I traveled a ton through Japan with only a 18-135 lens. Great lens, not too heavy, not too expensive, the ultimate Canon travel lens imo.

I also used a GP-E2 so the photos would be geo-tagged which worked out pretty awesome for travel photos.

The Canon 18-135 mm STM is a great "all around" lens. They can be had used for under $200.
Cheers.

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
https://www.amazon.com/Canon-18-135mm-3-5-5-6-Standard-Digital/dp/B002NEGTT2 standard IS

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008UGMLWQ/ref=psdc_173565_t2_B002NEGTT2 STM

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BUYJYOW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=P4YF3DBC2FWW&coliid=I131NWQFIHP74Z USM

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?

As a quick barometer you can do a quick Amazon check and look at the used prices:

https://www.amazon.com/Canon-EF-S-10-18mm-4-5-5-6-Lens/dp/B00K899B9Y/

cheapest used is $254

https://www.amazon.com/Canon-18-135mm-3-5-5-6-Standard-Digital/

Cheapest used is $174 - probably because there are a ton of them and people usually step up so it gets cheaper. So you'd be coming out ahead. Also the ultrawide is an STM lens so in theory should be better for movies due to silent focus

Actually there is also the STM 18-135 - do you know which one you have?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008UGMLWQ/

This one is quite a bit more expensive than the ultrawide brand new - but still a little cheaper used ($220ish and up), probably once again, there are just a lot more of them out there. It's also an STM lens. Still seems like a reasonable trade, I suppose, but you're not really coming out ahead anymore.

Sigh, so many lenses.

I'd recommend a lens with a wide zoom range. For lifestyle-type shots where you are shooting yourself/your friends/the journey from a more intimate perspective (read -- up close) and the occasional landscape, I'd recommend a lens that gives you at least a 18-24mm focal length at the bottom end. It's hard to take pictures of the car or your friends with a 200mm telephoto lens, unless you want an up close and personal shot of the pores on your friends' noses.

My 18-135mm kit lens that came with my Canon works wonderfully for me when I'm on trips. It's very versatile. The lens that I'm referring to is this (this is a CANON lens, it won't fit your Nikon):
https://www.amazon.com/Canon-EF-S-18-135mm-3-5-5-6-Lens/dp/B008UGMLWQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500062853&sr=8-1&keywords=canon+18-135

.
Alternatively, for YOUR particular camera, I'd recommend something like this Sigma 17-50mm:
https://www.amazon.com/Sigma-17-50mm-Aperture-Standard-Digital/dp/B003A6NU3U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500062448&sr=8-1&keywords=sigma%2Bcanon&th=1

The latter lens has a shorter zoom range (17-50mm) than my Canon lens that I mentioned, but you get a nice, low aperture of f/2.8 throughout the entire zoom.

A cheaper option that is similar to the Sigma lens that I mentioned above is a Nikon lens that can be found here:
https://www.amazon.com/Nikon-18-55mm-3-5-5-6G-Vibration-Reduction/dp/B00HQ4W4PC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1500062981&sr=8-2&keywords=nikon+lens+18-55

The Nikon lens listed has a variable aperture, and the lowest that it will go is 3.5. I'd spend the extra ~$100 and get the Sigma lens. You'd probably get a TON of use out of that Sigma for a long time.

Please feel free to reach out if you have some more questions. :-) There are some great people here.

That same lens is $273, new, on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Canon-EF-S-18-135mm-3-5-5-6-White/dp/B008UGMLWQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1540914314&sr=8-3&keywords=canon+18-135

If I missed an international restriction, though, that's on me. I'm just saying: look up the prices for the components before you make a decision. The camera doesn't do you much good without a lens to go with it.
