  • Wide everyday zoom range from 18-55 mm
  • Optical Image Stabilizer gives up to 4-stop shake correction

Everyday APS-C zoom

The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Mark II is a standard zoom lens built for APS-C sensor cameras such as the EOS Digital Rebel and 20D through 60D models. Its focal range covers 18-55mm, equivalent to approximately 28-90mm in 35mm format. Optical image stabilisation provides up to 3-4 stop compensation for camera shake. Specially shaped elements and Super Spectra coatings reduce ghosting and flare.

Best for kit replacement and casual shooting

This lens suits photographers wanting a lightweight everyday zoom for general use on compatible APS-C bodies. It is not for shooters who need a wider maximum aperture for low-light work or shallow depth of field. Buyers who want more telephoto reach beyond 55mm should look at something else. Full-frame camera owners cannot use this EF-S mount lens.

Build considerations

The lens mounts directly on any Canon EF-S compatible APS-C SLR without an adapter. Its short back-focus design takes full advantage of the smaller image circle. An optional lens hood can be added to further cut flare. The compact form factor keeps the overall kit light for travel or daily carry.

Questions about this item

Which camera bodies can I mount this EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II lens on?

It fits Canon EOS models with an APS-C sensor such as the Digital Rebel series, 20D, 20Da, 30D, 40D, 50D, 60D and 7D.

Will the 18-55mm zoom range still cover 28-90mm equivalent on my older 20D or 30D?

Yes, on any APS-C body the focal length gives an approximate 28-90mm field of view in 35mm terms.

How can I verify the Image Stabilizer is giving the stated 3-4 stop benefit after I attach the lens?

Shoot hand-held at slow shutter speeds; sharp results at 3-4 stops slower than the reciprocal rule confirm the IS is active.
