Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS review
In response to demands of photographers, this standard zoom lens is
designed with Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer technology while
retaining the compactness and lightness of previous models. Its
stabilization allows sharp hand-held shots at shutter speeds up to four
stops slower than otherwise possible. It consists of 11 elements in 9
groups and uses an Aspherical lens element to correct aberration for
excellent image quality throughout the zoom range and a circular aperture
for exquisite rendering of out-of-focus backgrounds. Without a lot of size,
weight or cost, this lens expands picture-taking possibilities any time
slow shutter speeds are needed.
