Condition:

  • Preowned equipment that shows little to no signs of wear
  • Including Front & Rear Caps.

The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II Lens is currently available only as part of a Canon DSLR kit - or used. It is designed as a starter/beginner lens that is low cost.

You do not pay much for this lens, and you see this in its construction quality. The first sign is the plastic lens mount. Actually, everything on the outside is plastic except for the lens glass. The advantage to this construction (besides low cost) is low weight - the 18-55 weighs an extremely light 6.7 oz (190g). This lens is small as well - 2.6" x 2.7" (69mm x 66.2mm).

There is no distance window on the 18-55 II. The tiny manual focusing ring is barely usable and is located on the end of the extending objective end of the lens. This lens is not meant for serious manual focusing as the object end of the inner barrel wobbles significantly when holding the MF ring - this moves the image in the viewfinder. This lens is shortest at around 35mm and extends to maximum length at either end of the focal length range. A micromotor autofocus drive means you will hear the autofocus action but it is not too slow. There is no FTM (Full Time Manual) focus. The large zoom ring is easy to find with no manual focus ring in the way.

The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II Lens exhibits moderate and somewhat unique barrel distortion at 18mm. The corners are fine, but there is a blob of distortion over a good portion of the middle of the image. Distortion clears up around 30mm and relatively minor pincushion distortion is present through the balance of the focal length range.
