Pros: Clarity and presence of the SI

Cons: Construction, ring maf

Opinion: I had years ago matched primarily to the 1100D (my very first SLR) and then on the 600D. An honest lens with all its structural limits (plastic everywhere) but in specialmodo on the 600D, has always given me very clear images. More 'than fair for what stands to be the must or the entry level. I would say very good to start with, and even more '...

Pros: Crisp, light.

Cons: Autofocus slow and noisy, focus ring indecent fire, distortion

Opinion: And 'better than you might think. The sharpness is obviously not in top levels, but it is better than what is said. As evidenced by the tests easily available online. Obviously not expect exaggerated performance, but if you knew how to use soddisfazioni.E gives 'light, even if this results in a bit' too much plastica.Lo stabilizer is good. Bad points: the focusing ring Manual focus is virtually unusable and the brightness decreases rapidly with focal. The focus motor focus makes a lot of noise and it's slow. Distorts both 18 mm. The best yield, as in several objectives, is closing the 1-2 position with respect to the maximum aperture. Valid for landscapes and pictures of "family", while portraits there is indeed much better. Overall good: often they give faults that do not deserve it and who may be attributed to the photographer. It gives a hard time to the most famous goals. Perfect start and to understand better what you need later.

Pros: Sharp enough to turn pale even optical emblazoned (landscapes) Good focal range Rather than sell it for pennies, I would keep as a safety light in a APSC kit Extremely durable, unbelievable! possibility of being able to reverse to make macro with great satisfaction

Cons: plasticky construction, alas ring nonexistent maf in practice

Opinion: Well, I have also taken us an EP with this view, at night ... I could not help but love her !! Sharp, durable, he has never left me, neither in the rain nor with alpine cold. When asked, he replied semrpe present. Too bad the brightness, otherwise would give a hard time to optics that cost at least 5-6 times. Top marks for me!

Pros: Lightweight, stable and great start

Cons: Plasticky, faint, autofocus noisy as a tractor and distortion

Opinion: Objective purchased in kit with Eos 600D. I would say good to start but if you do not change as quickly as possible with some higher quality lens, you pass the desire to shoot. It 'very light but not great. Dim and gives some problems with chromatic aberration. The manual focus ring is embarrassing. The lens hood costs almost hardly objective. I would say that overall, however, it's okay if you buy a kit and use it as a neophyte but if you have the option not to buy it and move on to something already qualitatively more valuable, so much the better!

Pros: lightweight, good to start

Cons: plastic to no end (including lenses), dark, distorted, blurred, aberrations, slow and noisy, ring MAF indecent

Opinion: what about me found myself with the 60D and immediately replaced by 50ino since the 18-55 me are gnawed with a Sony A390 for more than a year, however, for what little I used it I can say that is not a ' optical evil (although it is not the best optical kit), good, together with 55-250, for the novice to the first arms must still know and decide on which focal switch at a later time.

Pros: Weight, overall quality despite being a basic kit lens.

Cons: Plasticky, distortion.

Opinion: It 'an objective basis, which does its job quite well. To learn how to make photo is just fine. rnSecondo me, is better than the 17-85 (more basic kit), at the level of sharpness generale.rnE 'small and weighs poco.rnLa better yield is between f / 7.1 and f / 11. RNLA ring focus is painful and uncomfortable, but what you want to be an objective basis? rnMorale: rnper start is fine.

Pros: good stabilization, light.

Cons: ring focus that makes disgust, focusing slow and noisy, totally dark, sharpness slightly acceptable, but the rest is an optical kit.rn

Opinion: I had this lens in almost gift, on 1100D and APSC today sharpness is not bad, the stabilization to be a kit lens is very effective and well reduces the blur, is the classic lens entry level to use for a little just to make a bit of practice and then store, it is best to use it in the morning or when the sun is shining again, nothing more.

Pros: Compact, good yield photos and videos.

Cons: Connecting ring in plastic.

Opinion: I got to try out the Canon 18-55 IS 2 is that with a Canon 600D with a Canon 1100D. The reviews I had read on the Internet disparaging have melted like snow in the sun. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality that this lens offers. The photos and video are reproduced with colors faithful to reality, good saturation, contrast and definition. It is advisable to buy a lens hood. In view of the quality offered and the price can be considered a good buy. The only flaw is the link connecting the camera which is, unfortunately, in plastic.

Pros: Light, practical and Kit, stabilized

Cons: Dark, not very high quality, plasticky, noisy, focus in difficult manual.

Opinion: Yes o, is set as a lens and that's great to begin with, I am using it and I only have one at the moment, but it is limited and after a month (having disposable income), you want to change it right away, because you can imagine already the way you want to go in the photographic field. Obviously, if one takes the camera because it is fashionable or for gift and uses it every now and then and just moves forward. Anyway I'll keep it even when I get some new lens (who want to buy it used as a lens that is now less than 60 €) and I will use it to battle. To begin with, however, is more than adequate, I happened to take some pictures decente.rnVOTO 6/10

Pros: Price, stabilization, compactness, weight, simple to use, revision of previous models, handyman.

Cons: Autofocus slow, inaccurate and cumbersome, sharpness that leaves desire, dark, limited range of focal lengths.

Opinion: It 'a lens that is often included in the entry-level kit, and in that respect' great, you can not 'pretend to put the 17-55 2.8 USM in that kind of kit. For those who want to start it is useful to try and understand what 's the right kind of photos. And often 'is to be replaced with the Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 and also plain that provides more light first. rnQuesta lens looks like a standard but that often leaves unhappy just because it's the least you can get in terms of performance, there is always a little light, speed 'focus and shutter response that lead along with the results and so as well. Okay for those who make few pictures with your family or for occasional use in short. What is positive is that inspires the purchase of better optics and when you pull out the money you always think what is good, that this lens will teach you to understand what you like and what you would like to do. Council to keep it anyway for a good time and assessing good apputo or if you just want a change.

Pros: Price, weight

Cons: Sharpness, dark

Opinion: And 'the lens that you "trimmed" in the basic kit of many machines, I have had with the 600D. To begin shooting goes well, has a good zoom range and a focus fairly effective, as you acquire knowledge, however, begins to feel a bit 'tight. We notice that the problems of clarity over f11, suffers the highlights and it's pretty dark in the shots inside, especially if you want to make portraits standing on a focal length from 35mm to 55mm. Chromatic aberration rather marcata.rnLo advice? Mah ... if you are hesitant about your passion for photography, but if you want to grow better already from a lens category, even if the financial sacrifice will maggiore.rn

Pros: EXCELLENT first lens if your budget is limited and the world of photography there has just opened across the street. rnLeggero. If used diligently and with passion can give great shots.

Cons: Over time, it becomes very narrow and you will recognize that you'll need something more

Opinion: I speak as a relative newcomer to photography, and it was my first goal. I got it in a kit along with the 650D and it was love at first sight at the beginning. Unfortunately, going forward in time and with the shots, if your passion will grow, you will understand its major limitations, but at the same time you understand what you will be served as a first obiettivo.rnStra advised to engage in the world of photography

Pros: The advantages of compromise.

Cons: But at that price "versus" want to find him?

Opinion: The aim of my 650D kit, it is absolutely to be reassessed and enhanced. But with what it costs what it claims? Takes pictures of beautiful, undignified, makes them beautiful. It 'a great all-rounder, with its 29-88 FF equivalent. Lightweight, with a simple building structure, for all seasons, for all locations, for all situations, for all backpacks. Personally, I prefer it, focal length apart, at 15-85. rnNiente less! I can already hear the skepticism of orthodox technicality.rnSfido anyone to prove, with comparative photos, the 18-55 is less beautiful photo of 15-85.rnUsatelo and there tradirà.rnGli do a nice 9, he deserves it .

Pros: Lightweight, compact, price stabilized.

Cons: AF capricious, MF Dial embarrassing.

Opinion: And 'the lens of many kits. For a photographer so much that after a while, 'it seems that his focus is not enough and often falls back on a longer lens. The stabilizer helps especially at the maximum focal length, the AF is a bit inaccurate in low light. The ring of MF have put in the most awkward and is a little too "soft", the final part of the lens rotates in focus and thus any lens hood. It is the lens that allows you to make the first photo with the car you bought and you can not expect who knows ... is still a good lens, it gets worse ...

Cons: It 's too easy

Opinion: What can I say, I branding image "standard", try it, use it and keep it until you decide to get one diverso.rnPer charity, is a great start, is not very bright and sharp, but it's always good for those who For beginners, perhaps when he bought his first entry-level.rnL 'af sometimes got crazy, but oh well, it means that you are training with the mf, otherwise you have to stick it out (especially for someone who does not have to be cifroni invest) and the first opportunity to change it immediately, I hesitated for a month and a half not knowing what to choose and at the end I have brought two (10-20 and 55-250) within the past six days, now I keep it in the box to make the dust, who knows, in the future I could use it to make the experiments

Pros: Price, lightness

Cons: Sharpness, focus, brightness, construction

Opinion: And I found in the lens of my Canon 650D kit, it certainly has many good points but also against it, starting with the sharpness that is excellent but all in all good, the brightness is very poor, the focus slow and imprecise , is a good "do everything", minimum distance of focus buona.rnPer who really begins to show itself to the world of photography is fine, but if you improve the quality of the shots will surely go a little tight.

Pros: Price, versatility, sharpness

Cons: As far as the coast of defects would find him granted, the only one that I would point out is the fact that, even with the autofocus inserted, the ring rotates thus making it a little difficult to screw the filters.

Opinion: I use it in a kit with a 550d, I initially thought that it was a bad lens but over time, learning to know its strengths and weaknesses, I must say that is giving me a lot of satisfaction, so I shelved the idea of ??replacing it with one like this: Tamron 17-50.rnPer those on a budget or those who looks at the photograph from novel lens straconsigliata!

Pros: Lightweight, "good" for those who are first experiences, discrete sharpness

Cons: Not very versatile AF slow, a bit 'dark, for those who love taking it feel tight immediately

Opinion: Optics supplied in the kit with my Canon. I never had high expectations, partly because I had read on the internet of a very negative light. In reality, however, compared to what they say this version is not bad, it is obvious that not excel, but it is not to be thrown away. Fair to begin, good for those who just want a quantum leap from a simple compact camera. The range of focal lengths that provides for my taste does not make it versatile optics, autofocus is very slow and the sharpness is good. So I already feel close after a short time, it will be that I love the details and sharpness .. will change it as soon as possible.

Pros: Versatile and stabilized

Cons: AF slow and dim

Opinion: It is the lens that I found in the box with the 1100D, and then allows you to use the machine immediately. Clearly can not be the best of the range. The lens is dim, and it happens in less than optimal conditions of light of needing to increase the aperture while losing depth of field, motion blur or risk with longer or have noise by increasing the ISO. The autofocus is not very fast and I happened to have difficulty focusing when there was no bright light. But you can not expect a lens to € 2000 included in the kit. Personally for me to start was very helpful, and I enjoyed using it. The zoom range is not huge, but allows you to landscape shots, portraits and macro (even if it has a 1:1 ratio, so it is not a true macro). And more stabilized. In my opinion it is a good goal.

Cons: Brightness, af slow, building just enough

Opinion: Versatile photographic tool that is well suited to be a bit 'of everything. From portraiture to paesagistica the street. Being a bit 'dark absolutely must be accompanied by something brighter. rnrnOltre to what has already been said by people more experienced, I would add that if you drop it you can take one of 2 ^ hand 60 €! rnrnQuindi, who is a beginner, can experience light-hearted without spending a fortuna.rnrnConsiderando worth the low cost a bell'8!

Pros: Very reasonable price, weight and size, stabilization.

Cons: Construction and brightness.

Opinion: Classic standard zoom kit. The construction is very plasticky (bayonet plastic) and the darker (3.5-5.6), but considering the price is great for those who want to start: sufficient clarity, good range of focal lengths to begin to orientate and stabilizer efficiente.rnConsigliato for beginners from zero as regards the world SLR and interchangeable lenses!

Pros: Price, size and stabilizer.

Cons: Slow AF, flare

Opinion: It 's the classic that comes in almost every kit, buy it separately even though it is almost worth it, but if you find yourself in the kit you use it a lot for its versatility. Suffers from the flare, recommended that the hood does not solve the problem but dim. Not bad stabilizer. Great rather the minimum distance of focus, 25 cm at all focal lengths, and when combined with an extension tube to focus 55 taking pictures macro remarkable.

Pros: Price, stabilized size.

Cons: Construction, flare,

Opinion: That is exactly what it costs, it is a good lens for those who approach for the first time to the world of SLR has a stabilizer all in all good, and it's really handy. What I think is the biggest flaw is the construction, just a year after my riscontrava problems in turning the focus ring of the excursion, is made entirely of plastic, and is missing a ring for manual focus. The flare is felt very much, even if the sun is not even close to the picture but there is a light a little harder.

Pros: economic, stable, versatile.

Cons: AF bad, compromise focal length / aperture.

Opinion: first objective possessed, taken with the kit. is very satisfactory in relation to price. I wonder stabilization efficacious, I shot at 1/13 with a little care with excellent results. closed 8 gives its utmost in sharpness but performs well from 5.6 to 11. although plasticky and not very fluid in the zoom and focus, you can manage well and its why. not recommend it to people who already have another lens as a substitute, but who is in the kit should have nothing to sneeze at.

Pros: Versatile, Economical, Sharpness, Stabilizer

Cons: So far I have not found anything negative

Opinion: This lens I've got the first camera I bought (450D) .. I switched to 50D and I kept it because it's really versatile in the photographs of every day. Portrait from photo to paesaggistiche.Abbinato a flash to achieve very good results even in places with low light. If used as it should offer clear images and does not occupy much space in your bag it nor the jacket! If you do not have special needs this is a lens to keep attached to the camera body.

Cons: - Not very bright

Opinion: Quoto "This lens is perfect for anyone who approaches the SLR photography for the first time, waiting to see what their needs are and the type of favorites and then buy the lens of desires", but I think this lens for 100 euro give so much.
