All-in-One Extended Standard-to-Telephoto Zoom for Canon APS-C EOS R System – 29-240mm Full-Frame Equivalent Range, Optical Image Stabilizer (4.5 Stops Shake Correction / Up to 6.5 Stops with Coordinated Control IS), Lead Screw-Type STM Stepping Motor AF System, Advanced Optical Formulation (1 UD & 2 Aspherical Elements), Super Spectra Coating (SSC), Dual-Function Focus/Control Ring, Center Focus Macro Mode (Up to 0.59x Magnification), Rounded 7-Blade Diaphragm, Includes Front & Rear Lens Caps (Excellent Condition / Minor Rear Dust)

The Canon RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM is an all-in-one extended standard zoom lens designed specifically for Canon’s APS-C EOS R-series mirrorless cameras (such as the EOS R7, R10, R50, and R100, and fully usable on full-frame R bodies in 1.6x crop mode). Delivering a broad 29-240mm full-frame equivalent focal length range, this optic serves as a versatile, single-lens solution for travel photography, environmental portraiture, street documentary, landscapes, and distant athletic or wildlife action without requiring frequent lens changes.

The optical design incorporates 17 elements in 13 groups, featuring one Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) element alongside two precision aspherical elements to correct chromatic aberrations, spherical distortion, and color fringing throughout the 8.3x zoom span. Canon’s Super Spectra Coating (SSC) minimizes ghosting and internal flare, preserving high contrast and color fidelity in harsh lighting. For steady handheld shooting, the lens includes built-in Optical Image Stabilization providing up to 4.5 stops of shake correction on its own, and up to 6.5 stops of Coordinated Control IS when mounted on an EOS R camera body equipped with In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS). Autofocus is driven by a lead screw-type STM stepping motor for smooth, whisper-quiet focus acquisition during photo and video capture. The barrel features a knurled, configurable dual-function Focus/Control Ring, close-focusing Center Focus Macro capabilities down to 4.7 inches (0.59x magnification in manual focus), and a compact 55mm filter diameter.

CONDITION DIAGNOSTICS & PHYSICAL NOTES

Included Components: Supplied with the Canon RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens, Canon 55mm front snap-on lens cap, and Canon RF-mount rear dust cap. (Lens hood is not included).

Exterior & Physical Status: EXCELLENT CONDITION. The matte black composite barrel, textured zoom ring, knurled Focus/Control ring, and Canon RF bayonet mount show minimal signs of light handling.

Optical Status: EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH MINOR INTERNAL DUST. Front and rear exterior optical glass surfaces are clean and free of scratches, scuffs, haze, or fungus. A small amount of light dust is visible inside near the rear element; this internal particulate does not affect optical clarity, contrast, or final photographic results.

Mechanical & Electronic Status: FULLY FUNCTIONAL. The 8.3x zoom mechanism extends smoothly throughout the focal range; the lead screw-type STM autofocus motor locks swiftly, silently, and accurately; the Focus/Control ring operates smoothly; the Optical Image Stabilizer mechanism engages properly; the rounded 7-blade diaphragm actuates reliably across all aperture settings.

KEY FEATURES & PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

29-240mm Equivalent Zoom Span: Versatile 8.3x all-in-one range bridges wide-angle vistas, standard street views, and telephoto compression.

Powerful Image Stabilization: Built-in OIS delivers 4.5 stops of correction, expanding up to 6.5 stops with Coordinated Control IS on IBIS-equipped bodies.

Lead Screw-Type STM AF Motor: Delivers quiet, fluid, and responsive autofocus performance optimized for stills tracking and video production.

Advanced Optical Architecture: Uses 1 UD element and 2 aspherical elements to suppress aberrations and ensure edge-to-edge sharpness.

Super Spectra Coating (SSC): Controls flare and internal reflections to produce rich contrast and color accuracy in bright or backlit scenes.

Dual-Function Focus/Control Ring: Configurable barrel ring can be toggled via camera menu for manual focus or direct control of exposure parameters.

Center Focus Macro Capability: In manual focus mode, focuses down to 4.7 inches (12 cm) at 18mm with a high 0.59x magnification ratio for close-up details.

Ultra-Compact & Lightweight: Weighs just 10.9 oz (310 g), making it well-suited for travel setups and all-day handheld use.

Circular 7-Blade Diaphragm: Generates soft, circular out-of-focus highlights and pleasing background bokeh.
