I can't say that I was completely satisfied with the product.

For not confused amateurs and people who just bought a SLR camera to be, this lens is ideal. For something a little more serious, it is absolutely not suitable. I use canon eos600d + 18-55is and helios 77m-4, since at least the top-end canon ex-600rt is puffy (I decided not to waste time on trifles and did not regret it). Shooting weddings and any events turns into hell with this set, Helios helps out on photosets. In terms of focal lengths, of course, it more or less covers the needs for lack of a better one. But the convenience of work and the quality of the results leave much to be desired. In general, if you bought a cheap canon DSLR with this kit lens and are not going to engage in artistic and commercial photography, this lens is for you.

Pros

A good stabilizer for the cheapest lens in the line. Convenient focal lengths for crop. Not enough HA for such a poor lens.

Cons

plastic lenses. Complete lack of image quality. Auto-focus is very noisy, very inaccurate and slow. The sharpness of the picture is at the level of inexpensive soap dishes, even smartphone cameras are not far behind in sharpness.
