Widen Your Perspective
Take in more—of your travels, surroundings, and day-to-day adventures—with the Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM lens. Specifically designed for APS-C sensor Canon DSLRs (and providing an equivalent focal range of 16-28.8mm), this wide-angle zoom lens sees beyond what the naked eye can. This makes it ideal for capturing subjects too grand in scope for standard lenses, from sprawling cityscapes to real estate interiors and epic mountain ranges.
Smooth, Crisp Shots Without Distortion
This Canon EF-S 10-18mm wide angle lens features a UD element, an aspherical element, and a large-diameter element, minimising unwanted chromatic aberrations and distortion throughout the zoom range. This gives your images clarity and sharpness at every focal length while eliminating unwanted imperfections in your images.
Enhanced Lens Coatings
Anti-reflection lens coatings have been applied to the Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM lens to reduce flare and ghosting. This helps improve image quality and remove unwanted colour distortions and aberrations in areas of low contrast. So you can worry less about unwelcome glare, halos and haze when shooting in sunny situations or towards bright light sources.
Keep Your Shots Steady and Blur-Free
The Canon 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM lens is equipped with an optical image stabiliser (IS). This minimises blur from camera shake by up to four stops – great for photographing subjects sharply even when shooting handheld. It also helps even when you’re shooting from a long distance, which typically makes it harder to capture blur-free shots.
Quick, Accurate, and Quiet Autofocus
With advanced autofocus (AF) algorithms and a high-speed CPU, the Canon 10-18mm lens’ stepping motor (STM) achieves smooth, near-silent AF that’s quick and accurate. This allows you to stay in the moment and capture the action sharply in focus.
Create Soft Bokeh Effects
Capture dreamy bokeh in the foreground or background to really define your subject. The Canon 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM lens’ seven-blade circular diaphragm helps to produce soft out-of-focus effects where desired. This creates a beautiful artistic or romantic quality that’s perfect for nature, portrait, and architecture photography.

FAQs
1. Will this lens fit a full-frame Canon DSLR?
No, the EF-S mount is specifically designed for Canon APS-C sensor DSLRs and cannot be mounted on full-frame (EF mount) camera bodies.
2. Is the autofocus noisy during video recording?
Thanks to the STM (Stepping Motor) technology and a high-speed CPU, autofocus is incredibly smooth and near-silent, making it excellent for video work.
3. Does this lens have image stabilisation?
Yes, it features an Optical Image Stabiliser that provides up to four stops of correction, helping you capture sharp handheld shots even in lower light.
4. What type of photography is this lens best for?
With its ultra-wide perspective, it is ideal for landscapes, architectural interiors, real estate, and travel photography where you need to fit more into the frame.
5. Can I achieve a shallow depth of field with this lens?
While ultra-wide lenses naturally have a deep depth of field, the 7-blade circular aperture helps produce soft, pleasing bokeh when shooting close to your subject.
