Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II Lens for EOS Digital SLR Rebel XT, XTI, 20D & 30D Digital Cameras

Buy Cheap Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II Lens for EOS Digital SLR Rebel XT, XTI, 20D & 30D Digital Cameras From Here Now!

Canon's 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 camera's 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, Canon's 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.

It still includes ALL original accessories (the Canon full Warranty Card, Instruction Manuals and Lens Caps). This lens is all BRAND NEW and has NEVER been used.

 "Exactly what my Son-in-law wanted!" 2010-01-17
By Katherine L. Baker (Las Vegas, NV)
I was very happy to find the lens my son-in-law wanted for Christmas on Amazon. I thought the price was good and the delivery time was well within the day I needed it. The lens arrived within 3 days of my order although I just opted for standard shipping. It was well packed and arrived in excellent condition.

Thank you!

 "Get the new, improved version." 2009-02-26
By Itsmeagain! (Nobamaburg)
The newer Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens is the latest version of this kit lens, and it is a significant improvement over this 'has been' lens. The new version is now the standard kit lens included with many EOS cameras. Best of all, the new one sells for much less than $200 dollars, so I wonder why they still try to sell this inferior lens for such a high price? It doesn't even have the IS (image stabilization) that is included in the new version.



There must be people gullible enough to pay good money for below par products, when better can be found for less; if they would just take a few minutes to do a bit of research before purchasing. I have found several photo review sites that give good reviews to the new lens, but this old version is pretty much trashed in the reviews.



The old lens will have I or II in the name, but not IS; the new (better) lens will have IS in the name, but not I or II.



I do have the 'newest version' (EF 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS) lens and it is an OUTSTANDING lens for such a low price! It is a good walk around lens on my 40D due to its light weight, relatively small size, zoom range, and quick auto-focusing. And I really like the image stabilization!

What can I say. The lens is in good shape and it works... What I expected.

 "Only Someone Who Hasn't/Doesn't Read Reviews Would Buy This Unusably Slow Lens" 2009-01-05
By Ingo
This lens is bad. Not horrible, cuz Canon doesn't make horrible lenses. But considering the other offerings available for the same, less or slightly more money, buying this lens should only become an option if its price point drops to twenty or thirty dollars and then only as a backup. It just isn't worth more money than that.



At 3.5-5.6 it is veeeeeery slow. If you are taking photos indoors, it is unusably slow. Buy the IS version if you need a wide angle zoom. Or for a hundred fifty bucks more than the IS version of this, buy the tamron or sigma f/2.8 wide angle zooms. Much better build qualities than this lens and faster as well.
