This compact Canon 18-200mm, f/3.5-5.6 telephoto lens is ideal for photographers seeking an affordable, versatile lens with high magnification - approximately 11x zoom. It features a focal length equivalent of 29-320mm in 35mm format. To combat the effects of camera shake, the lens incorporates a 4-stop compensation Image Stabilizer technology. This allows you to use shutter speeds up to 4 times slower with virtually no blurring. You'll enjoy crisp, high-contrast images without fringing thanks to an ultra-low dispersion lens element. A Super Spectra coating will also help combat ghosting and flare.
