USED Canon EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens

The 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS STM zoom lens features Canon's STM (stepping motor) design, to ensure fast, accurate and more importantly, quiet operation. With a focal length of 29-88mm in 35mm format, the lens' wide zoom range is suitable for general photography, including landscapes and portraits, while its minimum working distance at 0.25m (25cm) is great for close-ups. Image Stabilisation reduces camera shake and blur and allows shooting at shutter speeds up to four stops slower than normal. Its lightweight and compact construction makes it extremely portable for travel photography.

STM Motor technology provides near-silent focusing to leave your video soundtrack uninterrupted by noise, and adjusts smoothly and precisely as you shoot.

Designed for great photography
Focus on small subjects, with a closest focusing distance of just 0.25m. A non-rotating front element makes using filters straightforward, and a manual focus ring enables manual override of focusing at any time.

Great image quality, whatever the subject
A Super Spectra Coating is used to reduce flare and improve sharpness, while a seven-bladed aperture provides smooth out-of-focus highlights for a more natural look and feel.

Canon's STM lenses
Canon's new line of STM (stepping motor) lenses are specifically designed for shooting video with the camera's Movie Servo AF mode. The STM lenses have been released alongside the Canon EOS 650D, 700D and 100D and are designed to work with the cameras AF (autofocus) system so that they're fast, accurate and silent. The result is a movie that sounds professional without the sound of the noisy AF motor in the background.
