Canon 18-55mm IS STM Zoom Lens

Built for Every Shot, Stills or Video

Meet your go-to zoom for Canon APS-C cameras. The EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM covers a 18-55mm focal range — equivalent to 29-88mm on a full-frame body — giving you genuine versatility from wide-angle scenes to compressed mid-telephoto portraits. Whether you're capturing a crowded street or a quiet interior, this lens adapts without hesitation.

At the heart of its performance is Optical Image Stabilization delivering up to 4 stops of shake correction, so you walk away with sharp images even when light gets challenging. Pair that with a precision aspherical element that tames chromatic aberration across the entire zoom range, and you get consistent edge-to-edge sharpness and contrast shot after shot.

Smooth, Silent, and Smartly Designed

Video creators will appreciate the STM stepping motor, which works seamlessly with Canon's EOS Movie Servo AF to deliver smooth, near-silent continuous autofocus during recording — no distracting hunting or motor noise. Manual focus override is available at any time, even while in AF mode, for those moments that demand precise control. The internal focusing system keeps the lens compact, prevents front-element rotation (making polarizing filters a breeze to use), and achieves a close minimum focusing distance of just 9.8 inches. Optimized coatings minimize ghosting and flare, and a 7-blade circular diaphragm renders background blur in a naturally pleasing way.
