كانون RF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM

This lens is perfect for travel; at 150g I barely notice it in my bag. The ultra-wide zoom range makes small interiors feel spacious and dramatic.

I was skeptical about the f/4.5-6.3 aperture, but for hiking and daylight landscapes, this lens is a total game-changer. The image stabilization is shockingly effective, letting me shoot sharp handheld shots at 1/4 second.

The 150g weight is the real deal—I clipped this on for a day of hiking and forgot it was even in my bag. The 10-18mm range makes tight spaces feel huge, and the image stabilization kept my handheld shots of the canyon surprisingly sharp.
