High-quality zoom at a low price

The EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II is a high-quality standard zoom lens that should suit photographers who don't like to be burdened with extras. This lens has a focal length equivalent of 29-88mm in 35mm format, so its wide-angle zoom range will cover most common photography needs. For close-up shots, the working distance is just 0.25m (25cm) throughout the zoom range.

Image stabilizer

To reduce the risk of image blur, the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II features Canon's four-stop Image Stabilizer technology. It allows photographers to use shutter speeds up to four stops slower than normal without a noticeable increase in image blur - ideal when shooting in low light.

Aspherical lens element with Super Spectra coating

Super Spectra coatings not only ensure accurate color balance and bright, high-contrast images, but also prevent ghosting and flare by absorbing light reflected from the camera's digital sensors or internal lens elements. An aspherical lens element ensures clear, high-contrast images even when the aperture is fully open.

Ring diaphragm

When shooting with a wide aperture, the ring aperture smoothes and even blurs the background, helping to highlight foreground subjects and eliminate distracting parts of the image.

Lead-free glass

The EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II telephoto lens uses only environmentally friendly, lead-free glass.
