Pros: Very quiet, effective stabilizer, light weight, very good value for money.

Cons: Plastic bayonet, used materials and usual absence of the lens hood.

Opinion: Bought in kit with Canon 100d, ridiculous additional expense. I was expecting a bottle bottom and instead I was surprised at positive. It is a more than discreet optics and for the price I paid I can not really talk about it badly, I also bought a compatible lens hood I thought I would resell it right away! I also like the colors and with the lens profile of Lightroom the distortion in good part corrects itself. Only pity for the materials usati....ma everything you can not have!

Pros: Weight, sharpness, fast, quiet af, af interior, full time manual focus rn

Cons: No end manual focus race, like all the STM. It's a 18-55, then it will never be taken seriously, otherwise, given the price, no cons.

Opinion: L I got to replace an old 18-55 unregulated, mounted just thought it was broken, no noise, no barrel revolved in focus, when I found it worked ... Wow. rnNon is usually the bottom of the bottle, despite the plastic looks solid, the sharpness is good and the stabilizer works great. It is an excellent companion for traveling outputs without special needs, the zoom range can be used in many situations. rnTutto this without considering that it costs a hundred Euros !!

Pros: Sharpness, AF, Stabilizer, weight and overall dimensions, close-up.

Cons: 29-88 mm

Opinion: Compare this objective at 18-55 DC III owned previously (virtually smooth I'IS II) .rnAF faster and absolutely silent, slightly higher sharpness with positive response and constant f3.5 to f11 (DC in the f 5.0 was the best opening). Multiplication factor which rose from 0.36 x0,34 (having them had I been able to simultaneously compare them on this aspect, and damn little improvement there and it shows) .rnLeggermente longer and heavier but still very light (as the materials) but perfect. Stabilizer on DC III was missing, here even to say what would be its advantages pratici.rnPerfetto targeting all do, on the road I took it with me and I only suffered a little for wide-angle and tele, a few millimeters of focal down and up it would be better.

Pros: lightweight easy to handle economic

Cons: autofocus noisy and not very reliable in the dark, color a little lighter

Opinion: generally happy with this lens because it is useful in almost all occasions. obviously with a reduced cost so you can not ask for anything else, even if going to look at the hair autofocus and noisy and the dark makes it very difficult (although they usually do not use much). however, to start a successful lens that makes you have fun !!!

Pros: Sharp, light, silent, fast, great stabilizer. For me a valid Zoom. Great as KIT.

Cons: It would be even better if they made a 15-70 of equal quality. The hood is missing.

Opinion: UPDATE OF 09/06 / 2017.rn My best goal, as far as I'm concerned, better than 17-55 f / 2.8. My copy is NITIDA, it loses a hair towards the left but negligible edge. Live View from the best of it. And it does not look a bit short, it's also light! UPDATE UPDATE Used on Canon EOS 750D. It's a good handyman, easy to use and quality. I tried the following kit lenses: 18-55 IS II, 18-55 III and sony 16-50 oss (when I had the alpha 5100). RnrnE 'the best kit i've ever used! Better than previous versions, some are really scarce! And even better than Sony's competition. The clearest I've ever tried! For me also the canon ef-s 10-18 IS STM.rnOnly the NITIDEZZA is pleasantly SILENT and fast in AF, the STABILIZER is really OPTIMAL! And I have no firm hand! I'm happy for those who want to be light and do a little bit of everything without big pretensions. RUNNING OF 09/06 / 2017.rn My best goal, as far as I'm concerned, better than 17-55 f / 2.8. My copIa is NITIDA, he loses a hair towards the left but negligible edge. Live View from the best of it. And I look no sooner, it's also light!

Pros: Light weight, low noise .stm and also stabilizer, sharpness, although plastic totally transmits a very solid feel

Cons: the price of the original lens hood that costs as much as 1/4 of optics and is also made in china, nothing compared to the price at the time.

Opinion: Mine are the first impressions after buying this in mind as a forklift truck, waiting to cater to the 17-85 arrangement Canon the failed unexpectedly for the second time every six years. When he had found on sale with just two days to live after the purchase, I paid just 70 euro with a two year warranty. In hand do not like this chip as the previous series, and transmits a pleasant feeling to the touch, also it weighs less than half the optics that I broke down and is also more compact. The engine does not feel in the least, so it's quieter than even all'USM the 17-85 Canon or Sigma 70-200 f2.8 HSM my EX, as well as quiet is the stabilizer (so that both beginning they seemed even not work for the commissioning speed focus and low noise) and not interfere minimally while shooting video. After the first shots I can confirm, as reported in other reviews, that the sharpness remains at levelsmore than good at all focal lengths with a small decrease in the maximum focal TA, while in some situations is even better perspective of the other in my possession that cost a lot more. The stabilizer is effective. I think that even repairing the other optical I will keep always in your backpack for any emergency or to shoot videos more easily. I assigned to this end the 9/10 vote for the favorable ratio quality / price and very good sharpness observed. If there had been the bayonet metal and hood made in china included in the price I would have quietly given a 10 round round. Then if you should fail after a few years, for what it costs matters little. For more in-depth impressions I reserve to integrate with a subsequent publication.

Pros: Light, fast, quiet, effective stabilization, price!

Cons: The price at which it is located and its characteristics? No.

Opinion: Used with enthusiasm on my dear old 550D. Also in the house I could take full aperture without flash and without having moved. Ok, I hand surgeon, but stabilization is very efficient. Plastics are ... Plastics, but the result of the final lightness makes it perfect for taking pictures anywhere without suffering the weight as a conviction. For video it is then incredibly quiet. A gem that with about 100 € you take home.

Pros: price is not very high

Cons: Autofocus does not work perfectly in the dark

Opinion: the dark board the manual focus as it does not focus very well, but when it comes to focus in enlightened days I can say that is very good at his job. a lens which I can not complain too much, for this advice for those who are new to hands with a digital SLR using this objective was already included with the Canon EOS 1200D

Pros: Quality / price ratio, focus fast and quiet, weight.

Cons: Nothing at this price

Opinion: Paid just under 100 euro again, at this price I did not expect this quality, good construction (although all in plastic), lightweight, great focus: fast and extremely quiet, skews a bit 'but nothing about 18-20 mm disastrous, good nitidezza.rnConsigliatissimo to start (I sold it just to pass the 18-135 STM), in comparison to the previous model (tested by a friend) a different story!

Pros: Focus fast, weight, price, does not seem to kit

Cons: Dim

Opinion: In my kit it was not there. There was the 18-55 unregulated. A bottom of the bottle. When I had the opportunity I got used to 80 euro. Never having had a lens and stabilized stm really surprised me. The focus is ultra quiet, fast. And 'precise enough, in proportion with the price and quality of lenti.rnFino to 40 mm is quite clear. Above loses a bit 'but nothing to worry about.

Pros: Speed ??focusing, low weight, great for video.

Cons: Dark, not too sharp.

Opinion: And 'the lens kit with my 70d. And 'the lens with which I learned about the 70d. I must say that, after some time of use, it's okay to start and to have a comfortable all do, especially in the video. The focus is very quiet and fast and also reasonably accurate. The quality is not greatest 55 mm, a little better than 18 mm, discreet in between. Certainly for the price range and more than acceptable. Moreover also having a 55-250 mm IS II, the systems of focus are not comparable, throughout life STM between the two. rn

Pros: Autofocus quickly and accurately, price

Cons: Not found

Opinion: This is my first goal, but chose not bought with my EOS 100D. Being the first I have no yardstick, then I do not know if it's better or worse than others, but I can tell you that the autofocus is very fast, only "defect" photos with f3.5 I get a bit 'noisy edges but it could be my fault since I'm a beginner.

Pros: Crisp, stable, fast and accurate autofocus absolutely silent, economical.

Cons: No One.

Opinion: I bought this lens after selling my 18-55 is II. Council to all owners of the SI II to make this upgrade because with a few Euros will get, among other things, a striking autofocus.Il aesthetic side is not to be considered as it is a lens that is all sostanza.in synthesis was objectively a good buy, and not only in relation to its price!

Pros: Very quiet - Focus fast - Sharp

Cons: None for this price range

Opinion: I took it as a replacement to the 18-55 IS KIT with the 450d that I use currently. Well not one but a jump of N generations in all terms. Before I was unhappy I thought it was the camera body, but as usual, goes to show that the lens is critical. The photos are nice crisp outside now in post-production and I just have to do a little tweaking. The autofocus is so quiet that you wonder if it will work, and also very fast. I recommend it as a replacement of the other provided in the previous kit.

Pros: for perspective kit is really better than the old IS II is much more 'sharp in the center lose a little on the sides, but I would say it is more' discreet. The AF is fast and quiet, good for videos. Tends to have warm colors, otherwise it's a decent lens at that price.

Cons: no one, apart from the loss of sharpness towards the 50mm anything.

Opinion: A few weeks ago I bought this lens just for fun since I was old Isii it was not that great, after other similar zoom eg sigma 18-50, I can say that the new stm is really much improved approaches to slow almost to the same category higher . rnIo recommend it to those who are at the beginning and wants to learn to shoot a lens or want to fight to bring it with you.

Pros: fast focus and silent, sharp, stm.

Cons: for the price of none

Opinion: I state that I had an old canon 18-55 is. Moving on to this thought of us just a few pictures and then sell it and get me a decent all-rounder. Rather to my surprise I found it very well. Lacks brightness but for that price I would not have even asked. His overtures to compete head-on with lenses that cost twice as much. It has a fast, silent focus and ultimately, no small thing for me, as I had a 100d, it is lightweight.

Pros: Focus Fast, quiet, cheap, price performance above average

Cons: It 'still a target entry level

Opinion: Bought to replace the 18-55 IS III, I have seen that seems to really have done better. The engine does not feel in any way and this can be a plus for those who turn video. I would say that the brightness is obviously still a bit plasticky, but much less than its predecessor which I already tried. I consider it a really good lens for beginners.

Pros: fast in focus, sharpness above the average whereas it is an economic objective.

Cons: for what it costs I would say no.

Opinion: I found him as original equipment for my Canon 100d. Soon I'm going to move on to other more objective light, I think of a f 17-50 1:2.8, but I think I'll keep this, as on more than one occasion has given me some wonderful shots and the engine can be useful stm to shoot some video. I found it a bit uncomfortable the ring of focus that has no limit and does not allow me to find the infinite.

Pros: is affordable .. autofocus scream for this category

Cons: for the price I do not see

Opinion: it took to replace the old 18 55 is .. I do not know if it's luck but it stranitido! on canon 600d .. really glad I paid 107 euros on galaxistore with shipping .. I did various tests of comparison with the old and the photos are remarkable more detailed and brighter excellent for this class of lens .. also seen that I intend to stay on APSC I'll buy the 70d that fully exploit the video in af

Pros: the new system stm, autofocus fast enough

Cons: for my needs too short and too long at 55mm to 18mm

Opinion: for the price it really is a good target, greatly improved compared to older models of home canon. stm technology is excellent for video, the focus is quite fast and extremely quiet. little light but with the 70d is not a problem. construction plasticky but for 95 Euros you can not expect more. Good for people like me who are beginners
