Review on Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS 📷 II SLR Lens - White Box Edition by Aneta Banaszek ᠌

A good model, but not much else. Even very much, taking into consideration that I got it for free (like a whale): the bare minimum price for a carcass was the same as the price for a whale. I want to emphasize the 18mm focal length in particular because there will come a moment when you think this lens is terrible, you will want to have fixes, and then you will realize that in order to have a wide-angle fix, you will need to pay more than 10,000 dollars. I would consider purchasing such a lens solely for the focal length of 18 millimeters. Take pictures at an exact 18 millimeter setting to determine whether or not you need to spend an additional fifty bucks on a lens. It is more profitable to take EF 28-90 individually for the price of $1,500 used if the vehicle is a station wagon. It seems pointless to me to look at photos that have been magnified by 100–200% when I print them at a size of 10 cm × 15 cm. Uniquely for the purpose of showing off (I did it myself). If there is no subject matter to the photograph, then a sharper lens will not improve it (precisely clarity, not blur). And for artistic photography, there are lots of Soviet lenses with manual focus and aperture. When it comes to experimenting, make the most of it! Why would someone spend tens of thousands of dollars on something that doesn't yield a return? (except for the pleasure of the pictures). And in general, I do not agree with the notion that you can make an informed decision on your future purchase after having used a whale lens with such a wide variety of focal lengths. I consider whale glass to be a mastery of the manual mode as well as an understanding of the photographic logic. I had no idea there was such a thing as a telephoto until I tried out a used M42 135mm and 200mm lens, which combined clocked in at 4000. I have come to the conclusion that purchasing a used manual optics lens is the most convenient way to determine what focal length produces photographs that are pleasing to the eye. Before that, I was in a rush and bought the renowned 15-85 here after 18-55, but I later came to regret my decision because the miracle did not occur. and you received 18 of them. In the end, it was sold. PS: I only use it on occasion, but I've been doing it for the past ten years. In 2022, I shot interiors using a bunch of different lenses. Because the 18mm angle did not capture enough of the scene, I had to piece together numerous photographs using Photoshop. Nonetheless, they saved the lens.
