I bought this lens to replace another one that I bought new but had stopped focusing. This one was rated as “excellent” and came securely packed in a box with plastic peanuts (see picture). The lens body is clean but there are some small scratches on the front lens (see picture); they are off-center and don’t seem to affect the picture quality.

Lens was not 100% like when bought new, but no noticeable issues when taking photos, and for that great price am definitely satisfied. I love using this lens, especially for portrait and group photography. Very fast and accurately timed delivery to my doorstep, even in a small town in the middle of nowhere. Thank you Amazon!

I was a little bit reluctant to buy this "refurbished" Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 Image Stabilization USM Lens. But with a savings of several hundred dollar over the cost of a "new" lens, I thought I'd take a chance -- I could always return it. The lens arrived well-packed in a plain white box and looked, for all intents and purposes, brand new. No scratches, no dust, no dings, no apparent wear at all. After spending some time testing the lens on camera, I can say that it performed completely up to my expectations. Photos are bright, sharp, clear, and the zoom works very smoothly, while the auto focus is very quiet. It replaces my kit 18-55mm lens, and, although this lens is a bit larger and heftier, the added zoom for general outdoor photography is just what I needed.

I have a canon M50mk2 with a viltrox efm to ef/efs adapter on this lens & it’s my go to always stays on lens I store my camera in the bag with. If u dial in the camera settings properly along with a UV / CP filter u can seriously have a very capable multi purpose camera for nearly everything within reason as far as any “Pro-Sumer” is concerned. Still my favorite go to lens even among my nicer lenses.

I bought a lens for taking to weddings. You know, when you don't want to be on top of people but still want to fill the frame? Catch them in those more intimate moments - but still have the range on the zoom to widen to a group shot? Pull in enough light that you can get some focus on the subjects, but keep the background soft and out of focus?If I had the money, I would be looking for a lens that could open out to F2 or so, to get some better bokeh, but at this price point I found this lens most acceptable. And to be honest, at a recent ceremony I only changed lens once during the entire day for a brief prime lens moment with the bride-to-be before putting this one back on. It focusses very fast, silent, manual zoom feels firm without being sticky. It's also not too heavy to leave on the camera all day. It has nice geometry all the way through the zoom range. Really a very nice lens.Coupled with a soft fill flash from a Canon 430EX ii, I have some pictures I am really pleased with, and will give the happy couple some moments to look back on.

I needed a replacement for a broken EF-S 18-55mm lens in my old Canon Rebel XSi, but when I saw this renewed EF-S 18-135mm at a very good price, I decided to take a chance. I am glad that I did because it turned out that this lens is worth the price. I am not an expert photographer so I cannot give much technical details about its performance but for most of the pictures I have taken in and out of the house, I am satisfied. There is some chromatic aberration in some focal lengths and apertures that are reported in some reviews, but it is not bothersome enough for me to consider returning this lens. Remember it is a used lens.
