Good Points: Excellent lens - the image stabiliser makes all the difference as my photos are in low light with no tripod. Bad Points: None really!

This is a great lightweight all purpose lens when you can only take one lens and not sure what you are doing that day!
Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Lightweight
Blurry Focus
My Canon T1 came equipped with an EF-S 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Standard Zoom Lens. Right away, I got fantastic results with this combination. The lens (when paired with the T1) is as simple/automatic as can be, or if so inclined, as complex as you want to be.
This is an excellent lense for any photographer looking for a good, standard lense for shooting landscape shots. Or if you simply want to be able to
Flexible lens perfect for someone new to SLRs and only someone with an ego wouldn't use it when on holiday. It's light and won't be a burden around your neck. It's images lack a bit of punch but clarity and colour can always be enhance in post.
IS makes low shutter speeds easier to use; Quite sharp all round; Gets a reasonably shallow depth of field at 55mm at f/5.6; Cheap, compact and light; Common 58mm filter thread
Some lateral CA, manual focus ring is difficult to use; Not the most accurate autofocus results; I've noticed coma wide open in some shots; Colour rendering is a bit flat; Not exactly a solid design (should survive a slight knock, but not much more)
I like it a lot, it came on time and replace the original that came with my camera. The service was great and so was tracking my order.
Lightweight; Consistent Output; Easily Interchangeable; Durable; Fast / accurate auto-focus
an OK lens for the price, but you will outgrow it fairly quickly if you care about your photography
cheap; lightweight and sharpness is OK
There are much better lenses for not that much more money
This is a typical Canon lens, bundled with many of their DSLR cameras. It provides variation without spending a lot of money, and the quality of photos is excellent.
Can do close up photos, as well as wide angle; provides a lot of variation
Plastic parts; but for the money it is just right
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.
Full Time Manual Focus; Lightweight; Sharper Than Previous; Virtually Soundless Focus
Looks cheap
Handling and features This is the latest incarnation of Canon's 18-55mm image stabilised kit lens for EF-S compatible EOS cameras sporting their new STM stepping motor technology, which promises to provide smooth, silent autofocus, especially well-suited for shooting video.
