Canon RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens
The Canon RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens boasts a versatile zoom range in a compact package. It features a wide-angle to short telephoto equivalent zoom range of 29-72mm and was designed for Canon's APS-C-format R Series mirrorless line. In addition, the camera's retractable design makes it ideal for everyday use when you want to carry it in a bag.
Canon has utilized two aspherical elements and Super Spectra Coating to minimize aberrations and reduce ghosting and flare in the optical design. An Optical Image Stabilizer can provide up to 4 stops of shake correction or up to 6 stops of Coordinated IS with a compatible camera body. Moreover, the lead screw-type STM AF system is quick enough to keep up with rapid continuous focus while remaining smooth and quiet enough for video.
