70D+18-135 STM IS

[RKC]

Hi
Anyone using this combo and would like to give some feedback
Very much starting to use video mainly for grand daughter, can hear lens adjusting focus on my current len's, so was think about this option

I had that combo but I rarely use video on my 70d. I had the 18-135stm as a kit lens with my original 650d but I've since sold the two.

The AF is practically silent even with the onboard mic and you can only hear tiny bits of it if the room/space you're in is silent.

There are a few other STM options now (40mm, 17-55mm and that 50-250mm) and I still have the 40mm.

Thank you Etienne, how did you find the quality of photographs

Quality wasn't bad considering it's a kit lens but obviously not as good as a lot of other lenses. The lens itself got pretty good reviews and if you have a search around on Flickr for that lens, you can certainly get some good shots from it.
