The
EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS is a high-quality, standard zoom lens that
will appeal to photographers who prefer to travel light. With a focal
length equivalent of 29-88mm in 35mm format, the lens’ wide zoom range
is suitable for most general photography. For close-up work, auto focus
continues to work at distances of just 0.25m (25cm) throughout the zoom
range.
Image Stabilizer
To
minimise risk of image blur, the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS incorporates
Canon’s latest 4-stop compensation Image Stabilizer technology. This
allows photographers to use shutter speeds up to 4 times slower 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 opened.
Circular aperture
For
shots taken at full aperture, a circular aperture diaphragm creates
smooth, even bokeh (background blur), helping to emphasise subjects and
remove distracting backgrounds.
Lead-free glass
Only environmentally-friendly, lead-free glass is used in the construction of the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS.
