Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lens
Compact APS-C Standard Zoom – 28.8-88mm Equivalent Focal Range, 4-Stop Optical Image Stabilization & Super Spectra Coating (Well Used Condition / Includes Caps, No Hood, Cracked Filter Thread)

The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II is an ultra-compact and lightweight standard zoom lens designed for APS-C format Canon EF-S mount DSLRs. Providing a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 28.8-88mm, this versatile walkaround optic covers everyday photography needs ranging from wide-angle landscapes to short-telephoto portraits.

Optically, the lens incorporates one precision aspherical element to suppress distortion and spherical aberrations across the zoom range, maintaining edge-to-edge resolution. Individual lens elements feature Canon’s Super Spectra coating to minimize internal reflections, lens flare, and ghosting under bright lighting conditions. An Optical Image Stabilizer (IS) system offers up to four stops of camera shake compensation for sharper handheld shooting in low-light environments, while a Micro Motor autofocus mechanism provides quick focus response with a 9.8-inch close focusing distance at all focal lengths.
