it's a solid basic lens , that offers more than a fixed focus . I'm looking to upgrade to a more versatile zoom, but this is solid and unobtrusive. get a uv filter to protect the lens

Comments about Canon Canon EF-S 18mm - 55mm f/3.5-5.6 USM Autofocus Zoom Lens for EOS 20D and Digital Rebel Cameras - USA Warranty:

I'm glad I bought this USM lens with my Digital Rebel two years ago. Its wide angle handles family photos as well as street shots, gardens, and landscapes when traveling. Making it my one lens keeps my bag light and my sensor clean.

Mounting ridge broke

Comments about Canon Canon EF-S 18mm - 55mm f/3.5-5.6 USM Autofocus Zoom Lens for EOS 20D and Digital Rebel Cameras - USA Warranty:

It took OK pictures for what I wanted to do until the mounting ridges (the things that screw into the camera) broke. They are made out of plastic and when I put the camera in my bag, it was to much for the lens and the ridges broke off.

Comments about Canon Canon EF-S 18mm - 55mm f/3.5-5.6 USM Autofocus Zoom Lens for EOS 20D and Digital Rebel Cameras - USA Warranty:

This is a good lens to begin with, but quickly you find yourself wanting more performance and clearity. It lacks in low light situations and washes out in day light even with a UV filter.
