Impressions from the purchase are good, buy.

Take the IS II version. Then you will be pleasantly surprised by comparing it with other lenses. Personally, I myself try to use the settings of 35 mm aperture 5.6, I am satisfied with the quality. Specifically compared with the Nikon whale DX 18-55 G VR. The EF-S 18-55 IS II is sharper across the entire 18mm to 55mm range (more light and fine detail visible). 35-55 less distortion, less soap around the edges. But it limps a little more by 18 mm.

Pros

Optically improved from previous versions I,II,IS,III. It turns out free like a whale, along with a carcass. You shouldn't give up on it. In the ranges of 24-35 mm, the sharpness is above average. It is optimal at 35 mm with an aperture of 5.6 - distortion is minimal - you can pull out a clean 12 MPix. If you need more, take fixes. In the oncoming light, it does not catch hares. The aperture is rounded, so the blur and bokeh are beautiful.

Cons

The case is made of cheap plastic (looks like a Chinese bauble). Dark, but other whales are even darker. At 55 mm, the sharpness is average, narrowing the aperture to 11 does not save the situation. Focusing is inconvenient (it rotates 70 degrees), but the Nikon whale is generally a shame (45 degrees).
