Canon RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens

Start your creative journey with the Canon RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM, the ultra-compact standard zoom lens designed specifically for Canon’s APS-C EOS R series cameras. Thanks to its clever retractable design, this lens is exceptionally small and lightweight, making it the perfect take-anywhere partner for daily shooting, vlogging, and travel. Its versatile zoom range, equivalent to 29-72mm on a full-frame camera, covers the most frequently used perspectives, from wide-angle group photos and landscapes to standard views and flattering portraits.

Engineered for modern content creation, the RF-S 18-45mm features a lead screw-type STM stepping motor that delivers impressively smooth, quiet, and responsive autofocus performance for both stills and video. This ensures you can capture spontaneous moments without delay and record clean audio without distracting focus noise. For sharp handheld shooting, the built-in Optical Image Stabilizer provides up to 4 stops of shake correction, which increases to an incredible 6.5 stops when paired with a camera body featuring Coordinated IS. Two aspherical elements and a Super Spectra Coating work together to deliver clear, high-quality images with minimized lens aberrations and flare.
