Best Budget Vlogging Lens for Canon - EFS 10-18mm IS STM
Today we’re going to be looking at the best budget vlogging lens for the Canon system. The EF-S 10-18mm f4.5 -5.6 IS STM. I feel this might be the best bang-for-the-buck vlogging lens you can buy. This is an older lens and you can find it used for between $250-$300 which makes it even more of a great budget lens. Beyond just the price this lens delivers fast quiet and most importantly reliable autofocus. A big positive for this lens is that it has Image Stabilization. For a lens this small, at 233 grams, that’s pretty amazing. Another huge positive for this lens is it’s sharpness. It’s a f4.5-5.6 lens on an APS-C sensor but on a full frame sensor it’s a f6.8-8.5. Naturally this will give you a wider depth of field ensuring that your subject is always in focus. The downside to having smaller apertures is worse low light performance. But when it comes to vlogging I would gladly take a lightweight lens with smaller apertures over something with bigger apertures at four times the weight. I tested vlogging with this lens at night with the EOS R5 and I got very usable results at 12,800 ISO. Another positive for this lens is the focal range. On an APS-C sensor the 10-18mm gives you an ultra wide range but on a full frame sensor this focal range converts into 16mm to 29mm putting it in that perfect sweet spot for vlogging.
Things aren’t all positive with this lens. There are three downsides. The lenses are proper glass but the housing for the lens is made entirely out of plastic. From my perspective as a vlogger I appreciate the plastic build because it keeps the weight of this lens down allowing me to use it for longer periods of time without feeling arm fatigue. On the flip side I would not recommend dropping this lens or doing anything crazy with it because the mount is also plastic. The other downside, and this really isn’t a downside, is that with a smaller aperture you’re not going to get that shallow depth of field. So you’re not going to get that classic cinematic look with this lens. But then again you’re buying this lens as a lightweight vlogging so that’s not really a huge deal but I thought I would point that out. The last downside is that this lens is not weather sealed. So it’s not going to be something you want to take into the rain or other environments that are not good for electronics. More of my thoughts about this lens on the blog as well as my sample photos and presets.
