Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens for EOS 450D 500D 550D 1000D…

Description

The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS is an excellent lens for APS-C sized EOS digital SLR cameras. It combines a very useful zoom range with image stabilization in a light and well-performing package. Its 4-stop Image Stabilizer provides great performance in low light conditions.

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. To minimize 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. As well as ensuring true color 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.
