Standard zoom lens for APS-C EOS bodies

The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II is a compact zoom lens built for Canon APS-C format DSLRs with an EF-S mount. It covers a 28.8-88mm equivalent focal range suitable for everyday photography from wide-angle to short telephoto. The lens uses 11 elements in 9 groups including one aspherical element to correct aberrations throughout the zoom range. It is intended for photographers who want a lightweight, affordable standard zoom with built-in stabilisation.

Variable aperture limits low-light use at long end

The maximum aperture varies from f/3.5 at 18mm to f/5.6 at 55mm, restricting light gathering at longer focal lengths. The minimum aperture reaches f/22 at the wide end and f/38 at the telephoto end for depth-of-field control. Optical Image Stabilisation provides up to four stops of shake correction for sharper handheld shots at slower shutter speeds. The micro motor autofocus system drives focus without full-time manual override while in AF mode.

Simple mount on compatible EF-S cameras

The lens mounts directly onto any Canon EOS body listed in the compatibility list including 7D, 60D, 50D, 40D, 30D, 20D and Rebel series models. A 58mm filter thread accepts standard screw-in filters for protection or creative effects. The front element does not rotate during focusing, making polarising filters easier to use. Buyers needing full-frame coverage or a constant maximum aperture should consider other lens options.
