Standard Zoom
In response to demands of photographers, this standard zoom lens is designed with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology while retaining the compactness and lightness of previous models. Its stabilization allows sharp hand-held shots at shutter speeds up to four stops slower than otherwise possible. It consists of 11 elements in 9 groups and 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. Without a lot of size, weight or cost, this lens expands picture-taking possibilities any time slow shutter speeds are needed.

The EF-S mount lens will only mount to Canon digital SLR cameras with sub-frame (APS-C) sensors. Thus, for this particular lens, it will exhibit an effective focal length of 29-88mm. The lens takes 58mm filters, and a lens hood is indicated as an optional...

At the beginning of 2011, along with launches of new reflex cameras, a new kit lens was shown as well - we think here about the EF-S 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II model, equipped with optical image stabilization, which is supposed to accompany the simplest ref...

Bad plastic casing and mount, chromatic aberration at shorter focal lengths could have been lower, noticeable distortion at 18 mm, high vignetting at the widest angle, not efficient stabilization, modest standard accessory kit.
Bottom line The results of our test indicate that the new version of this lens, compared to its predecessor, has undergone nothing more serious than a delicate “lifting”. Additionally the alterations concerned mainly the casing because the optical system features jus...
