Very good walkaround travel lens
1

A 28-216 for practical purposes, this lens has good range and better than average optics.

Coupled with the SL1 this is the most power you can pack in such small package.

As most, I do have more lenses, a Tokina 11-16 f2.8 and Canon 70-300 IS USM which serve me well

But when traveling light, the SL1 / 18-135 STM combo is as good as it gets.

Re: Very good walkaround travel lens

I gave this lens the same score in my gear section @ 4 stars.  Would of been higher but the IQ falls a bit on the long end.  The 18-135 STM is very sharp from 18 to 50 and drops off to average at 135mm.
