Good value, light, good enough quality, sort-of replacement for kit lens
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I am very happy with this lens. It has very good sharpness and excellent colors. I used it for filming with eos 5 mark2 in concert light conditions, and i did not beleive in my eyes. Its really too great for his money
yap this product is nice. Everything is all right. Basically I am buying the product about learning better quality photography.I also learned a lots of thing about this lenses.
Not the best zoom lens in this sort of range but made a great starter lens with a Canon EOS 10D purchase from Ebay. I have a Canon T90 and wanted to try a quality Canon digital camera, albeit a very early one. Just a shame I cannot use my FD lenses on it. I would recommend this lens as they can be picked up at good prices on Ebay etc, works fine and give a reasonable focal range after factoring in the 1.6 crop factor. Unlike the Sigma 100-300 zoom I also purchased shortly afterwards which introduced me to err 99, something all Canon starters in digital need to be aware of when buying an old, pre-digital, autofoces lens.
This is the standard kit lens for Canon film Rebels. The autofocus seems pretty fast and the zooming isn't too stiff. I wouldn't really recommend it if you have ANY other lenses as this is pretty much the bottom of the barrel for Canon zoom lenses. Not that it's a bad lens at all- I'm perfectly content with it, but it's just not that exciting. On the other hand, if you've a digital and are looking for something a little longer than the kit lens, or have an EF mount film camera and no lens this would do well enough. Really, though, if you shoot specific things get a specific lens (ie, the very inexpensive Canon F/1.8 50mm prime for portraits, or the similar F/2.8 28mm for landscapes). All in all, it is what it is a reasonable general-purpose starter lens.
