The EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM has three aspheric lens elements that help reduce aberration throughout the zoom range to provide high resolution and high contrast for superb image quality. Optimized lens placement and coatings ensure minimized ghosting and flare.
Full review. Canon’s new EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens is offered as a cheaper alternative to the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens which was developed to match the EOS 650D. More compact, lighter and cheaper than the 18-135mm lens, it also features the STM (stepping-motor) AF system, which supports Canon’s EOS Movie Servo AF feature
The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM is a solid starter lens, but not one that you should buy at full price. Tamron 18-400mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD. $699.00 at Amazon
