  • Key Specs
    • Lens Mount Compatibility: Canon EF-S
    • Lens Type: Standard Zoom
    • Minimum Focal Length: 17 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
    • Maximum Focal Length: 55 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
    • Maximum Aperture: f/2.8 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)

Lens Buying Guide

  • Compatible with select Canon cameras: Designed for use with Canon EOS DSLR cameras with an APS-C sized sensor.
  • Standard zoom lens for versatile use: Choose the shot you want with an everyday lens that offers a range of focal lengths to meet the majority of your photo needs.
  • 17–55mm focal length: Allows you to capture a variety of wide-angle and telephoto shots within a broad range of focal lengths.
  • f/2.8 maximum aperture: Produces clear images even in low-light situations, including indoor settings and on overcast days.
  • 3-Stop optical image stabilization: Permits utilizing slower shutter speeds (up to 3 stops slower) without image blur.
  • Aspherical lens corrects aberration: Precision-ground lens focuses the light rays into a single point to reduce aberration and produce high-quality images.
  • UD glass for superior image quality: Effectively suppresses chromatic aberration for optimum lens performance.
  • Ultrasonic motor (USM) ensures smooth, precise focusing: Utilizes ultrasonic vibrations to focus the lens, resulting in smooth, silent and precise autofocusing. Ring-type USM permits manual focusing without switching out of auto mode.
  • Inner and rear focusing system: Design allows for a compact lens body with faster, more efficient autofocus performance.
