Sorry didn't mean to skimp on the details.
I believe this is a kit lens, EF-S 18-55mm 3.5-5.6 II.

I was loaned another lens but for what I am doing (reading through a 
magic lantern guide and testing all the features) I have not had cause to 
use it; a 70-200 IS lens. It is a better lens but for indoor dog shots I 
thought it was overkill.
