... will have upgraded from this lens before it became a problem. Obviously they were wrong. This lens suffers massive flares when approached by certain sunlight, it shows up in my photos and effectively ruins them. Also, it exhibits the purple fringing; it is visible at all focal lengths and apertures. Nothing anyone can do to prevent this, it is to do with the chromatic aberration from the lens. It is much more obvious when shooting a dark object against a white background. It is only noticeable if you c...more

Must make this clear that it is the older version of 18-55mm before they upgraded it to fit the 450D and above. So 400D and below. ============== When starting out in photography; most people get entry level camera body like 400D Canon EOS, this lens comes with the body to form the basic kit lens. As far as I know, you cannot purchase this lens officially with its boxes and such, you can buy one off Ebay for a reduced price of £50 or so without its boxes. Before purchasing the entire kit, you will have to realise that the lens will have to be replaced very soon as it does not perform as well as its counterparts such as Canon 24-105mm for ...

I bought this lens with my new Canon 450D, the difference between buying the camera as a body only, and with the lens was only £50 so I effective paid only this much for this lens. The price for the lens on its own is £145, so buying it with the camera was an incredible bargain. This is a new lens, designed to be the 'kit' lens for Canon's current range of entry level cameras (e.g. 450D). It is an update of the old 'kit' lens supplied with the cheaper Canons since the 300D but has several significant improvements. The lens covers the range 18-55mm which, when fitted to the Canon 450D, which has a 'crop factor' of 1.6, gives a 35mm equivalent focal ... Read the complete review

I recently purchased a sweet Canon 400D/XTi Rebel from Amazon.co.uk (£45 cashback!) and this standard zoom lens (Canon EF-S 18-55mm) came with it. As far as I know, you cannot purchase the Canon EF-S 18-5mm on it's own, as it's designed specifically to be sold with the 400D/XTi Rebel package. I'm sure you can pick up a cheap one on eBay though (probably removed from a kit package, or being sold due to an upgrade from kit package). I've seen the EF-S 18-55mm sell for around £25-£35 at undamaged/rarely used condition on eBay, which is quite cheap! I obviously chose the kit lens package with my 400D/XTi Rebel as it only adds about £40 in the price ... Read the complete review
