I know nothing about ISO, shutter speeds, Ring lag etc... I'm so not a professional Photographer far from it. from Amazon.com This is a great lens. I use it for pretty much everything other than birds (I use a Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras for that). from Amazon.com So far, I really dig it. I was actually thinking of skipping this lens and buying the next best thing, which would be the 17-40L, but I didn't have the $700, so I'd be saving up for a few months, and I didn't want to take another photo with my kit lens. I had just picked up the 50 f/1.8 and realized how horrible the kit lens was at reproducing color, and it was blurry as hell. from Amazon.com I received this lens along with my Rebel XS, and it contributed to the incredible value of that camera. It's also "kitted" with the XSi and the upcoming T1i. from Amazon.com I received my lens this morning, and have spent the day trying it out. Overall, I am very happy with it. from Amazon.com i bought this lens because i was needing a not expensive short lens and i thought this one could work good because of the image stabilizer. but when i don't use it as a close up the image is kind of blurry and not to mention that for portraits if very hard to get eyes on sharp focus. from Amazon.com This is a quality lens, it can do everything you need, even to get your photos published. I now have > 10 photos published using it in top scientific journals and books. from Amazon.com I bought this lens to go with our Canon Digital Rebel XT. It works great. from Amazon.com Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS SLR Lens I purchased this lens based on a recommendation. From the start it opened up a much greater range for my photographic experience, a terrific universal lens. from Amazon.com What more do you want in a basic zoom lens? 3x zoom, compact, image stabilization to help compensate for it not being a particularly fast (wide aperture) lens. from Amazon.com
