About the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lens

The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II is the standard zoom supplied with many Canon APS-C DSLRs. Its 18-55mm range gives a versatile 29-88mm equivalent, covering wide-angle to short telephoto for everyday shooting. The built-in Image Stabiliser reduces the effect of camera shake by up to four stops, helping in low light and at the telephoto end. A lightweight, compact design makes it a practical walk-around lens, and it focuses as close as 0.25m for close-up shots. This Mark II version is a cosmetic update of Canon's classic kit lens, with the same optical design and micro motor autofocus.
