Covers a good range from wide to telephoto, focus speed is pretty quick for non-usm and accurate, you can get very sharp photos in good light. You can get by with one lens solution - great for non-pro users.Manual focus ring is tiny and loose, not easy to use.
- Fast focus
- good zoom range
- good IS
- high picture quality
- No USM
- manual focus not easy
- expensive

- Huge 11x focal length range, ideal general purpose and travel lens
- Excellent image stabilization system, consistently delivering three to four stops benefit
- Good central sharpness at all focal lengths (but inconsistent corners)
- Attractive rendition of out-of-focus regions of the image
- Improved build quality in comparison to the 18-55mm and 55-250mm kit lenses
- Well-placed zoom lock switch
- Poor sharpness across much of the frame at 18mm and wider apertures
- Pronounced barrel distortion at wideangle, and pincushion distortion around 50mm
- High levels of chromatic aberration at either end of the zoom range

- Effective Image Stabilisation
- Lock control to prevent barrel from extending
- End section doesn't rotate when focusing
- Noticeable barrel distortion at 18mm
- Softness and fringing in corners
- No USM focusing or full-time MF
- Some creep on the barrel
