Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
Review of Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom lens. Review created 2004, latest update 2013.
Facts
very cheap but usable starter's lens
typically comes bundled with a camera body (also known as “the kit lens”)
in my use from 9/2004 to 6/2006
served well as my first lens
Pros
it doesn't get any cheaper than this
reasonable image quality especially when stopped down (is at its best between f/8 and f/11)
recommended as a first lens
if you don't set your expectations too high you cat get wonderful photos with it
Cons
images lack color, contrast and definition (the difference in these areas is big even compared to
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
)
its all cheap'n'plastic
not targeted for advanced hobbyist nor pros
when you have a change to try
something better
you will soon like to leave this home
