Product Overview
Canon RF-S 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM is an entry-level standard zoom lens for Canon RF-mount. It covers the APS-C image circle. Introduced by Canon in 2022, it has 7 elements in 7 groups.
Like most zoom lenses, the Canon RF-S 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM is externally-zooming. Unfortunately, Canon has opted to omit weather sealing for this lens, so owners should pay extra attention when shooting in incremental weathers. Indeed, the lens has a rather low grade of build; it is rather plasticky. Its image quality is mediocre, and one can expect sample variation to be a simple fact in life.
A standard zoom lens with moderate aperture, the Canon RF-S 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM is more of a "volume seller" than a premium option. Still, some photographers may find the results "good enough". The lens is also stabilized, making it even easier to use for videos and stills alike.
