note.  Lens adapters are intended to stay on a lens.  A mount adapter is intended to stay on the camera’s lens mount.

Waddizzle,

Could I ask you a question about this.

You wrote, "Side note. Lens adapters are intended to stay on a lens. A mount adapter is intended to stay on the camera’s lens mount."

Does that mean that I wouldn't be able to take the adapter off and use the EF or EF-S lens on my DSLR again?

I bought several Fotodiox FD adapters back in the day to use on my EF mount T6 camera, and once mounted, I had a devil of time trying to get them back off. I wound up buying an adapter for each lens I wanted to use.

Is that still the case these days with an EOS EF-R adapter?
