I just recently bought a canon 1200D with an 18-55 mm IS II kit lens. I have found that I mostly shoot portraits and some macro and now I am looking to upgrade my lens but still want the flexibility of a wide range zoom lens. I found that in my price range for an EF-S mount that canon recommends their 18-135 USM lens. I like the looks of it as it still looks flexible. I have also found 18-135 mm lenses by Canon and now I am picking between these three

I think the cheap standard IS looks to be just like my current lens in terms of quality while having a larger zoom range. It looks like the STM has a step up for shooting movies (but I think I would only be able to appreciate it with Canon's 'i' series of rebel cameras, I only have a base t5) and I think the USM is like the STM but has a faster auto focus. Is any of that true? I really was hoping that there would be a difference between the STM and base model in terms of image quality, is that the case? I want to start shooting some video soon and I was hoping the USM would be worth it if it has a better auto focus as I will also use auto focus for taking quick shots of moving subjects. What are the advantages between them? Also, what do the abbreviations mean?

Understand. FYI - there are three ways to put a power zoom on the C100 [Referrals]:

  1. Use the $149 Canon PZ-E1 power zoom adapter and a $599 18-135 lens, as seen here. This works and is affordable, but will give you a varifocal zoom.
  2. Use an EF to B4 adapter, an old parfocal broadcast servo zoom with a 2x extender, a power supply and a 1.4x coupler, as seen here. This will work, but is unwieldy.
  3. Buy a $3849 used Canon Compact Servo Zoom with a $445.62 Canon ZSG-C10 Servo Zoom Grip. These lenses are parfocal, but very expensive.

    Again, hope this is helpful!.

Everyone starts somewhere :) I would really hold off on buying another lens apart from the one provided, as it is all you NEED at the moment. I suggest mastering your 35-55mm and waiting a few months to upgrade. However, since you said it is something that you want, here are a couple of lenses I would suggest in that focal range... 1 2
