There has been much reviewing of this lens. For the price, I give it full marks for the almost silent focus motor, the light weight and the sharp images. It's fine for street work and i can leave my 18-135mm in the bag whilst street shooting. If you drop this lens, it's not the end of the world-no mortgage required to buy a replacement.. All plastic construcion? so what? Less wear on the camera body. The near silent motor is a boon for video work in all situations. Recommended 100%.

It is quite good value at the price. The fact it comes with a lanyard makes it less easy to lose and so it can be left attached to one's camera strap or one's wrist.. It will fit any lens with a 58mm. diameter and could also be used on an analogue SLR with the same diameter lens to serve as an incident light meter making it a very useful photographic accessory.( The fact that you ask is the image sharp is not a relevant question as it is used to determine the white balance or the incident light falling on the subject being photographed ,therefore it is not a filter to photograph through.)

Much better than the non-IS kit lens, but strong barrel distortions at 18mm and high vignetting at 18mm at f/3.5. Flimsy construction. The review which prompted me to buy this lens over the non-IS version stated: "There were a few moments when I considered not to publish the results due to 'political correctness' because to date it was a quite absurd thought that such a cheap, or better 'affordable', lens can perform this good and I'm sure that some will not believe the findings even though they're supported by the published field images. Anyway, the resolution capabilities of the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS is nothing short of amazing. This is also surprising regarding the rather small changes in the optical design compared to the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II."Read full review
I am a lifelong Nikon user, but having acquired a Sigma 10-20 Canon lens, I was moved to buy an older EOS 500D to use it on. I have to say, not only does the camera outperform my later Nikon DSLR, it's more user friendly and intuitive and this standard 18-55mm lens that I bought recently - at an amazing price - is brilliant. The addition of IS to this latest version makes all the difference, so much so that my Nikon kit is going. Should have looked at Canon years ago!! Highly recommended for both performance and price.

I have used three of the earlier versions of this lens, which were decidedly poor. This version is light years ahead of the earlier ones and well worth buying. The image quality is superb but the main difference is that the zoom is so much smoother. Also focusing is brilliant.
