I have had three Cannon Rebel, first was 35 mm film, Second is Cannon Rebel DSLR and now the new Mirror less D100.
This lens is a replacement for the DLSR. The original ceased to auto focus.
Works perfectly.
Thanks Canon, for the professional quality products and services since 1996.

Cant really complain.

For the price of this lens i cant really complain. It came wit my Rebel T2i. There is little to no distortion around the edges while it is zoomed all the way out at 18mm. It delivers fairly sharp images. I cant really complain about it besides it being made of plastic and its rotating front element. Also the Auto-focus is not the fastest. Good wide angle for casual photographers and beginners.
Pros: good enough for price
Cons: rotating front element, made of plastic, Slow auto-focus
I would recommend this to a friend!

CANON QUALITY

Pound per pound , round for round, simply put Canon delivers.The IS system is a must and gift from the gods as far as picture taking. The lens ii self is solid as a rock balanced and quiet. At maximum distance the image is sharp and close up the detail is scary good. I buy and will only buy Canon for my serious picture taking.
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, Super-sharp images
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am most pleased,but more surprised by a relatively low cost lens. Canon has done their homework with this lens in combining quality optics with outstanding IS in a relatively light weight package. I have taken long range, macro, and portrait shots with great satisfaction.
Highly recommend!

This is the second time I have Purchased this lens. I first bought it as a kit lens wit Canon 300D a few years ago. I have many fond memories of taking many fine photos encompassing portraits, landscapes, animals and birds. Right now with several L series lenses and some others I did not need this lens but it is very handy for walks with my dog. Excellent purchase for a very small price. photos come out very sharp.
Pros: Superior build quality, Super-sharp images
