The 18-200mm kit lens has an 11.1x zoom ratio, with a 35mm equivalent focal range of 29-320mm when the focal length crop is taken into account. See below for our test results with this lens mounted on the Canon 60D, and see our full review of this lens on. A lens hood and soft case are optional accessories. The lens has a MSRP of US$499.99 if bought separately, but costs significantly less when purchased bundled with the camera. Dimensions are 101 long with a 75.4mm diameter (4.0 x 3.0 inches), and weight is 455g / 16.0 oz. Other specifications include a 6-bladed (rounded) diaphragm, minimum aperture of f/22-f/38 (or f/36 if using 1/3 stop increments), maximum magnification ration of 0.21x (or 1:4.8) at 135mm, and 67mm filter thread. A Stabilizer On/Off switch is also provided. The lens features built-in image stabilization (IS) that is capable of up to four stops of correction. Focusing is internal, and the 18-135mm uses a micro DC motor for autofocus instead of the ultra-sonic motor found on models with the USM designation.

The lens is constructed of 16 elements in 12 groups. The 18-135mm kit lens has a 7.5x zoom ratio, with a 35mm equivalent focal range of 29-216mm due to the 60D's 1.6x 'focal length crop' (see below). As of this writing (mid December, 2010), the Canon EOS 60D digital SLR camera is available body-only, bundled with the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens, or bundled with the EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens.
