Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Autofocus APS-C Lens, Black {67}

Canon's EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS offers a winning combination of size and range for Digital Rebel and Canon APS-C sensor cameras.  The 18-135mm is an ideal choice for users wanting more telephoto reach than a standard 18-55mm 'kit' lens provides without having to carry a second lens (or miss shots while switching to it).  Zooming through focal lengths from 18mm to 135mm, the lens covers a practical all around range for general photography, travel and special occasions.

Canon originally introduced this model in 2009.  In 2012 a sucessor was released, the very similar EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM uses a stepper motor (STM) allowing quieter autofocus while shooting video.  This original model remains quite popular (particularly among photographers not shooting much video).
