| Comments | Canon's original EF-S lens and the first "kit lens" for crop sensor DSLRs. Currently replaced by the IS version (the non-IS lens is no longer in production). See full review HERE. In general the 18-55 kit lenses (and especially the IS version) are reasonable "first" lenses for Digital Rebel DSLRs due to their useful range and very low cost (especially when included in a "kit"). Not the best optics in the world, but still quite useful. |
