Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Aspherical Lens for Canon EF-S-Mount DSLRs

This lens came with my camera, works fine for a beginner.

I have had three Cannon Rebel, first was 35 mm film, Second is Cannon Rebel DSLR and now the new Mirror less D100. This lens is a replacement for the DLSR. The original ceased to auto focus. Works perfectly. Thanks Canon, for the professional quality products and services since 1996. rea

5 Star Starter lens.. all the way.. part of my kit, and glade to have it.. I will upgrade soon and keep this in back up.. for the mounts are plastic.. and limited metal to metal contact for support and security on impact.. but it is a starter lens.. climbing out on the ledge is probably not your day one photo shoot.. but all functions work great.. to find the serial number you will have to pull it off the meta data of the photos information page. no serial number printed on the case or ring.. just not there as the photos say, and no comment to why.

I bought this lens because mine wasn't working properly. Basically I replaced the old one for this one. It works fine.

this lens is awesome of you're a beginner and are just getting the hang of things. BUT since it's very cheaply made it will not last you very long, it's frustrating! this lens is not worth the $200. Save up and buy one that actually works.

Lens arrived in good condition and is performing as well expected.

great lens. Perfect for landscapes, tight areas, and general use. lightweight, great glass, pin sharp pics!

I’m personally pretty attached to this lens as it’s my first lens I’ve ever had. As most others have said, I received it in a beginner level kit and I think for beginners, it’s a very versatile lens. The focal length range is good for a number of different subjects from people to landscapes. Of course don’t expect professional level quality from this lens, but we all have to start somewhere. Zoom lenses are also nifty, though they tend to sacrifice clarity for this feature. It is a little noisy when focusing and I have trouble shooting in semi-dark areas like neon-lit rooms or dusky beaches. While nice and versatile, it is pretty average. I almost always find myself using Photoshop and Lightroom to adjust for a beginner-quality lens in post production. Overall, I highly recommend this lens for beginners and those first learning how to shoot in manual mode. However, I recommend getting a prime lens for intermediate level photographers or those looking for a general lens upgrade.

This is often the standard lens that comes with many of the DSLR's. At first glance, it's great that it's lightweight and has good focal length range. It's ok for everyday snapshots but ends there. Has terrible end distortion, especially at lower focal lengths(wide angle), which makes it an issue for landscapes, group pics, etc. If you're at all concerned about image quality, you'll want to buy a replacement for this lens sooner than later.

Average lens. Details are not covered properly. Not properly sharpen landscapes.
