The goods are normal, money is not wasted!

Good zoom. I took mine with Canon 600D cameras. I liked it more than the STM version, simple convenient glass for everyday tasks, you can’t imagine better to start shooting. Just a huge range of focal lengths, which is very good for walking, and shooting a landscape at 24mm and taking a picture of birds at 135 is also good. It is also convenient for video, produces good images. Well, real focal lengths on the APS-C matrix 29-216, which, again, are amazing values ​​! But still, at the short end, it’s better to start shooting with 24 mm, so that there would be no barrel ! Desirable for purchase as an alternative to EF-S 18-55.

Pros

Good entry level zoom lens. Sufficient image quality at the long end. Metal mount, lighter than EF-S 18-55 by 55mm. The stub copes with 4-. Adequate AF, although noisy.

Cons

Distortion at 18 mm is noticeable, it gives a barrel. The trunk of the lens protrudes on some (I have 3 such lenses) at the most unexpected moments. Trunk lock missing. Luft the entire lens. Dark F 3.5-5.6, especially at the far end, in the evening you can’t shoot anything without a tripod, although there are no problems when using a tripod. The weight is also not small, but still not huge. Well, the size is also not small.
