The Canon EF 18-55mm IS STM (43mm filters, 0.5'/0.15m close-focus, 3.575 oz./101.3g, about $250) is a tiny normal lens for the Canon EOS-M series of cameras.

In February 2017, Canon announced a new EF-S18-55 f4-5.6 IS STM lens alongside the EOS 800D and EOS 77D. The lens widest aperture is reduced to f/4 and the lens is shortened. It's 215 g but only 62mm long, retaining the same 58mm filter size.
Compact, lightweight, and versatile, the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II from Canon is a standard zoom offering a 28.8-88mm equivalent focal length range. One aspherical element is featured in the lens design and helps to control spherical aberrations and distortion throughout the zoom range for consistent sharpness and clarity. A Super Spectra coating has also been applied to individual elements to control flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color accuracy in all lighting conditions. Complementing the imaging capabilities is a four-stop-effective Image Stabilizer system that minimizes the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. Additionally, a Micro Motor autofocus system delivers quick focusing performance and a minimum focusing distance of 9.8' is available at all focal lengths for close-up shooting.
