  • Bulk-Package Surplus Lens, but Works Well.
Style: 8114B002
I wanted a really cheap decent lens to put on an old Rebel XT, and wanted a step up with STM and IS. The IS is really good, and will allow shutter speeds down to 1/15 sec or so verses the traditional 1/60 (or faster depending on focal length). Yes, the IS and the STM are very quiet when operating. The lens came double wrapped in plastic wrap, with English and Chinese labels on the inner bubble wrap packaging. The manual focus ring is really loose and rattles slightly--but does not spin freely. I get the impression that this lens maybe a 2nd quality (I'm not sure what Canon would put on a new retail camera and what they would sell off as aftermarket). Yes, the manual focus ring does work, just fine. See my attached photos--which I enjoyed taking. Note, this lens has plastic bayonette mount vs. metal. Yes, a lens cap and mount cap are included, but nothing else. A basic purchase and a win-win for my 15 year old Rebel XT. ... show more

  • Great product
Style: 8114B002
Clear pictures. Auto focus works great with the Canon camera. No issues.

  • Best Kit Lens
Style: 8114B002
This product is exactly what I expected, it was completely silent, great image quality, and great quality build. The manual focusing has trumps that of its predecessor the (non-STM model), the focus ring is rubber. If you leave the lens in auto focus (AF) mode it will not break the lens if you turn the focus ring at the same time. Although the focus speed is the same as its predecessor on my Canon T3i, it will go faster on a newer camera such as the Canon 70D. The seller was also awesome, he/she ship this item which seem to be a brand new white box (White Box, meaning it was part of a camera bundle but was taken out because the seller probably already had a lens or for other reasons.) shipped it in a box with appropriate packaging so that the product would be safe during its journey. ... show more

  • I challenge anyone to find a better lens for the price
Style: 8114B002
This lens lacks the features found on more expensive lenses, but I sell my work, and even the most trained eyes can't tell the difference in image quality in my finished images versus those taken with more expensive lenses. The autofocus is competent. The manual focus override is clumsy, but I rarely use it. Weather/dust seals are satisfactory for the price, though I would say that's the weak point of this lens. On the other hand, it's lightweight and makes a great hiking lens. If you drop it, you're not out the price of a used Toyota Corolla like would be the casse with high-end lenses. ... show more

  • Great Starter Lens For YouTube Video; Make Sure Its Working Correctly
Style: 8114B002
So Im not too keen on camera gear seeing as I just started to film my youtube videos with a canon 70d. I bought this lens separate and used for about 73 bucks. I'm aware this is a kit lens but am amazed on how clear these lenses really are. My experience so far has been an interesting one to say the least. The design is straight forward, its about the size of a mini soda can and has ridges towards the middle of the body; this is for twisting and using the manual focus. The upper rim of the lens towards the wider opening moves as well and I'm not sure why. There's IS (image stabilization) that probably should be on at all times (its said you don't really need it when on a tripod but I cant see it hurting; professionals my say otherwise). There is another switch that's along side the stabilizer and that's the AF/MF (Auto Foucs / Manual Focus); use this according to what your camera and situation requires. I mostly use the AF because my camera has amazing auto focus. Lastly, you have the markings that display the millimeters to where the lens is set. Twist right to focus in and left to focus out. In essence the lens seems well built. The functionality that really stands out to me is the STM ability. This stands for Stepper Motor which allows your camera to auto focus without any auditory noise while recording video. Its very smooth and becoming a staple on most setups from what I can see. Obviously, you don't need this if you're just shooting stills or landscapes but I say,"why not have it for the heck of it". Keep in mind this is an EF-S lens which means its compatible with full from cameras as well. All in all I found this lens to be a great first buy for a beginner on a budget. The fact that I bought it used also speaks volumes and the reason for my 4 stars. When using the lens, and I don't know if this is indicative of the camera or lens, I receive and error stating the camera or lens are not reading correctly; error 1. I'm not sure if its the camera or if its the lens so I give responsibility to both. Great lens. Very affordable, but make sure it works correctly. As of this moment I can still clean both the camera and lens and get them to work together but the question is how long. Time will tell. Hope this helps someone, and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Thank you for your time, Axiom Brevity ... show more

  • Great little lens on the cheap!
Style: 8114B002
When I first tried this I thought it was broken. Usually when my previous lenses were focusing there was some sound: a whirring or a slight scrape of plastic on plastic. Not so with this lens: it's dead silent. Took a little to get used to that. It usually focuses pretty well right away, though sometimes it struggles if there's a lot going on in the frame. So it was with my last kit lens, and so I expected it to be here as well. The photos come out nice and clear though, and good lord it's so quiet! Have I mentioned how quiet it is?? For the price you aren't going to do better. It's probably really great for shooting videos as there's no sound when it refocuses. ... show more

  • Mostly good, but my copy had terrible corner softness.
Style: 8114B002
My rating is 3 stars because the top corners of the lens are EXTREMELY soft. It might be my copy, but it was no where this terrible on the old version. I know this is a beginner lens, but I got this to replace my overused and broken Canon 18-55. The new STM motor is great. It was so silent that I thought it wasn't working. Took me by surprise. It's good for the price I got it at. Much less barrel distortion at 18mm. Super loose focusing ring with rubber (unlike the old version). Great for those who want pretty much silent focusing during video on the T5i and so on. ... show more
