Canon RF-S 18-45mm IS STM Zoom Lens

Your Everyday Zoom, Engineered for RF-S Mirrorless

Slip it in your bag without a second thought — the Canon RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM is a retractable, pocketable zoom built from the ground up for Canon's APS-C R Series mirrorless cameras. Its 18-45mm focal range translates to a 29-72mm full-frame equivalent, putting wide environmental shots and flattering short-telephoto framing within a single, effortless twist of the zoom ring.

Optical Precision Meets Real-World Shooting

Canon engineered this lens with two aspherical elements and Super Spectra Coating, working together to suppress chromatic aberrations while keeping ghosting and flare firmly under control — even when shooting into bright light. The built-in Optical Image Stabilizer delivers up to 4 stops of shake correction on its own, or an impressive 6 stops of Coordinated IS when paired with a compatible camera body. When it comes to focusing, the lead screw-type STM stepping motor tracks subjects quickly during continuous AF and runs quietly enough that video creators won't pick up unwanted motor noise. A customizable control ring adds a tactile shortcut for exposure adjustments or other functions, and a rounded 7-blade diaphragm shapes backgrounds into smooth, natural blur. This is the lens you reach for first — every single day.
