The Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM Lens is a wide-angle zoom lens designed specifically for EOS APS-C DSLRs where it provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 16-28.8mm. The optical design incorporates one aspherical element one UD Ultra-low dispersion element and one large-diameter element to minimize chromatic aberrations throughout the zoom range and contribute to notable image sharpness and clarity. Enhanced lens coatings have also been applied to lens elements to minimize lens flare and ghosting for maintained image contrast and color neutrality.Benefitting working in difficult lighting conditions an Optical Image Stabilizer has been integrated into the lens design to minimize the appearance of camera shake by up to an effective four shutter speed steps. Pairing well with Canon’s EOS Movie Servo AF an STM stepping AF motor produces smooth near-silent focusing performance that is further benefitted by a rear-focus design high-speed CPU and intelligent AF algorithms for quickened focusing. Full-time manual focus override can also be utilized for fine-tuned focusing precision as closely as 8.7″. HOYA 67mm HMC UV FilterHeat-resistant / High-Transparency glass The HOYA UV filter uses the highest quality heat-resistant tempered glass which creates a smooth clear image. This filter cuts out all range of UV rays to give an astounding sharpness and clarity without the least affect on color balance. Constant use for lens protection is recommended. These popular filters are renowned for their ability to minimize reflection on filter surfaces which reduces flare and ghosting. With an average light transmission of over 97% the HOYA HMC filters are engineered to enhance the performance of today’s multi-coated lenses.
