Lens is a great bundled deal, not sure if other reviewer has ever used more than a point and shoot based one the review.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Kit Lens
on December 30, 2023
Posted by: DKizzy
Like a previous reviewer I was confused about the lens shooting position message. I was coming from a Sony A6000 where the stock lens would just boot up and be ready to shoot. On this lens, you have to turn the lens until it reaches the 18mm position and then it's ready to shoot. Took me one google search to figure it out, so I have no clue why he complained about trying to figure it out for two hours. Anyway, I hope this helps out some other beginners!

Awesome kit lens, great for beginners. This was my first lens and it introduced me to a world of landscape photography. I definitely recommend for aspiring photographers!

The workshop lense.
on September 11, 2024
Posted by: major angle
Just got this lense when the RF-S18-45mm Mirrorless Camera came with it.
Its definitely more hefty and your basic selfi stick mount maybe overweight.
if mounted on a small stick and leaned forward a bit it will fall.
The Lense is bigger too so should bring more clarity to media.
definitely better then the basic lenses but also doesn't have as much zoom.
This is ideal for closeups or objects 5-10 feet away.
Alternatively maybe good for landscape style photos.
I got it for documenting my work and analysis.

This lens confuses boomers and scares them off back to DSLR land.

Good lens for casual photographers
on April 27, 2025

The RF-S18-45 is good lens for everyday photography. This lens is very sharp, has good IS, and a decent AF system. It isn't the brightest lens, but it is small and light compared to brighter lenses and its older EF-S equivalent.
