Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM 55mm

70.8 Travel Score

Why we recommend this

One aspherical element and Super Spectra coating reduce aberrations and flare, while the 4-stop Optical Image Stabilizer and STM motor deliver sharp, near-silent autofocus. Weighing just 215g, this lens is highly portable and includes full-time manual focus override for precise adjustments without leaving autofocus. It's best for budget-conscious travelers with Canon APS-C DSLRs wanting a flexible everyday zoom that also offers 1:4 macro capability.

Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III

58.4 Travel Score

Why we recommend this ▼

This refurbished EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 lens stands out with a bundled kit including filters, hood, case, and cleaning pen, though it lacks image stabilization. Its 653g build keeps it portable for casual use, but the variable aperture and absence of weather sealing limit creative control. Best for beginners shooting outdoor daylight sports or wildlife on a tight budget, not for portrait work where it scores just 12.5/100.
