• Canon's Third Try on a 18-55 Kit Lens!
  This review is for; Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS SLR Lens
  For those that are unaware this is actually Canon's third version of a 18-55 kit lens. The first lens was your basic 18-55 EF-S 1:3.5-5.6 (the lens I got with my XTi). Next came the same lens, but with a USM motor (very limited availability, probably because Canon had the IS version in the works). The third version is the 18-55 EF-S 1:3.5-5.6 with IS (image stabilization).
  So far, I have been very satisfied with this lens as I have used... more info

• For the money, it needs to be in your bag!
  I purchased this lens two days ago, and since I have already I've pulled about 200-400 images through that thing. Though it's not a "wide-angle" lens, it certainly clearly captures down at 17mm and it's pretty darn wide.
  I'd have to give this thing two thumbs up. For speed. For weight. For image quality.
  Definitely one to keep in the camera bag.

• Decent lens
  I bought this lens to replace the original kit lens of my XTi. Based on reviews, it is supposed to be optically better than its predecessor. I like the IS and the pictures are somewhat sharper than with the previous lens. It was inexpensive and I'll be selling the other lens on Ebay so overall, I'm glad I made the investment. If it was more expensive, I don't think I would have switched.

• Good quality, lightweight
  The 28-135 IS lens came with my Cannon EOS 40D camera. Good lens, but somewhat heavy. Also, did not provide enough of a wide angle. I take mostly outdoor landscape pictures and most of them are taken when I am on vacation. This 18-55 IS lens is very lightweight and produces very good pictures. After purchasing it, I am finding that I use it about 75% of the time and the 28-135 lens that came with the camera only about 25% of the time.
