Q: 5. What are the pro's and con's of the Canon 18-135mm IS-STM and IS-USM lenses?

A: This is a new lens, and is an upgrade from a previous version. It has one aspherical element, and supports the face recognition function on the C100MKII. It also has electrical contacts and notches at the bottom of the lens to allow for attachment of the PZ-E1 zoom. (older versions of this lens do not support this function)The quality, of the footage is excellent, but I have not had a chance to do a critical analysis of the focus tracking, and and face recogniion. This lens will not fit on the 5DMKIII. Because of the APC (Smaller sensor) on the C100MKII the effective focol length is 28.8-216mm, making it a great all purpose lens. It has been criticized as lesser glass when compared to Canons cinema grade lenses, and this is true, but it is every bit as good as a lens found on a Canon vid cam with a built in lens.
