  • "Excellent Kit Lens...some Flaws"

    Pros: Small/Compact
    Lightweight
    Quality to price ratio is excellent
    Very good quality images
    Very nice wide angle

    Cons: 'Flimsy' zoom ring
    Moving focus ring
    Slightly slow focusing
    Zoom strength falls short about 30% of the time
    No lens hood included, lens cover is rather easy to fall off

    Summary: Overall I believe this lens provides a lot of features for it's cost. The image stabilization is very good and the overall picture quality is excellent.
    Although just like several other Canon lenses, the kit does not provide a lens hood.
    I also found that the lens cover is quite small and sloppy. The lens can be quite easily taken off the lens which exposes the lens to scratches.

    I highly recommend this kit lens for a beginner photography (such as me) in DSLR photography.
