Canons redesigned compact EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II autofocus zoom lens approximately a 28-90mm lens in 35mm format is smaller and lighter than conventional lenses because of the shorter back focus distance. By reducing the distance from the rear of the lens to the imaging sensor and reducing the size of the image circle to accommodate the cameras imaging sensor size the lens produces high image quality with superb resolution at all focal lengths. By optimizing the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II lens coatings Canons engineers have effectively minimized the chance of flare and ghosting which are more prone to occur with digital cameras than with film cameras. The coatings reduce reflections off the rear of the lens to deliver crisp undistorted digital images.

Customer Reviews
Not a $229.99 Lens
This is an adequate lens but the new kit lens Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS for the 450D/Rebel XSi sells for $137.80 on its own...and that lens has image stabilization Looking at the prices for the 400D/Rebel XTi with and without this lens the price for this lens is around $40-$80. The folks who are selling this lens at this price must be laughing pretty hard each time they make a sale.
Not a great lens
I dont know if I have a poor copy of this lens or what but Im not crazy about the image quality it makes - even when stopped down. Im looking for a better wide lens. It is possible to get good sharp images from this lens but many images are "soft" from it.
Great for the Price. from a new SLR fan ..
This is the kit lens that comes with Canon Rebel XTs models and others. I just bought the XT 350 with this lens. Im a pure newbie to SLR photography but I dove right in since I have been a avid shooter with 35mm for years. I did a lot of research and read reviews on different type of lens as I was concerned with the UNFAIR bad rep of this kit lens after I ordered the camera. Even from expert review sites they admit the dogged perception of this lens is unfair indeed and this is actually a very good everyday lens. After 2 weeks of use I have to agree. Here are the reasons: 1 Afford ability: You can pick this lens used/aftermarket easily for under $100. It is worth every penny of that. The new more expensive model with Image Stabilization IS is better but overrated. Im a beginner and it only took me a week of learning to start getting the most out of this lens. Its image quality is terrific. You cant beat the value from this 2 Color and Sharpness: The lens is very sharp and can capture great images. The reason most newbies doesnt like this is because it doesnt work well with the point-n-shoot modes on the SLRs. I was frustrated too at first as images wasnt "right" but its the user not the lens. Play with the P mode instead of the point and shoot modes. Learn to use the exposure settings based on light conditions adjust your light conditions higher/lower to capture the amount of light appropriately and use the build in flash occasionally in very bright conditions. keep experimenting and you will see this lens potential. I am very happy with my latest set of results from my honeymoon trip so far.. they keep on getting better and better... 3 Weight portability - As a newbie you dont want huge zoom lens thats heavy to lug around. This is light weight from its plastic body and easy to carry around for everyday use. So if you are getting started learn to love this lens. You are using SLR for a reason so ditch the point and shoot start experimenting and have fun with this. After 2-3 weeks learning curve it will SMOKE ANY 35mm digital cameras results easily. You dont need the more expensive Image Stabilization version unless your hands shake all the time and need to take many night mode/slow shutter pictures. This lens is worth every $ of its $one benjamin street price tag and when you get very comfortable with SLR basics I then recommend the $four benjamins Tamron SP AF17-50mm F/2.8 Di II LD Aspherical IF as its replacement. But for now I am perfectly happy with this lens and believe you will too. Happy shooting Check out the night view pictures and the Ayutayya pics I have uploaded as samples of what this cam can do. the Images are untouched
