Manufacturer Description Compact, lightweight and a wide magnification range–this standard zoom lens features a wide focal length range from normal to telephoto equivalent to 29-320mm in the 35mm format. It features an Optical Image Stabilizer for up to 4-stops of effective correction even at full zoom.

Canon’s 18-200 image stabilized zoom

very pleased!
nice upgrade from my 35-120mm. I have seen a significant difference in all my photos so far. Eventually will be upgrading to 200mm f2.8 and 400mm f2.8.
