EF-S Lenses  By reducing the distance from the rear of the lens to the focal plane and reducing the size of the image circle to match the size of the APS-C imaging sensor used in digital SLRs such as the EOS 20D camera and Digital Rebel camera,Canon's EF-S lenses reduce the size, weight and cost of wide-angle lenses for these cameras while at the same time producing high image quality with superb resolution and contrast at all focal lengths.  EF-S 18-55 3.5/5.6 USM  This is the USM version of the popular EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom lens that is available in kit form with the EOS 20D camera and Digital Rebel camera. Both lenses have an angle of view equivalent to a 29-88mm lens on a 35mm camera. Weighing in at just 6 oz. and measuring only 2.5 inches in length, the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 USM produces exceptional image quality in an ultra-compact package. The new lens accepts 58mm filters and features Canon's exclusive Micro USM II focusing motor technology for swift and silent AF.

Good 2nd lens for covering events. With a shoe flash indoors its ok.

Versatile zoom

The focus could be better and I do wish it had image stabilization to prevent camera shake by other than that the lens is sufficient for casual photography.

Rating

I purchased this lens used because I needed a normal lens. This used product has proven it worth I have used it at a wedding, retirement party, indoor and outdoors it has good quality and is smaller than my original lens.

Good solid porduct

Basically a stock lens. If it comes with your camera? Sure, you might use it. If you're thinking of purchasing it on it's own? Save your money and get a lens you'll be happy with.

Ordinary

Regardless of the cons, I love this little lens, it works for me.

Inexpensive and great..

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

a solid lens to start with

don't need the USM feature - too exoensive for the use.

Get SIGMA - lots less $ with better results (sharper)

the inside lense gets dusty very quickly

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.

The only lens I travel with

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.

Mounting ridge broke

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.
