Supplied as a basic kit lens with entry-level Canon DSLRs, the EFS 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens covers a focal length range equivalent to 28.2 to 88mm in 35mm format.
This is a good choice of focal lengths for general photography and will suit subjects as diverse as scenery and portraiture.
Equipped with built-in image stabilisation (which Canon claims offers up to four f-stops of shutter speed advantage) it will focus as close as 25 cm at all focal length settings.
The light weight (200 grams) of this lens is because it’s largely made from hard polycarbonate plastic – right down to the mounting plate. Two contact plates on the mount interact with the eight contacts on the camera body, transferring distance and focusing information.
Designed exclusively for Canon cameras with APS-C size image sensors, its optics have been made from environmentally friendly lead-free glass. Consisting of 11 elements in nine groups, it features one high precision aspherical element.
