Learn about the CANON EF-S 10-18mm F/4.5-5.6 IS STM LENS

Even the most grizzled of photography professionals know: sometimes, zooming out just doesn’t cut it: you need a lens with an ultra-wide angle to capture the whole scene. But in order to facilitate a wide angle that doesn’t look like a gimmick but instead produces a stunning, beautiful image, you need a lens capable of living up to your imagination. Well, we at Adorama think we have it. Enter the CANON EF-S 10-18mm F/4.5-5.6 IS STM LENS, a lens with the capacity to serve up wide-angle shots that capture entire moments without ever resorting to looking goofy or cartoonish. In fact, just the opposite is true: the optical excellence and high-standard performance allow you to create a wide variety of artful photographs with stunning image quality and consistency.

• Let’s talk about image quality. The Canon 10-18mm lens has it, offering high-contrast and high-resolution shots at a moment’s notice, even while minimizing the potential for glare and color aberration. How? Well, the circular 7-blad aperture will help ensure that you achieve a fine background blur, but the Canon Optical Image Stabilizer System is something to behold, offering up to four equivalent stops of shake correction. The end result is a stunning consistency in imaging that allows you to take a whole gamut of photographs without ever sacrificing quality. Heck, you might just take a few beautiful photos by mistake.
• Let’s talk about motors, too. Specifically, a stepping motor (STM) that works in conjunction with a refined focus mechanism, achieving the smooth, continuous autofocus that you need even while recording live video. That makes the Canon 10-18mm lens ideally suited to handle just about anything you can dish at it, from fast-moving live video action to quick-needed still photographs. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that the rear focusing system and high speed CPU help ensure that the autofocus is always on its best behavior.
• What about field of view? We’re talking big angles here, up to 107, which means you’ll create realistic images of wide-ranging scenes with regularity. Yes, the Canon 10-18mm lens is designed exactly for this purpose, but you’ll be stunned at just how accurate these pictures end up, particularly when you photograph everything from landscapes to live events—even those events in low or dim lighting. And the ultra-wide lens also zooms with an impressive starting focal length of 16mm in 35mm equivalence, which means that you’ll be hard-pressed to find a lens at Adorama that performs quite like this Canon lens.
• Capture plenty of low light with the aforementioned aperture. The large-diameter element and aspherical lens elements help to achieve the kind of image quality you need in low-light settings, as well, giving you the freedom to work at night, in the morning, in the evening—heck, if there’s light out there, this lens can grab it.
• Want manual focus? Of course you do; you’re a pro. There’s manual focus adjustment available even while in autofocus mode, giving you the creative freedom to utilize all 107 degrees of this lens’ field of view.

A wide-angle lens is not something to scoff at; in fact, it can be one of the most powerful tools you have as a photographer. With a lens like CANON EF-S 10-18mm F/4.5-5.6 IS STM LENS in your arsenal, that’s sure to be the case.
