Is the canon ef s 18 55mm f 3 5 5 6 is stm worth buying used?

Yes, I think it can be, as long as you check the body first. This lens only fits APS-C Canon bodies on the Canon EF mount, so it won't work on a full-frame camera. It's a stabilised, autofocus zoom that covers roughly 29-88mm equivalent on APS-C. Bodies it fits include the Canon EOS 80D, Canon EOS 90D and Canon EOS 850D.

My general advice on buying used applies here. Lenses hold their value better than bodies, so a used lens is usually a safe buy. Budget for a new battery if you're buying a used body alongside it.
