Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II Lens for EOS Digital SLR Rebel XT, XTI, 20D & 30D Digital Cameras

Product Description

Canon's redesigned compact EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II autofocus zoom lens (approximately a 28-90mm lens in 35mm format) is smaller and lighter than conventional lenses because of the shorter back focus distance. By reducing the distance from the rear of the lens to the imaging sensor and reducing the size of the image circle to accommodate the camera's imaging sensor size, the lens produces high image quality with superb resolution at all focal lengths.

By optimizing the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II lens coatings, Canon's engineers have effectively minimized the chance of flare and ghosting which are more prone to occur with digital cameras than with film cameras. The coatings reduce reflections off the rear of the lens to deliver crisp, undistorted digital images.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK starter lens, but there are better choices, April 20, 2008

I agree totally with the other reviewers who say that it's fine for basic "snapshots" but that's about all. If you're simply looking to step up to a Digital SLR from a point and shoot, then buy the Canon Digital Rebel XT kit that comes with this lens. It's lightweight and fine for nice quality landscapes and snapshots. This however would NOT be my first choice.

If you want exceptional pictures or if you think that you might ever step up to a nicer camera, buy only the camera body and get an images stabilized all purpose lens like the Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens. This lens will let you take hand held pictures that will be sharp 2 whole shutter speeds slower than a non-stabilized lens will. The zoom range will allow every thing from nice wide angle landscapes at the lower end to moderate telephoto and excellent portraits at the higher magnification end.

You'll probably end up keeping this on your camera as your default lens. I have... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid basic lens, akward when used with polarizing filter, August 21, 2007

This review is from: Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II Lens for EOS Digital SLR Rebel XT, XTI, 20D & 30D Digital Cameras (Electronics)
I purchased this lens after buying an EOS 30D body-only, and discovering that the 1.6 crop factor was far too severe for my shooting requirements and existing EF lenses. This lens was intended to be used as the equivalent of my old EF 28-105mm, and in wide angle, it does an extremely good job getting me just as wide as I'm used to going, plus just a bit more, even if I don't get quite the reach on the zoom end even after the 1.6 crop factor.

Intending to use it as a knock-around low-end lens, I bought mine used, and couldn't be happier with what I got for the price, and frankly was amazed at the sharpness and clarity and comparable quality of image I'm getting as compared to my more expensive EF lenses.

The only awkward thing about this lens is that the focal ring is on the outer edge of the lens. If you use a polarizing filter, where the orientation of the filter is critical, you'll find that the act of focusing will spin the filter along with the focal ring... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars After 7 Years on the Shelf I Underestimated This fine lens for landscapes, March 1, 2012

After collecting a whole series of pro type lenses I can only conclude the canon 18-55mm is underrated. For the price and the fact it is so compact/light this lens is a great option. I recently used to take landscape and still shots of dilapidated buildings. The sharpness/detail is excellent and compares to my Sigma 24-70mm when used with my 5d under normal daylight conditions/with tripod dawn to dusk.
Unless you are an extreme pixel counter, for all practical purposes you will not be able tell the difference in photo quality for small and medium sized prints vs pro models. What I particularly like is the fact i can replace with a quality used lens for about 50 dollars/ my rebel XT for about 175 = $225.. VS about $1500 used for my 5d/sigma 2.8 24-70 combo. An added plus is the fact filters are far cheaper for the 58mm vs 77/82mm (about half the price)

Why so underrated? I think part of the reason is more experienced photographers are more apt to upgrade with the more... Read more
