  • Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II

    9 out of 10 points and recommended
    light weight, inexpensive, sharp images
    not used very ofter

    I use it in low-light situations and it works well but the images at high ISO can't really be said to be perfect, just good compared to other photos taken at high ISO

  • Canon EF 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM

    7 out of 10 points and recommended
    light weight, inexpensive, sharp images
    not very sharp at 300mm Does not work with ef 2x converter

    I bought it because of the 100 to 200 image quality. It does photograph at 300mm but it isn't nearly as sharp at that length. I doesn't work with the Canon 2x converter because they won't physically fit together.

  • Canon EF 28-90mm f/4-5.6 II USM

    small, came with camera
    quite slow. I usually don't use it at ISOs lower than 400 without a tripod

    It is a good standard lens for a film camera but doesn't have wide angle capability with an APS sized sensor. I use it as a carry around lens when hiking but I really need to carry a wide angle lens for landscapes. Sometimes I just carry the Elan 7 that it came with; it works well with a good quality film.

  • Olympus 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 Zuiko Digital

    10 out of 10 points and recommended
    comes with camera. Sharp images, light weight no need to replace it
    The 14-54 is faster and sharper, but weighes more

    It came with the camera and has no shortcomings. A faster lens is better. A wider angle is good, but the 14-45 is fine on its own.

    There is nothing wrong with this lens

    This is an excellent lens. It is 3.5-4.5 but has no problems. You do need to stand at least 10 feet away from your subject to get a decent image; it doesn't focus at closer distances
