Kit lens for APS-C DSLRs
The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II is a compact zoom lens designed for Canon APS-C digital SLR cameras. It covers wide-angle to short telephoto perspectives in a single, lightweight package. Optical image stabilization helps reduce camera shake by up to 4 stops for sharper handheld shots. The lens ships new in a white box and has never been used.
Suits beginners and casual photographers
This kit lens suits buyers who want an affordable, versatile zoom for everyday shooting on a Canon APS-C DSLR. It is not for photographers who need a constant maximum aperture throughout the zoom range. It is not for users of full-frame Canon cameras, as the EF-S mount is incompatible. It is not for buyers who require weather sealing or a premium build.
Optical image stabilization up to 4 stops
The built-in optical image stabilizer provides up to 4 stops of shake correction, which is the key specification for low-light and slower shutter-speed work. The lens uses 16 elements in 12 groups, including one aspherical and UD-glass elements, with a Super Spectra coating to suppress flare. A rounded 6-blade diaphragm and micro motor AF complete the core specification.

Questions about this item
Does the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II maintain sharpness at 55 mm after long periods of continuous shooting?
The optical design uses 16 elements in 12 groups, including UD-glass and one aspherical element, to control distortion and spherical aberration across the full zoom range.
How quiet is the autofocus motor during extended video recording?
A micro-motor AF system drives the focus group; it produces audible mechanical noise that the camera's internal microphone can pick up while filming.
Which camera body mount is required for this EF-S lens to function?
The lens is built for Canon EF-S mount APS-C DSLR bodies; it will not mount on full-frame EF or RF cameras without an adapter.
