Collector Notes:

This lens was often bundled with entry-level EOS film bodies like the Rebel G and EOS 500N. It’s part of Canon’s effort to offer affordable, lightweight zooms for casual photographers. While it lacks ultrasonic autofocus and full-time manual focus, it’s a solid performer for general-purpose use and a great match for vintage EOS kits.
