Description — Canon 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM
The Canon RF-S 18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM is an APS-C format zoom lens for the Canon RF mirrorless mount, spanning a focal length range of 18mm to 150mm. With a maximum aperture of f/3.5 at the wide end, it provides solid performance in a lightweight body that weighs just 310g — making it an easy companion for travel, everyday photography, and situations where carrying multiple lenses isn't practical. Built-in optical image stabilization adds an extra layer of confidence during handheld use across the zoom range.
The lens features both auto and manual focus modes, offering flexibility depending on the shooting situation. A 55mm filter thread makes it straightforward to add polarizers, ND filters, or other accessories from a widely available and cost-effective range of options. As an APS-C-specific design, it is purpose-built for Canon's mirrorless cameras in that sensor format, pairing natively with compatible RF-mount bodies.
