Pros: Quality kit lens, sharp, distortion-free, excellent colors, stabilized

Cons: A bit plastic, hood and filters rotate with focus

Opinion: Remarkable kit goal, anything but bottle bottom like some super hero in here loves to define entry level objectives ... in fact even used they do not give it away at all. Compared to the previous ones, the jump is remarkable, first of all optically, it also solves pixellated sensors, with the 550d for example that has the sensor of the 7d 18 mpx gives sharp images, defined with excellent colors, plus in wide angle does not distort. Another classic defect of the economic objective.... light falls at the edges, in this case almost absent. It must be said that in that period with the increasingly dense sensors the houses have done miracles to give kit lenses at the height, the same speech in fact also applies to nikon and sony that I own and the 18-55 corresponding are excellent, except perhaps nikon that with VR II distorts a little more than the others but the stabilization is remarkable, like this ef-s 18-55 is II by the way. In conclusion a small handyman very valid to start and immediately take quality photos, vote 9.

Pros: Lightweight and found in kit

Cons: Sharpness, brightness, distortion etc ..

Opinion: Honest lens that does his job discreetly. I assume that this review is for those who have just started with photography and already feel the need to switch to a more performing lens... NO!!! To understand the photograph is not buy the full frame camera and the L series lens so I become very good and I will take spectacular photos ... to become good you have to experiment and (I will never tire of saying it) STUDY. You start with the classic little book on the basics of photography, then you buy a tripod and a flash and you start experimenting and taking thoughtful photos (such as long exposures or playing with lights) and then move on to more specific books on composition or any field that interests you to understand which lens is actually right for you. This is what the kit lens is for, to be able to do tests and experiment in order to understand what kind of photos we want to do. Having made this premise has its limits such as the noisy af, poor stabilization, dark, not very bright and not very clear but if it is in kit there will be a reason ...

Pros: Lightness, sharpness stabilization, focus ring (*with some defects)

Cons: *Manual dancer focus, distortion.

Opinion: Purchased urgently to replace the irreparably damaged 18-55 IS-STM, it gave me decent results with the great advantage of no longer finding myself having the problem of partly blurred framing (see reviews of 10-18 and 18-55 IS-STM). On the other hand, the imperfections that afflict this lens are not lacking and consist mainly in the evident distortion at the corners of the frame at any aperture of the aperture and the focus that if set in manual, should have a lever to block it since it is all too easy to go out of focus at the slightest sudden movement.

Pros: Weight, price, ease of use, stabilization.

Cons: Sharpness, colors a bit 'off, slowness and uncertainty focusing.

Opinion: I purchased this optic kit with canon 1100d and accompanied me for a long time before being replaced by more performing optics. The stabilization, the ease of use, the weight and the ridiculous price are definitely advantages. But the fact of being a dark opaque, unclear, with a noisy focus and sometimes inaccurate and that returns colors are not always pleasant, they will soon try to switch to better optics.rnIn general, however, this lens allows you to obtain more than decent results and to get carried away with a reflex.

Pros: Lightweight, inexpensive, ideal to start

Cons: Low constructive quality (plastic), poor sharpness, noisy

Opinion: I used this lens for 6 months after I bought it in a kit with the Canon 1300 d. He has given me some great satisfaction, but after a few months he feels the need to have a better lens, even though he does his duty for a beginner like me. It's a lightweight lens, it's easy to carry, but it's crisp, light, very loud and slow in focus.
