Equipped with Canon"s Optical Image Stabilizer (IS) technology, the Canon EF-S 18-55mm II standard zoom lens is ideal for just about any application. IS technology compensates for camera shake by providing the equivalent effect of a shutter speed up to four stops faster. This allows you to take sharp handheld shots even in low-light conditions--a must for sports and nature photography. The lens also offers an aspherical lens element that corrects for aberration, thus producing a topnotch image throughout the zoom range, and a circular aperture that exquisitely renders out-of-focus backgrounds. Despite its minimal size, weight, and cost, the lens expands the picture-taking possibilities any time slow shutter speeds are needed.Specifications: * Focal length: 18 to 55mm * Maximum aperture: f/3.5 to f/5.6 * Lens construction: 11 elements in 9 groups * Angle of view: 74 degrees @ 20 feet to 27 degrees @ 50 feet * Focus adjustment: Autofocus (DC motor) with manual focus option * Closest focusing distance: 9.8 inches * Filter size: 58mm * Dimensions: 2.7 inches in diameter and 3.33 inches long * Weight: 7.1 ounces * Warranty: 1 year. ++PLUS++ 10pc Deluxe Accessory Kit: - UV Protection Filter: protects the lens & reduces lens flare and ghosting caused by reflections - CPL Filter: Removes unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces, and lets you achieve vibrant color saturation - FL-D Filter: balances light in outdoor situations or where fluorescent lights are used - Filter case - Protective Pull String Closer Soft Lens Pouch - Soft Rubber Lens Hood (Prevents image-degrading lens flare by blocking stray light) - High Quality 2 in 1 Lens Cleaning Pen (brush & spray) - High Quality Dust Cleaner Blower (Excellent way to remove dust off sensitive camera parts without physical contact) - Universal Lens Cap Keeper - HeroFiber® Ultra Gentle Cleaning Cloth.
