18-55mm Lenses

A 18-55mm zoom runs from 18mm, which gives a wide-angle field of view. It is a staple for landscapes, architecture and environmental portraits.

At 55mm it reaches a standard field of view close to natural perspective. It works for street, documentary and everyday photography, and is often fast and compact. One lens covers several classic prime focal lengths in between. On APS-C a 18mm lens frames like about 27mm (Canon APS-C: 29mm) on full frame; on Micro Four Thirds it frames like 36mm.

We list 86 lenses in this range: 0 primes and 86 zooms across 11 mounts, with a fastest aperture of f/2.8.
