Review on Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Standard Zoom Lens: Perfect for Canon DSLR Cameras by Agata Buczkowska  (B ᠌

In spite of all the negatives, let it be. Yet, extremely specialized lenses are an absolute necessity for creative endeavors. The advantages of it include the following: As a travel lens for lazy newbies like myself, not bad. It is unfortunate that you are unable to put 3+ because the pull for the complete four does not work. The image quality is comparable to that of my whale 18-55, but it's not quite as good. Absolutely not for those who make their living doing it! But, alternatively, you may choose a lens kit that covers all possible shooting scenarios; alternatively, you could get an 18-200mm lens if you need to shoot rapidly and aren't too concerned about image quality. But, there is a window of time to comprehend the distinction between a hack and a professional. Various cons: The fact that the trunk (tube) is clearly fixed only in the extreme position of around 18 or ok. 200 is exceedingly inconvenient. When directed upwards, it will remove itself; on the other hand, when directed downwards, it will leave. This happens in the intervals. Even when we first saw it, we thought it was a wedding; nevertheless, it turns out that this is a characteristic of the lens. Needs the use of a tripod, although even while using one, it will still need to be held in place or its trunk fixing capabilities will be weakened. It is not always possible to mount those on a tripod and continue on with your business as usual. As a novice, I don't have anything else to base my judgment on. To tell you the truth, I felt a little let down by it. Yet, it offers the best value for the money.
