Is the canon ef s 18 135mm f 3 5 5 6 is usm good for vlogging?

Not really, at least not as a main vlogging lens. My vlogging checklist asks for a wide view, around 16-20mm full-frame equivalent, because you hold the camera at arm's length. This lens starts at 18mm on APS-C, which is roughly 29mm full frame. That's too tight for selfie-style shooting, and it gets tighter once stabilisation crops in.

It's a sensible general-purpose zoom for everything else. If you want to use it for vlogging anyway, check the camera body for a screen that flips to the front and a microphone input. Those matter more than the lens, and a wider lens will serve you better.

See Video: what to look for in a vlogging camera for the full checklist, and the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM page for the cameras it fits.
