  • Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 USM

    5 out of 10 points and recommended
    Good value for money, reasonably sharp when stopped down,light weight
    CA's, soft wide open

    Got this lens as part of 350D (rebel XT).

    It is reasonably sharp for the money that I spent. However, I need to stop it down to at least f10 in order to get sharpness.

    CA is a big problem. It can be corrected in editor, still it is a big problem for me.

    Distortions are pretty high but I can easily correct in editor.

    It is light weight and small, I can easliy take it during my family trip without any major complaints from my wife!
