Ideally matched for the EOS 40D SLR, the optically image-stabilized Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS features wide-angle to mid-range zoom and offers a significant advantage of a lens-shift image stabilization system that has up to four full stops of image-shake correction.
The high-performance lens is powered by Canon's lens-shift system, which is optimal in low light, long zoom or movement while shooting. Using the viewfinder, the shooter is able to see the image stabilization effect in action, allowing for more accurate framing and composition. The lens is both compact and lightweight, and is also compatible with the EOS 30D, 20D, 20Da, EOS Digital Rebel XTi, Digital Rebel XT and the original Digital Rebel cameras.
The EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens has an estimated selling price of $199.
