I bought this lense to replace the kit lense which came with my Canon camera after the kit lense failed outside of warrenty. The autofocus packed in.The model which I have now purchased is a later version and works just fine with the usual high standard of picture quality that we expect from Canon. We have to remember that this class of lense is not in the upper bracket in terms of construction but then the price reflects this. A very good lense for the enthusiastic amateur.
Wanted a reasonably cheep lens with image stabilization. Will never compete with the more expensive lenses in the Canon range, but is a marked improvement on the old EFS 18-55mm (mark 1)lens. If you want a reasonable lens to take with you on holiday without damaging your more prized lenses, then this is the one for you. Good colour resolution and good sharpness and finally easy to use.
Note: the review "is it durable" question doesn't give a "don't know yet" option (I only just bought the item), but I can assume so seeing as these lenses are often for sale secondhand in good working condition. Focuses fast, slight whirr when it does so. Other than that, it's a stock Canon EF (S) autofocus lens that takes 58mm filters. I'm not a sufficiently advanced user to be able to discuss vingnetting, distortion or whatever.

Auto Focus is great but you can also manually focus which is good for any serious photographers

You have to remember this is a kit lens and it’s not the most expensive lens, but for the money it’s as good as you are going to get, similar lens, with a better spec and performance as going to cost a lot more. It’s a good lens to start with.
