When I got it, Auto focus did not work so I was stuck using Manual focus for everything. Now after 2 years my camera says "Err 01 Communications between the camera and lens is faulty. Clean the lens contacts" This lens has and always will be TRASH.

I have been using this lens for about one year and it is an average lens. I use this lens on my Canon EOS T5i DSLR. When I was a beginner, I used the servo auto-focus and sometimes it would not focus properly. Also, the lens is close to the manual focus area, and it is hard not to touch the lens. I would rate this lens a 3/5.

This lens is the king of the kit lenses and not only! It is very surprisingly sharp indeed and the STM autofocus motor works extremely fast and silently. You will simply be amazed.

We use this lens in conjunction with a Cannon t6i to produce great photographs of families in a portrait style for my work. This lens is perfect for getting both wide and zoomed in pictures with great detail. Would highly recommend for any amateur or professional photographer or business. (:

Sure, there are features I'd enjoy that this lens doesn't have, (such as infinity-stop focusing), but I'd pay an awful lot to get any of those few features, and they're really not that important. In all aspects that for me are essential, this lens performs so well that it's hard to believe I got it for such a small price.

Incredibly sharp that in sharpness my 24-105mm “L” lens is not any sharper than this lens. What impressed me the most was that focusing is silent and very fast. For shooting video I would not use any other lens. I would say this lens is the by far the best APS-C (Crop Sensor lens you can use. It's a thrill to use this lens.

is my first purchase of a Canon SLR camera and Canon lenses. My first set of photographs of my grand son's birthday part were more than satisfactory. All pictures were clear, crisp and color balanced. I hope to take more pictures, particularly nature pictures in the near future.

This Canon EOS Rebel Camera I bought is very easy to use. I have to say one thing that struck me as clever was the explanation of the Camera Settings, (when you turn the settings Knob) displayed on the LCD Screen. Excellent smarts there from Canon.

Very easy to use, not too large or small, I have small hands and it's comfortable for me to use.

This is my first SLR camera. Bought this camera based on the Canon name. I was told that the T3 was a good camera for beginners. This is the lens that came with it. So far my experience is disappointing. I take better pictures with my iPhone:(When I focus on a subject, it takes forever to "read" the lighting and I therefore often miss the picture. I attended a class and was told that this is a "KIT Lens" and that I need to upgrade. I don't think I should have to upgrade yet. I feel the camera and lens should work! This is not the highest price range for EOS cameras, but nonetheless It should work! I was excited about the prospect of creating better quality pics....I'm afraid It will not happen with this camera and lens.

Love the new camera and lenses. The lenses seem to cover a wide range of views/magnifications, and picture clarity is unbelievable!!

The 18-55 mm IS STM lens is great for video.It smoothly & noiselessly glides from subject to subject. For stills the focus is lightning fast. Super sharp lens. At closer distances at 18mm, barrel distortion is very pronounced. I have not noticed it at normal distances. The plastic bayonet mount contributes to its light weight; but I prefer metal. The electronic manual focus takes getting used to. You have to have the camera on to focus & there are no stops at the ends of the focus travel. The focus ring is always free turning. The faster you turn it, the faster the lens focuses. Rotate the other way & the lens focuses the other direction. The electronic focus is an acceptable trade off for the super auto focus. The lens looks better in real life, but still looks like a kit lens. The hood (extra shades well , but is unattractive

I ordered this lens for a Canon T4i. The STM was designed for this camera for focusing while filming. The noise created by non STM lenses is horrendous! The noise was eliminates with this lens but thats about it. The auto focus is not as advanced on this camera as the recently released 70D so it didnt benefit me. I'm also not a fan of really light weight lenses so that was a con. I never use the kit lens and since this is simply the kit lens with a twist, it didn't work out for me.

Sometimes I need to take pictures or video in tight places, like a vehicle or a small plane. This wide angle lens if perfect for the job. So far I am very happy with this lens.

This lens came with the Rebel T5i as a kit and have no complaints - wish it stopped down to 2.8 f stop.

Love the video capabilities - focuses and zooms quickly and silently. Lightweight and compact.

For a kit lens this is really good. Never had an issue with sharpness unless it is operator error. Very light weight and makes for a nice carry around lens.

I purchased this lens to go with my Canon T4i as I wanted the best possible video performance and the flexibility of zoom lens. I had considered the 40mm STM lens but for the $ difference this lens is a much better value. It's lightweight construction is a real advantage as it permits you to use a lightweight stabilizer to get the best possible video performance. The full time manual focus is a real step up from the old kit lens and adds extra value.
