Equipped with Optical Image Stabilization
The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II is a highly compact, lightweight standard zoom lens designed specifically for Canon’s APS-C format DSLR cameras (such as the Rebel series, 60D/70D/80D, and 7D). Providing a highly practical 28.8-88mm full-frame equivalent focal range, this everyday lens spans a versatile wide-angle to short-telephoto field of view.
Outfitted with an integrated 4-stop Optical Image Stabilizer and a sharp aspherical element, it serves as an incredibly portable walkaround option for casual landscapes, daily snapshots, and close-up street photography.
CONDITION NOTE (WELL USED / REPAIR & CHARACTER GRADE)
This standard zoom lens is graded in Well Used condition and exhibits physical and optical defects typical of heavy field use. While it remains mechanically and electronically operational, it is being offered at a steep discount for budget-conscious shooters, students, or lens technicians.
Damaged Filter Thread: The front plastic filter thread has a distinct chip in it. However, the threads remain functional and the lens can still successfully thread and hold a 58mm filter or lens cap securely in place.
Rear Element Fungus & Dust: Internal inspection reveals a collection of fine optical dust particles and light organic fungus growth beginning to form inside the rear glass element. This internal cloudiness may cause a subtle loss of overall contrast and increased bloom when shooting directly into harsh backlighting or bright ambient light sources.
Functional Status: Fully operational. The autofocus Micro Motor locks onto targets quickly, the 4-stop Image Stabilizer engages smoothly to counteract hand shake, and the physical zoom ring rotates freely across the full 18-55mm track.
Optical Features & 4-Stop Camera Shake Correction
28.8-88mm Versatile Snapshot Reach: Delivers an ideal focal baseline for everyday photography, letting you transition smoothly from wide-angle architecture frames to tight, compressed portrait shots.
4-Stop Effective Image Stabilization: Built-in Optical Image Stabilization compensates for up to four shutter speed stops of camera shake. This system allows you to confidently shoot crisp handheld images at slower shutter speeds or in low-light indoor environments without a tripod.
Aspherical Element & Super Spectra Coating: Incorporates one molded aspherical element to suppress spherical aberrations and distortion for consistent clarity. Individual elements are treated with a Super Spectra Coating to combat internal reflections and minimize lens flare.
Rounded Six-Blade Diaphragm: Utilizes a rounded 6-blade aperture array that contributes a soft, pleasing out-of-focus bokeh quality when tracking subjects with a shallow depth of field.
Responsive Autofocus & Close-Up Capabilities
Micro Motor AF with Dedicated Switch: Driven by a quick Micro Motor autofocus system that syncs cleanly with the camera body. A dedicated physical AF/MF switch on the lens barrel permits immediate toggling between automatic tracking and manual focus adjustments.
9.8-Inch Close-Focus Distance: Maintains a tight minimum focusing distance of just 9.8 inches (25 cm) throughout the entire zoom range. This allows you to step remarkably close to nearby macro-style subjects, food layouts, or fine textures.
