Lens Description: Equivalent to a 28-135mm lens, this new EF-S lens brings true wide-angle to tele coverage to EOS 60D, EOS 7D and Digital Rebel cameras. It has Canon\'s Image Stabilization system, allowing safe hand-holding at speeds up to three stops slower than otherwise possible. And of course, it\'s optically optimized for digital SLRs. A ring-type USM means both fast and silent AF, as well as full-time manual focus when in the AF mode.
