Canon EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS II Lens

The Canon EF-S 18-55mm is a light and compact lens and covers the equivalent of 29-88mm in 35mm format. It's ideal for general photography, giving wide angle, standard and short telephoto perspectives. Four stops of image stabilisation give you much more scope to shoot in low light too. Only environmentally-friendly, lead-free glass is used in the construction.

Image Stabiliser
To minimise risk of image blur, the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II incorporates Canon’s four-stop Image Stabilizer technology. This allows photographers to use shutter speeds up to four times slower than normal with no perceptible increase in image blur - ideal for shooting in low light.

Aspherical lens element with Super Spectra coating
As well as ensuring true colour balance and sharp, high contrast images, Super Spectra coatings combat ghosting and flare by absorbing light reflecting off digital camera sensors or internal lens elements. An aspherical lens element delivers crisp, high contrast images - even with the aperture fully open.

Circular aperture
For shots taken at wide apertures, a circular aperture diaphragm gives a smooth, even blur to your background, helping to emphasise foreground subjects and remove distractions.
