Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM Review (Photozone)

The new Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM already got Photozone’s attention.

And once more the very good performance of this inexpensive lens are stated. The Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM sells for $299 and is in stock at Adorama and B&H Photo.

In the conclusion, Photozone writes:

The mirrorless gang may have all the attention at the moment. However, Canon showed once more that the quality crown still belongs to DSLR systems – even and especially regarding low cost lenses. The Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM may be very slow but it is darn sharp in the relevant aperture range. In fact it is every bit as good as the Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM here … at half the price! The amount of lateral CAs is well controlled. In critical scenes (e.g. architecture) you will be able to spot some barrel distortions at 10mm but we’ve seen a lot worse here. The only significant weakness is vignetting especially at 10mm.

Yeah, Canon once more showed what they can do with this lens.
