The Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM ($299.99) may feel like a budget lens thanks to plastic construction (including its lens mount), but its feature set and the images it captures tell a different story. The lens, compatible with APS-C Canon cameras, features an STM focus motor for smooth video autofocus with select bodies, and image stabilization to steady handheld video. There's some barrel distortion at the wide end, and we wish the lens was a bit more sturdily built, but given its price tag and the general quality of photos it's an easy lens to recommend for wide-angle Canon photographers and videographers. The 10-18mm is very compact, especially when you consider just how wide of a field of view it covers. It measures in at 2.8 by 2.9 inches (HD), weighs 8.5 ounces, and supports 67mm front filters. Its field of view is roughly equivalent to a 16-29mm zoom on a full-frame camera, and while the 1.8x zoom ratio sounds modest, the change in angle of view is substantial when z...

Plastic lens mount; Lots of barrel distortion at 10mm; Some color fringing; Lens hood not included; Narrow aperture

Great little lens, and for price take nice wide angle shots, even though mine camera is APS-C. Recommended.

Overall, a well-constructed lens with an affordable price with IS & STM. A wide angel 10-18 (35mm format 16-29mm) IQ is above kit lens. Can sneak into a confined place very well. ideal 4 Video. A good investment for a beginner / armature g photographer Overall 9/10

Specification This compact ultra-wide angle lens for Canon APS-C format digital SLRs features Canon's latest stepping focusing motor technology, which promises, smoother, quieter autofocus performance, which is especially suited to recording video.

The best aps-c ultrawide you can buy at this price, and even spending twice as much for a similar lens the image quality would be the same or worse. I had a Sigma 10-20 and the Canon is a little better and costs less.

Very good image quality; accurate and silent Autofocus; lightweight; inexpensive; stabilization; full time manual focus

Plastic mount; small aperture; lack of distance scale

Canon's EF-S 10-18mm IS STM is a lightweight and affordable ultra-wide zoom for its cropped-frame / APSC format DSLRs. The coverage takes over where most kit lenses start, but zooms so much wider, capturing vast landscapes, huge buildings, or just large group shots when you can't step back any...

Canon's ultra-wide entry for APS-C cameras is a hidden gem. Featuring a traditional landscape focal distance and slight 240g weight, it's an ideal kit bag companion. The optics include 14 elements in 11 groups, and seven rounded diaphragm blades, though this is not a lens designed to capture bokeh.

Canon has quite a wealth of ultra-wide angle lenses - the current range includes no less than 3 zoom lenses and a whole bunch of primes. However, it seems as if Canon also wants to compete in the budget arena. They have just thrown the Canon EF-S 10-18m f/4.5-5.6 IS STM into the game.

A real lightweight with a price tag to match, this lens is compact and affordable...
