Affordable, high-quality zoom
The EF-S 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS II is a high-quality standard zoom lens that is especially attractive for photographers who like to go on the road with little luggage. With an equivalent focal length of 29-88 mm by 35 mm, the large zoom range makes this lens suitable for versatile photography. For close-up photography, you can work over the entire zoom range at a distance of up to 25 cm.
Image Stabilizer
To minimize the chance of blurry results, the EF-S 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS II features Canon's latest 4-stop Image Stabilizer technology. This allows photographers to use shutter speeds that are 4 times longer without an increase in image blur being perceptible - ideal for low-light photography.
Aspherical lens element with Super Spectra coating
In addition to a true-to-life color balance and sharp, high-contrast images, the Super Spectra coatings also ensure that reflections and glare do not affect the result. This is done by absorbing light that is reflected by the camera's sensor or the internal lens elements. An aspherical lens element ensures sharp, contrast-rich images - even at full aperture.
Circular aperture
For large aperture photography, a circular aperture creates a smooth, even background blur without distractions, so that the subjects are emphasized in the foreground.
Lead-free glass
Only environmentally friendly lead-free glass is used in the EF-S 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS II.
Accessories
The EF-S 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS II comes with a lens cap and dust cover. A lens hood (EW-60C) and soft lens case (LP814) are available as an optional accessory.
