Soft, chromatic aberration

It's a sad fact that the majority of DSLR users will stick to the kit lens for their photography, and if you persist with this lens, you're really letting your images down. Chromatic aberration, distortion and sharpness range from average to poor.

In lens land there's no such thing as a free lunch and the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II is an example for that.Under controlled conditions (stopping down two stops at 18mm) the lens can provide very decent results -certainly more than enough for casual...

Enough sharp over 5.6, but AF is slow

Used lens with damaged AF (chip failure). Build quality is a bit better, than 18-55. Better multi coatings, but image quality is the same

small and lightweight, great image quality even wide open with sharp corners (except in the 50-55mm range)

flimsy build quality, rotating front lens, strange flare in contrasty lighting conditions
