Mid-range zoom
E 18–55mm F3.5–5.6 OSS SEL1855
This lens offers a superb balance of form and function: ample zoom
range in a compact design that weighs only 194 grams yet is remarkably
comfortable to hold and operate. The 18–55mm zoom range, corresponding
to 27–82.5mm on a 35mm full-frame format camera, is ideally designed for
comfortable framing and capture of most subjects encountered in daily life
or on vacation, and a built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization system
makes it possible to produce sharp images even when shooting handheld
in low light. The OSS system is so effective that you’ll be able to capture
blur-free images at shutter speeds up to four steps slower than would be
possible without image stabilization. And thanks to extremely smooth,
quiet autofocus and aperture operation, you don’t have to worry about
unwanted camera and lens noise infiltrating your movie soundtracks.
