Read all of the reviews, see detailed specifications and check the price. The world's number 1 Canon Review website with every Canon EF Lens. Shorter than the previous f3.5-5.6 version Note lack of IS switch compared to IS mk2 Note lack of silver ring and lettering changes compared to original 18-55 IS Note change of focus ring and taper at front. The non USM version was only found in kits Spotting which EF-S 18-55 you have 18-55 mk1 and USM It's 215 g but only 62mm long, retaining the same 58mm filter size. The lens widest aperture is reduced to f/4 and the lens is shortened. In February 2017, Canon announced a new EF-S18-55 f4-5.6 IS STM lens alongside the EOS 800D and EOS 77D Similar to the IS II but without image stabilisationįeaturing a revised optical design and utilising stepper motor technology Identical to the IS I but with a revised external design Identical to the Mk II USM but without an ultrasonic motorĪdds image stabilisation and improves image quality problems of the Mk I and II. Similar optics to the Mk I, but with changes to the shape of the zoom ring and the tapered area at the front of the lens A normal lens is one that doesnt fall into another category such as wide angle or telephoto, and typically has a focal length between 35mm and 70mm. Identical to the Mk I USM but without an ultrasonic motor Note that there may be undocumented ones too

Whilst software will ameliorate some issues, there is only so much you can do to 'fix' things. The lens is not of particularly high image quality, which is much more obvious on modern higher resolution cameras. For brilliant image quality the lens uses a compact six-group zoom system that includes a high-precision aspheric element to reduce chromatic aberration.

If you have a choice, avoid the original versions. originally available only in conjunction with a camera body) The USM, I, II USM and II are similar, differing in the focus motor type (the I and II appearing only as kit option lenses, i.e. The IS, IS II and III are next downwards in image quality and differ only in external deign and the lack of IS in the III (this model indentification causes the most confusion) The latest STM version is optically the best, and quietest, if you want to shoot video. Actually, there are (Nov 2013) nine versions, since in Japan, Canon announced a white version of the IS STM version to go with the white Kiss-7 (100D) The EF-S 18-55mm dates back to 2003, and by 2013 existed in eight different guises. There is regular confusion as to what version of Canon's standard 'kit lens' is fitted to cameras.
