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 stub is a VERY necessary thing. Thanks to him, 18-200 conveys details well. Well, plus - it's compact, lightweight, covers honestly from 24 to 180 mm FR - that's it when traveling. Protected enough from dust, in my opinion.
Everything is great . for a start . then, if you shoot with a Canon 50 mm 1.2, you are unlikely to return to it .

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 .
