The perfect starter lens for exploration

Capture life in all its glory with a compact APS-C zoom for the EOS R series that packs in a 29-72mm (35mm equiv.) zoom range. It’s ideal for travel, family or even vlogging and can be easily stowed away in your kit bag.

Sharp, stable handheld images and video

Never worry about having to use flash when you have 4-stops of image stabilisation to hand. For sure and steady shots this lens has you covered, with even more compensation on offer when used with compatible cameras.

Smooth, quiet focus with creative control

An STM motor allows smooth, silent and accurate focusing while a seven blade, circular f/4.5-6.3 aperture is perfect for creating artistic out of focus highlights or 'bokeh'.

Experiment with manual focusing

Go manual and get close with a higher magnification in MF mode. It’s the perfect solution for capturing subjects in glorious detail and allows you get as close as to 15cm with a 0.25x magnification.

Lightweight, compact – perfect for every day

The combined weight of the RF-S 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM and an EOS R APS-C mirrorless camera offers a significant weight savings compared to a DSLR equivalent. Less weight means you can use for longer – and never miss a moment.
