Good wide-angle lens for landscape photography; panoramas; interiors for your money. The best sharpness is achieved at F / 6.3. Best properties at 18mm wide angle. The stabilizer is very happy when shooting photos (you can shoot from 1/10 sec.) And video! I was surprised that Canon made a good lens for the money, also with a stabilizer. This lens is an order of magnitude sharper than the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6.

I don't know why the whale is scolded. I bought a 600d from Kenon and am happy with it. For 2 years before buying this first DSLR, I read a lot of information and didn’t want to buy a whale at all, but I didn’t know how to check it in the store and what focal lengths I would need, so it’s imperative for a novice amateur to take it. From the first pictures I was amazed by the sharpness of the photo. And in the apartment! do not believe anyone, take it, you could see soap on the first two…

The lens is normal if there is no other or there is nothing to compare with. The same whale Nikon is completely different. Canon focuses for a long time, slowly travels back and forth. The case is light plastic, looks cheap, frivolous (Nikon looks more solid), indoor pictures are fuzzy. You should not buy separately, only if you took it complete with a carcass.

I took this lens from my hands, on ebay, just as a safety net. And I was pleasantly surprised by its quality. This lens pleased with its sharpness at all aperture values. Also pleased with the small size and weight of this lens. There is a stub that helps when shooting video and taking pictures with hands in low light. Thanks to its convenient range of focal lengths, it is suitable for almost any shooting. Of course, this is not an art lens. And it does not give some beautiful bokeh and does…

I took the lens 3 years ago along with the carcass, at that time the difference in the carcass and in the whale was about 2022, and the lens 100% justified this money. If you know how to use it, it gives excellent image quality, it’s quite sharp, especially if you cover the aperture, I didn’t notice any serious distortions, the stabilizer really helps, especially when shooting video, it smooths out all micro-tremors of the hands (it’s clearly visible if you increase it to the maximum) reliable,

Take the IS II version. Then you will be pleasantly surprised by comparing it with other lenses. Personally, I myself try to use the settings of 35 mm aperture 5.6, I am satisfied with the quality. Specifically compared with the Nikon whale DX 18-55 G VR. The EF-S 18-55 IS II is sharper across the entire 18mm to 55mm range (more light and fine detail visible). 35-55 less distortion, less soap around the edges. But it limps a little more by 18 mm.

This is a good landscape lens and worth the money. The stabilizer works great. Shot handheld at 18mm with a shutter speed of 1/10. Great, sharp picture. Autofocus catches even in candlelight. Compared to 18-55 IS gives a softer pattern. It is not suitable for shooting portraits, and this is not his task. A rotating lens and not convenient manual focus are not a drawback, but a feature of all kit lenses in this price category. I quickly got used to it. I bought it as a set with Canon 1100. I am…

Good model, nothing more. Even very much, considering that I got it for free (like a whale): the minimum price was the same for a carcass and a whale. I especially want to highlight the 18mm focal length, since there comes a time when this lens seems bad, you want to have fixes and then you understand that you need to pay more than 10000 for a wide-angle fix. Separately, I would buy such a lens just for 18mm. Shoot exactly at 18mm and understand whether you need to buy an expensive fifty…

Regarding soap: on a fine sunny day it doesn’t lather, which is natural; at twilight and cloudy days, there is a bit, but you need to be able to hold the camera tightly; flash. The stub helps when shooting, but within reasonable limits. I recommend it to everyone as the first glass when switching from "soap dishes" to a mirror, it's the very thing for learning.

Included with the camera is great, almost free) Quite satisfied. they say it’s okay for beginners, but it’s much more difficult for a beginner to learn how to take pictures with bad optics (I won’t say anything about crooked hands) when the quality leaves much to be desired. Get an additional 50mm fix right away, the difference in quality is huge, that one is also almost for nothing)

Yes, this is a budget KIT, but in order to understand why you bought your first DSLR, this is the best option. Sufficiently sharp, fast, light. I don't think to sell it. If you are not going to make money with photography - a perfectly acceptable mechanism. Work with him for the first time and if you are "trampled", then decide what to buy in addition from glasses. For tasks: house-walk-children-friends-cats-dogs for a novice photographer - that's it. Sample photos on it and Canon 1100d on…
