Product Review
I received this lens as part of a kit when I bought an EOS Elan II, and I speedily realized that I needed to upgrade. The optics are mediocre at best, creating it practically impossible to obtain ultra-sharp pictures. The cost is low-cost, and so may be the lens; the overall workmanship and top quality is low. Should you be a beginner just acquiring into SLR photography, you'll be significantly greater served by acquiring a couple of prime lenses (I suggest 50mm and 80mm) of greater high quality. If you definitely ought to have a single zoom lens to cover a range of focal lengths, spend $100 more to obtain the better lens. It's going to make an enormous difference in the quality of your pictures. (Review More...)
