EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM

The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM is a standard zoom lens designed for Canon APS-C-format DSLRs, providing a 28.8-88mm equivalent focal length range suitable for wide-angle to portrait perspectives. The lens features an Optical Image Stabilizer that reduces camera shake by up to four stops, enabling sharper handheld shooting in low-light conditions. One aspherical element minimizes distortion and spherical aberrations, while Super Spectra coating suppresses flare and ghosting for improved contrast in bright lighting.

The STM stepping autofocus motor delivers smooth, near-silent focusing with full-time manual focus override capability, complemented by a rounded seven-blade diaphragm that provides pleasing bokeh for shallow depth of field work. This compact and lightweight lens weighs just 7.6 ounces and features a 58mm filter thread, making it an versatile everyday zoom for general-purpose photography on Canon DSLR bodies.
