Canon EF-S 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6 IS II Lens – Overview

The Canon EF-S 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6 IS II Lens is a standard kit zoom lens designed for Canon APS-C DSLR cameras. It is commonly bundled with entry-level and mid-range Canon DSLRs and is ideal for everyday photography, portraits, travel, and general use.

With a versatile focal range and built-in image stabilization, this lens is a practical starting point for beginners learning photography.

Compact, lightweight, and versatile, the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II from Canon is a standard zoom offering a 28.8-88mm equivalent focal length range. One aspherical element is featured in the lens design and helps to control spherical aberrations and distortion throughout the zoom range for consistent sharpness and clarity. A Super Spectra coating has also been applied to individual elements to control flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color accuracy in all lighting conditions. Complementing the imaging capabilities is a four-stop-effective Image Stabilizer system that minimizes the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. Additionally, a Micro Motor autofocus system delivers quick focusing performance and a minimum focusing distance of 9.8" is available at all focal lengths for close-up shooting.
