Review on Canon EOS 600D Kit EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II, black by Stanisaw Frank ᠌

Incomplete viewfinder coverage. The viewfinder is on a pentamirror, which makes the design cheaper and lighter, but gives a slightly darker image. The battery compartment is difficult to open. The image on the screen is not the same as in reality. The lens collects dust. Noisy autofocus on the lens. Lubricates in the dark. Learn to aim manually. The wheel could be made tighter and with a longer stroke. It is necessary to work with polarizing filters, since the front lens rotates along with the filter thread. No tracking focus when shooting video. But just imagine how loud the autofocus of the lens will buzz! The standard lens (valid for 18-55, I haven’t seen 18-135 in action) washes the background well only at 55 when shooting at a distance of several cm. Not suitable for bokeh in portraits. On a tightly clamped diaphragm, it lathers and "catches hares". In bright light, it gives strong chromoaberration (blue and yellow outlines around the object). In general, most of the nit-picking staff 18-55. At the first opportunity to remove it and put something more decent. But in any case, a staff member is needed to figure out which optics to buy in the future - a wide-angle, telephoto or portrait lens. Also suitable for filming while traveling, so as not to be sorry to break.
