Canon's EF-S 18-55mm kit lenses have always been small, light and cheap and the latest versions have the very useful image stabilization feature. These lenses have been and continue to be a good value when purchased as a starter lens in a DSLR kit, but they have never been a strongly desired lens...

Standard zoom kit lenses are often the first thing that new DSLR owners upgrade, as they typically aren't built to last, don't have many features and deliver at best average image quality.

It's 100% better than 18-55 IS II. It's fast, quiet and sharp. Awesome for video. Front lens doesn't rotate. Ring of manual focusing is wide and convenient. I like it!

I bought this lens for my new 70D because of video and found it quite acceptable and very good for the price. It works well on auto focus in video mode.

Great all purpose lens for the much maligned EOS- M. Since Canon released a new firmware update addressing the focussing speed the camera focusses much more quickly to a point where speed isn't an issue. The 18-55 lens is a great lens to keep attached for everyday use.

Very fast delivery, properly packed and came in very secured. Good job.

I accidentally ordered the wrong lens for my Canon Rebel T2i; I emailed Photo 4 Now to let them know that I had made a mistake; The gentleman over the phone was very understanding and exchanged my lens for the one I originally meant to purchase

I can't think of any

I bought my EOS M in a kit that included this lens, the EF-M 22mm f/2, and the 90EX flash.Despite the EF-M 22mm being faster, smaller and lighter I ended up using the EF-M 18-55mm a lot more, mainly because of the flexibility of the zoom range.It's fine for general photography, but at times could do...

Small; light; compact; great image quality; effective IS

None really

This lens is a sleeper. IQ is great for the price. image stabilization seems up to Canon's claimed 4 stop. I've handheld 1/5 sec and have razor sharp images. Vignetting and distortion is easily corrected in post. The 22mm f/2 and 11-22 get all the glory but do not discount this lens.

IS easily 4 stops

vignetting and distortion

I bought two of these lenses, these are my everyday field lenses, you can't go wrong. Too good to pass at this price. Thanks.
