Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens

Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens
All-In-One Zoom Core – 28.8-320mm Equivalent Spectrum, 4-Stop Optical Image Stabilization & Dual UD/Aspherical Design (Excellent Condition / Includes Caps)
The Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS is a highly versatile, all-in-one standard telephoto zoom lens engineered natively for Canon’s crop-sensor (APS-C format) EF-S mount DSLRs. Spanning an expansive 11x zoom spectrum, this highly adaptable lens covers a 28.8-320mm full-frame equivalent focal length range, effortlessly transitioning from sweeping wide-angle vistas to highly compressed, long-reach telephoto framing. Built as the ultimate single-lens travel solution, it eliminates the need to constantly swap optics in the field, making it a definitive choice for vacation walkarounds, family sports tracking, and casual everyday documentation.

To maintain reliable sharpness and color accuracy across its extensive zoom boundaries, the advanced optical layout integrates two Ultra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements to minimize color fringing alongside two aspherical elements to systematically reduce distortion and spherical abnormalities. Individual elements are treated with Canon’s proprietary Super Spectra coating to combat lens flare and surface ghosting, ensuring rich frame contrast under intense lighting conditions. Handheld composition is heavily supported by an onboard 4-stop-effective Optical Image Stabilizer (IS) system that minimizes camera shake in dim environments, while a responsive DC Micro Motor handles autofocusing duties quickly and smoothly.

This lens is being offered in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition. It comes complete with a front lens cap and a rear lens cap. Please note that the lens hood is NOT included.

Key Features & Optical Performance
Expansive 28.8-320mm Equivalent Range: Combines an ultra-wide landscape perspective with an extended super-telephoto reach, consolidating an entire camera bag’s worth of focal options into a single compact barrel.

4-Stop Optical Image Stabilizer (IS): Hardware-based image stabilization compensates for up to four shutter speed stops of handheld camera shake, enabling crisper tracking at maximum telephoto extensions or in challenging low-light setups.

Dual UD & Aspherical Optical Core: Employs two Ultra-Low Dispersion glass elements and two aspherical elements to keep color fringing, chromatic aberrations, and peripheral distortions highly controlled for sharp, clean rendering.

Super Spectra Coating Technology: Suppresses internal reflections, lens flare, and surface ghosting, preserving natural color neutrality and high contrast when framing in backlit or bright daylight scenarios.

Quick DC Micro Motor Autofocus: Driven by a fast DC Micro Motor focusing assembly with a dedicated, physical AF/MF toggle switch on the barrel for instant transitions between automated tracking and manual control.

Close-Up Composition Capability: Features a close minimum focusing distance of just 1.5 feet across the zoom spectrum, allowing for tight, detailed close-up framing of near subjects.

Rounded 6-Blade Diaphragm: Outfitted with a six-blade circular aperture array to generate a smooth, natural, and visually pleasing out-of-focus background bokeh quality.

Hardware Inventory & Condition Diagnostics
Functional State: FULLY OPERATIONAL. The mechanical zoom ring travels smoothly and uniformly across the entire 18-200mm range without catching, the autofocus motor acquires subjects accurately, and the image stabilization unit engages silently. The internal glass elements are clean and free of blemishes.

Cosmetic Presentation: EXCELLENT CONDITION. The external lens housing, textured rubber zoom grip, and mounting bayonet display minimal, negligible signs of previous handling or field wear, presenting beautifully throughout.
