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.

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.
