Great value but great little zoom lens

Although Canon make many fantastic lenses they have a lower quality range at a much lower price. Keep in mind that Canon is doing this to increase its market share and potentially attract loyal customers from this group. I was looking for a simple little lens to attach to my camera when I'm not working for money. I read about the size and weight of this lens and was pleased by the many good reviews so I decided to buy it. I was not disappointed. A month later the lens works as advertised, the…

Pros
  • Focus adjustment - gear driven
Cons
  • Available in white only

Amazing for the price

I only chose this lens because I didn't have an IS lens with such a focal length. I already had a Canon EF-S 55-250 IS lens and was pleasantly surprised at how well the IS works and how sharp the image is. I was hoping that this lens would achieve the same quality. It didn't disappoint! The image quality it produces is not far inferior to my favorite lens, the L-series lens. The lens arrived just in time to test it and capture beautiful fall colors.

Pros
  • Lens design - 16 elements in 12 groups including UD glass and aspherical lenses
Cons
  • Sad package

Canon's third attempt at an 18-55 kit lens!

Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS SLR Lens For those who don't know, this is the third version of Canon's 18-55 kit lens. The first lens was your primary 18-55 EF-S f/3.5-5.6 (the lens I got with my XTi). Then came the same lens, but with a USM motor (very limited availability, probably because Canon had an IS version in development). The third version is 18-55 EF-S f/3.5-5.6 with IS (image stabilization). I have been very happy with this lens so far as I used it as a replacement for my original…
