The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Standard Zoom lens delivers an excellent performance at an affordable price for all photographers while retaining compactness and lightness. It uses an aspherical lens element to correct aberration for excellent image quality throughout the zoom range and a circular aperture for exquisite rendering of out-of-focus backgrounds.
Designed with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology, this lens captures sharp handheld shots even in low-light condition. More significantly, the image stabilizer effect creates an equivalent shutter speed of roughly four stops faster than the same size lens without an image stabilizer. Whether you photograph the far-off action or zoom in for an intimate portrait, this Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Standard Zoom lens is a perfect solution for select Canon EOS digital SLRs.
