NOTE: Some artifacts in between lens elements that may show in image.

The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS is a compact standard zoom lens built for Canon’s EF-S mount APS-C DSLR system. Covering a focal range equivalent to approximately 29-88mm in full-frame terms, it spans a practical everyday shooting range from moderate wide-angle through short telephoto suited to travel, street, and general-purpose photography. The variable maximum aperture runs from f/3.5 at the wide end to f/5.6 at full extension, and built-in optical Image Stabilization helps compensate for camera movement during handheld shooting. A micro motor handles autofocus operation, and the compact and lightweight construction makes it a natural everyday pairing with Canon’s APS-C DSLR bodies, commonly included as a kit lens alongside entry to mid-level Canon EF-S mount bodies.
