Compact Standard Zoom Lens
The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II is a lightweight and highly versatile standard zoom lens designed specifically for APS-C format Canon DSLRs. Providing a highly practical 28.8-88mm equivalent focal length range, it covers everything from wide-angle landscapes to short-telephoto portraits.

Item Condition & Notes
Condition: Sold AS-IS / Well Used
Optical Flaws: The internal glass elements are full of dust and fungus. While the lens is mechanically and electronically working fine (autofocus and image stabilization engage properly), the significant internal fungus and dust will impact image quality, causing a loss of contrast, softness, and increased flare. It is sold strictly as-is for parts, repair, or experimental vintage-effect shooting.
Included Accessories: Lens only. (Caps/hood not included unless specified).
Key Features & Engineering
Versatile APS-C Zoom Range: Delivers a flexible 28.8-88mm equivalent field of view, making it an ideal starter or multi-purpose lens for daily photography.
4-Stop Optical Image Stabilizer: Features built-in stabilization that counteracts camera shake by up to four shutter speed stops, assisting with sharper handheld shots in lower light.
Micro Motor AF System: Equipped with a quick autofocus motor alongside a dedicated AF/MF switch for instantaneous swapping between automatic and manual focus control.
Aspherical & Coated Optics: Incorporates one aspherical element to minimize spherical aberrations, along with Super Spectra coatings designed to mitigate ghosting and flare.
Rounded 6-Blade Diaphragm: Utilizes a six-blade aperture mechanism to help provide a pleasing out-of-focus quality when employing shallow depth of field techniques.
