Junk lens from the start

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.

Your Average Lens

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.

Well this is a surprise!

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.

Good for my job

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. (:

outstanding for the price

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.

Excellent

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.

An Excellent purchase

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.

Great DSLR Camera

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.

disappointed!

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.

Nice Photos

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

Great video lens

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

Kit Lens with a twist

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.

Happy and content

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.

Great Kit Lens

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.

Sharp, Quick, Smooth Quiet Great

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.

Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens is designed for high-quality still image and video capture while being compact and lightweight, and features the optics, AF and image stabilization necessary for shooting in any number of situations. For brilliant image quality it has one high-precision aspheric lens to reduce chromatic aberration throughout the zoom range.

The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens features optimized lens coatings to ensure exceptional color balance while minimizing ghosting and flare and a 7-blade circular aperture to ensure beautiful, soft backgrounds. For outstanding performance, the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens perfectly complements the Movie Servo AF feature found on select EOS Cameras with a compact six-group zoom system and a new stepping motor and focus mechanism to deliver smooth and quiet continuous AF during movie shooting. Still photography benefits from a high-speed CPU and an optimized AF algorithm. Full-time manual focus is available in AF mode and the front element does not rotate during focus, perfect for use with polarizing filters. Handheld photography is enhanced by the lens' Optical Image Stabilizer system, offering the equivalent of four stops of compensation. Compact and highly versatile, it is the ideal lens to carry anywhere.
