Items In SLR Lenses You Might Be Interested InProduct Details of Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Zoom LensDescription In response to demands of photographers, this standard zoom lens is designed with Canon Optical Image Stabilizer technology while retaining the compactness and lightness of previous models. Its stabilization allows sharp hand-held shots at shutter speeds up to four stops slower than otherwise possible. It consists of 11 elements in 9 groups and uses an spherical lens element to correct aberration for excellent image quality throughout the zoom range and a circular aperture for exquisite rendering of out-of-focus backgrounds. Without a lot of size, weight or cost, this lens expands picture-taking possibilities any time slow shutter speeds are needed.

My night scene special lensStrengths: 4 stop IS, improved optical quality over the old 18-55 non IS version, light weight, very good price quality Weakness: Cheap feeling build quality, no USM, small aperture,EF-S not compatible with FF. I got this lens for my night view shoting exclusively. I have 24-70L covering my daily general shooting, 85 f/1.8 covering my outdoor portrait shooting. But I need a lens with IS function that can help shoot night scene without carrying tripod everywhere. This 1855IS fits my budget well(1755 2.8IS costs $930). IQ is better than old 1855 lens especially at 55mm end. I cann't tell you how good this...

Engineering marvelStrengths: Sharp Sharp Sharp with IS Cost Perfect wide angle lens for crop body Weakness: Build quality (what more do you expected for this price) I was in the market for a wide angle zoom for my 30D. I was almost about going to buy 17-40 (which is ofcourse L lens). Then I came across this new kit version 18-55 IS. I figured, my wide angle photography is going to be limited and hence there is no reason to spend fortune. I can instead buy two lenses for the price of 17-40, if I can live with the "non-pro" features of 18-55 IS. This lens is...

good lens for portrait and limited distance sceneStrengths: easy handling, light weight, IS improves the quality of the shot Weakness: no usm, not for long distance scene I bought this lens for my Canon 400D body. It is a nice lens for outside portrait. Although the zoom distance is limited, the IS really a good feature for the investment. One time I tried for the long distance shot, not zoomed large enough but the picture was very clear without bluring. Its light weight is also a good fit for travel. By using this, I got fairy sharp pictures when I traveled....

Does IS REALLY matter?
Strengths: Well to sum it up quickly YES. The IS System is very helpful in low light situation. Helps provide a very sharp picture compare to the Non-IS version of this lens.
Weakness: No real noticeable weakness as of yet. Focuses fast (for the price) and no back or front focus problems. My lens was an import so only problem may be warranty.
I suggest this lens because it isn't too hard on the pocket. and combined with the 55-250 IS it would provide a easy to carry IS kit, and would not cost to much. It is a very nice lens for beginners. If i got to do it again i would.
