Revainrating 5 out of 5

An ideal product for any type of consumer.

Many comments of a negative nature are from the inability to use or from a misunderstanding of the real possibilities. The fact that he sucks is clear even before the purchase, he is made that way. There is no distortion in low light when shooting from a tripod. Perhaps we are comparing different carcasses and not a lens. My - 60D works great in the machine and in motion and in low light. In addition, we had an accident during the trip, the car turned over twice, the camera flew out the window…

Pros
  • Fully corresponds to the declared characteristics. Great all-rounder. Ergonomic. Very strong.
Cons
  • For this price, no.

Overall good, but expected more.

Do not try to blow dust off the front lens with a blower! Due to the gaps between the lens and the decorative ring (the brand of the lens is written on it), dust is blown into the lens! Behind the lens hood attachment ring there is another encircling gap, where not only dust climbs, but also a sheet of paper easily enters. After six months of use, I took it to a service center to clean it. I studied this lens with colleagues, the same trouble.

Pros
  • Replaces several lenses - convenient for reportage shooting on the street or in well-lit rooms. Solid appearance.
Cons
  • Sucks up dust. The slits around the front lens (where the lens meets the decorative ring) and the slits behind the hood attachment ring cause dust to build up on the inside of the front lens and on the surface of the next lens. High price in 2022.

High-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

For a person who bought a SLR camera for the first time, this lens is probably a must. Used this glass in combination with 400D. The picture quality is at a high level, many photos were sold, won competitions, one photo became one of the best photos of 2022 in 2022. I have been using this glass for more than four years (naturally, other lenses were also bought, but not for the purpose of replacement). Now this glass is on a well-deserved rest (switched to FF). For four years, scratches appeared

Pros
  • Most important: FR range
Cons
  • The trunk comes out. There is a lock button, but the lens somehow ignores it =))

I'm a little disappointed, not a good buy.

Broke down twice in 2.5 years of operation. Both times the symptoms are the same. At first, the lens wedges and it does not add up below the 24 mm mark, at which point it is usually possible to take several shots. Then it jams in the telephoto position (either when shooting, or the trunk is not fixed and leaves). When you try to turn the zoom and focus tightly, then the lens is not suitable even as a kind of fix. The first repair was under warranty, the second time I gave it to be repaired for…

Pros
  • 1. A wide range of focal lengths allows you to use it as a travel zoom. 2. In the middle range, the picture is quite sharp. 3. Trunk fixation button.
Cons
  • 1. Darkish. 2. Soap at the far end. 3. Barrel in the middle. 4. The stabilizer is rather weak. 5. The trunk always leaves. 6. Unreliable design.

The product is completely satisfied, performs its functions.

In my opinion, a good universal lens. I took it for shooting on the street, travel and everything else, except for portraits. The quality is decent, especially in the range of 35-135, much more beautiful than a whale. Suitable for almost all occasions. Of course, not a fix, aperture is not a fountain, but its main purpose is to replace a bunch of other glasses in one case, and everything is in order here. By the way, portraits are also good, I especially like 80mm.

Pros
  • - The versatility of the range of focal lengths, of course - Stabilization is really good - you can take a more or less sharp portrait with your hands for 1/10 sec -In my opinion, a good study of details, at least in focus - lock lock - Focusing distance is constant at all focal lengths of 0.45 - which is better than that of "clean" telephoto lenses -The picture, of course, is much better than 18-55 -Build quality - the front lens does not rotate -Sharp over most of the FR range
Cons
  • -naturally, a bit dark (it’s understandable) - for rooms you need a flash -mine has noticeable vignetting from 135, increasing more as the focal length increases. Compensated in part by peripheral illumination correction in the ON position -barrel distortion at 18 is noticeable -very noisy autofocus

The product suited me, I will recommend it to my friends.

Initially, I bought a lens because the zoom was sorely lacking, and I shot 18-55 very so-so. Carcass - Canon 450D. I don’t know about you - but for me the trunk lock button only works for the 18mm position. Poor equipment, which is typical of the company. I bought the EW-78D hood separately, but I really need it. Up to about 25-27mm with flash, there is a dark semicircle at the bottom of the frame due to the far from the smallest lens diameter. I shoot mostly sports events. I can say that the…

Pros
  • Zoom. The weight. Price
Cons
  • Chromatitis. No, it always catches the focus. The trunk comes out. Poor equipment

The item was good, I'll recommend it to my friends.

If you are too lazy to carry 2 glasses and constantly throw them, then this glass is for you. Almost all focal lengths for travelers are blocked. More - it makes no sense, as it will lead to an increase in the cost and weight of glass, and less - 18, much less ? Yes, there are small shoals, almost invisible to the eye. A small barrel, at small focal lengths <25 and vignetting > 150. But they are not so significant. As a glass for beginners - it's the most. By the way, I bought for Canon 600

Pros
  • 1. Focal length 18-200! You can not carry 2 lenses with you, but get by with 1. 2. Clearly conveys colors. 3. Stabilizer. 4. Not heavy and not light, such as it should be (although the camera still outweighs a little). 5. As a Travel zoom - super, only L-ka will be better than it, but this is completely different money and weight.
Cons
  • 1. The trunk leaves. (it didn't happen at first) 2. Sucks up dust (it has already sucked on the mirror and on the lens from the inside. Therefore, you need to buy a cleaning kit right away. 3. Autofocus misses: rarely through the viewfinder, often in Life View. 4. I was looking for Blenda for a long time (I found it in Barcelona, ​​non-native, for 15 euros). We are asking for about 1500 re for Blenda. 5. Installing a protective glass is a must. 6. Could be cheaper.

Everything in the product suited me, the price is generally perfect.

After reading all the reviews on all lenses, to be honest, I expected much worse results, but I was pleasantly surprised. Of course, miracles do not happen, and there is no large aperture with such a zoom, but still the pictures are sharp, there are very few errors in autofocus. I use the camera (600D) almost exclusively when traveling, so I immediately ruled out the option of using two lenses as a class, so this glass for my money is an ideal compromise.

Pros
  • Pretty sharp, large range of FR.
Cons
  • The trunk sometimes leaves spontaneously, the latch would not hurt, but it does not bother much.

I'm satisfied, the product is exactly as described.

Used 4 years. They shot about 40 tons of frames. I am not a professional photographer, the first year the picture was tastier, about a year later the trunk began to leave. If you give it to crooked hands, the lens lock is folded :( It’s better not to take it in aquariums, there is not enough aperture. The stub is not bad, but shots with a shutter speed of less than 1/25 from my hands seemed blurry to me.

Pros
  • Versatile, inexpensive, perfect for a beginner.
Cons
  • After 150-170 mm. you can not use soap strongly, for 18-20 mm there are noticeable distortions of geometry.

Nice price, good quality.

A normal lens for travel without the burden of a bunch of glass. I went with him to rest - he showed himself normally. There are geometry distortions of 18-22 mm, noticeable. Further, it seems to be normal, respectively, not the L series, but not cheap either, in general it’s normal. Vignetting is present, goes away with a decrease in aperture. There are relatively few aberrations, closer to the edges. Now I got a 70-200 mm L-ka from a colleague, but without a stub - once again I say that the…

Pros
  • The stabilizer helps a lot and is actually a very necessary thing! Try to take a picture with and without it, especially something further than 50 meters away from you on a FR of more than 90 mm. I think you will see the effect immediately. Yes, the viewfinder also clearly shows whether the stub is turned on or not. In general, glass is worth the money, but as always I would like it to be cheaper)) Plus - it is compact, not heavy, covers in quality from 24 to 180 mm FR - that's it when traveling. Protected enough from dust, in my opinion.
Cons
  • There are geometry distortions of 18-22 mm, noticeable. Further, it seems to be normal, respectively, not the L series, but not cheap either, in general it’s normal. Vignetting is present, goes away with a decrease in aperture. There are relatively few aberrations, closer to the edges. Dear, relatively. Edge sharpness is poor. But also not Elka .

The quality is top notch, be sure to try it.

I myself have been doing semi-professional photography for about 5 years. A year ago, I switched to 2 lenses of different ranges (wide / portrait + telephoto). Such a combination is, of course, much higher than 18-200 in quality (and I&#39;m not going to sell it), BUT! only for unhurried, pre-planned shooting. As soon as it comes to reportage and other diverse shooting in nature, on trips, at competitions that happen to me with enviable regularity at work, the process of photographing turns…

Pros
  • 1. Focal lengths. 2. The quality of the image is at its best when compared with ultrasonics from competitors (sigma, tamron). Unless Nikon 18-200 can lose a little. As for the optical resolution, for an 18 megapixel matrix it is quite enough, in my opinion. Of course, not 15-85 and not 17-55, but still ... 3. Price for used - took for 13,000. Shot around the world, a small back focus on 18 mm, the rest was on target. 4. Stabilizer. Not the strongest, weaker than the same Canon EF 70-300, but not so voracious either. 2-3 steps gives. On imported resources, they write about him that he seems to be intellectual: i. E. unlike the mentioned 70-300, where it is 2-mode (1 - normal, 2 - for shooting in wiring), at 18-200 the stabilizer itself determines when to work in which mode. 5. Good design. 6. Fast autofocus. 7. There are few deviations in the quality of specimens, in contrast to the same sigmas, which must be chosen very carefully. For the cropped Canon, at the moment, it&#39;s probably the best choice if you need ultrazoom. By the way, maybe it’s important to someone))) The lens is quite large, larger than the Nikon 18-200, and it looks very solid on the carcass))) With such a weight, you can only hold the lens, you will get tired quickly by the carcass.
Cons
  • Decently chromated at 18 mm at the corners, giving wide colored halos. This is really easy to treat programmatically already on your computer. A small aperture, common for all budget lenses, is no longer a disadvantage on the 600D carcass, given the working ISO6400.

Not a bad product, but you can find a better one.

Chasing versatility is just wasting money. It is better to take a whale 18-135mm, it is much better than 18-200mm. If you want a versatile lens, then take a look at the 28-300mm L, but it costs about 90,000. The conclusion can be drawn as follows: if you do not care about the quality of the picture, but only care about versatility, then this lens is for you. Photo examples: http://fotki. Yandex. Ru/users/cobavo/view/637039?page=0 http://fotki. Yandex. Ru/users/cobavo/view/618291?page=0…

Pros
  • 1. Versatility 2. Fast focus, not USM but quite fast. 3. Pretty durable, not L of course, but don&#39;t worry about light hits. 4. Good image stabilizer.
Cons
  • 1. Chromatic aberrations. 2. Soap at 3.5 and starting with 70mm focal length, working aperture 8-11. 3. The depth of field at 200mm is so meager that it is impossible to shoot objects up close, they simply will not be fully in focus.
