Features

1.The Image Stabilizer gives the equivalent effect of a shutter speed four stops faster*. This function provides optimal image stabilization depending on shooting conditions (such as shooting still subjects and following shots).

2.UD lens elements for excellent imaging performance.

3.Great close-ups at 1.1 m/3.6 ft at all focal lengths.

4.A truly round aperture hole results in a nicer background blur.

*Based on [1/(focal length x 1.6)] second. Generally, it requires a shutter speed [1/focal length] second or faster to prevent camera shake (in 35mm format.

With an EF-S lens, it would be [1/(focal length x 1.6)] second).
