Which cameras are compatible with the Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM lens?

This lens is designed for EOS cameras with an APS-C sensor. It is compatible with a wide range of EOS models, including the 7D Mark II, 7D, 80D, 77D, 70D, 60D, 50D, 40D, 30D, 20D, and the Rebel series.

STEVEN P : What comes in the box with this lens?
Shopper : Can I use this lens with my Canon 5D III? If not? Is there a L version of this? What's the best deal I can get on the L glass? I also own Sony A7 (not the image stabilised 7 II) . Is Sony 10-22mm available? Price?SIMON R : No, you can't attach an EF-S to an EF FF Canon body. The closest EF lens is the EF 16-35 F4, which costs a lot more. You could, however, attach it to your a7 if you have a suitable adapter and don't mind using the a7 in crop sensor mode (I know first hand that this lens works well on Sony bodies via the Metabones EF-Sony adapter). There's an equivalent Sony lens, but it costs a lot more and you would also have to use the a7 in crop mode (the FF equivalent for the Sony is Sony's equivalent to the EF 16-35 F4).NORMAN J : The Canon 10-18mm is designed for the smaller format Canon (APS-C) not the full frame format like a 5D. Also I don't consider its quality to be as excellent as the "L" series lenses. There are some very nice Canon lenses for full frame Canon DSLR's as well as Sigma, Tokina, and Tamaron models for full frame Canon DSLR's. The high quality lenses unfortunately are rather expensive. Good luck.JIM K : No. Any Canon EF lens with an 'S' (EF-S) can only be used with Canon's smaller sensor cameras like the Rebel or 70D.JIM H : No, this is an EF-S lens that only works with cropped cameras (Rebel, 80D/70D, etc.). The larger imaging sensor of the Canon 5D Series is not compatible.SUSAN P : EF-S lenses can't be used on full-frame Canon cameras, nor on their models with 1.3x crop factors, like the current EOS-1D Mark III, but small-sensor cameras like the 50D can use any full-frame lenses in Canon's arsenal. I own the lens but my camera is a 50D I cannot answer any technical questionsANDREW R : This lens is EF-S mount, meaning that it is for APS-C type Canon EOS system bodies only. Full frame cameras such as the 5D Mark III will NOT work with EF-S lenses, only EF.
dave r : Will this lens fit my Canon EOS Rebel T5i and will it be suffifcent to photograph rooms for real estate?Michael D : yes it will fit. I have been very happy with it but mostly on outdoor shots, landscape and buidings. I am sure with the right light it would do a great job inside as well. just be careful with the hood outside at widest angles it can show in picture. just remove it. MichaelAUSTIN M : It is made for crop sensor cameras, so it will fit the t5i. I used it with a t3i for photographing the interiors of rooms for a different purpose, but I think it is well suited for real estate work.LUIS M : a definite yes on both questions :)JAMES C : This lens will fit the T5i and should be wide enough for real estate photos. You will need good light as it has a smaller max aperture.SIMON R : It will certainly fit the camera. It should also be fine for room interiors, depending on the size of the room and the results you want to achieve - 10mm on an aps-c camera is pretty wide!JOSEPH S : Yes, this lens was designed for the rebels aps-c and the stm means you won't hear the focus motor when shooting videos. The quality of shots with this 10-18mm will astound you. Much more than sufficient, and amazing for travel selfies as you will capture the location, too.HENRY H : I use my purchase on a EOS 60D. In my case it works rather well om rooms.BILL R : Yes to both questions. Perfect for photographing interiors and will work fine on your T5iNORMAN J : Yes, it will fit any EF-S mount DSLR. It is a great lens for indoor shooting, especially when the price is considered. A wide angle lens with a better f-stop would be nicer, but the price would likely triple.CATHY K : Yes it will fit your Rebel and yes it will be great for interiors.MICHAEL S : Yes. It will fit a T5i with all functions supported. It will be great for real estate photography. Can't really get a better or wider lens for that. Will probably need a few tweaks in photoshop after the fact because it does have some distortion but it's pretty easy to manage in post and with some careful composition. One of my favorite Canon lenses for the money.

Great value and great pictures!

Love that I can get truly wide angle shots on my APS sensor camera. The value can't be beat as the focusing and resolution are really good. My only complaint is that I wish it had a focusing scale for manual focusing when trying to set at infinity for astrophotography. (If i neglect to pre-focus in the daylight.)

Remarkably good for the money

I actually use this for video with a Canon C70 (super 35 sensor). I've found it to be sharp with responsive AF and provides a great, almost surreal wide view. For a EFs lens it's a great value. My only complaint is that it's very prone to flare - can be a cool effect, but if you don't want it, watch your key light source.

Sharp and light weight for landscape photos.

I bought this lens because of the quality photos produced by it. This is one of the least expensive lenses in my collection. This lens produces the best landscape photos, with the sharpest, and best field of view of any lens I own. This is a very light weight, and small lens that I can always depend on for great shots.

Great Lens

I bought this lens about 10 months ago and so far the image and build quality has been excellent, although the lens has noticeable distortion and chromatic aberration towards the edges the images came out great. The lens is not the greatest in low light but that is to be expected from a wide-angle lens in this price range

Canon 10-18 just right for Real Estate

I purchased the Canon 10-18 specifically for Real Estate photography. Using HDR at f/8 and f/11, my photos are quite sharp and once I set a lens preset in Lightroom, my workflow is very easy and turn around to clients.

Good Entry Level Wide Lens

I found myself wanting something a little wider than the kit lens on my Canon T7i, and after some research I decided that this lens would be a good balance between cost and quality. It probably isn't the highest quality glass, but it does exactly what I need. It's great for bright daytime landscapes or even indoor real estate style photographs. I'm excited to keep learning more about photography with this addition to my kit.

Does the trick!

Perfect!!! Purchased this lens along with ef-s adaptor to do real estate photos with my M50. Exactly what I needed for a reasonable price. Top picture was done with standard ef-m lens at 15mm. Bottom with the new era one at 10mm.

Excellent lens

I am a professional product photographer but bought this lens for my fun shooting. I don’t shoot at test targets or hyper analyze lenses I judge a lens on it’s real world results. It’s either pleasing or it isn’t. I think the results from this lens are excellent. I can’t imagine that anyone using an APS-C sensor would not be delighted. The only thing I don’t like is the plastic mount but I’m not knocking off a star because it’s so light it probably makes no difference and Canon put the money into the optics. Heck, it even has IS.

EF-S 10-18 IS STM lens with bundle

Perfect wide angle lens for my compact sensor camera. Some aberration at the widest setting but a great lens to get close in shots. The bundle was not that good. Lens cap leash fell apart, UV filter has imperfections in the glass, lots of the items in the bundle I will never use.

Using the EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM lens for street photography

The EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM lens is much more versatile than I thought it would be. I am a street photographer at heart and usually use an 18mm to 250mm zoom or 50 mm prime. I actually found that the wide zoom worked better for me to get the type of photos that I wanted. I thought I would have to get in super close but in actuality it seemed just the right distance for most photos. I think the only way you will know is if you can ty one out.

New Lens

By Jim M.

I had been thinking about a super wide angle lens for awhile and had kicked around the idea of getting the 10-22mm lens for my 60D, but I wasn't sure if I'd use it enough to justify the price. Then Canon came out with this new 10-18mm STM IS lens, and at this price range I knew I had to have it. Went out shooting today and boy do I like it so far! The AF seems very quick, and all of my pictures seemed quite sharp. I was pretty much shooting from AV 4.5 to 8 today. The Image Stabilization is r...
