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

Review 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.

 "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-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS) lens and it is an OUTSTANDING lens for the 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!

 "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.

 "Opteka HD² 0.20X Professional Super AF Fisheye Lens for Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT, XTi, XS, XSi..." 2010-02-23
By J. DEMELO (Boston, MA)
Just received this conversion lens. Like other reviews have said, you get what you pay for. But in this case, this isn't such a bad thing. If you want to have some fun experimenting with a wide angle, fisheye lens before purchasing a 600 to 900 dollar professional option, it's definitely worth it. Fisheye pictures are a bit of a novelty, and the whole fun factor might wear out over time. All the more reason to go with an inexpensive option.



1. I'm not entirely sure why this would matter but the lens is in fact made in China, not Japan. With that being said, I received a solid, well made lens and the glass is crystal clear. I was impressed with the construction. The rubber grips work nicely, and the threads allow the lens to effortlessly and smoothly screw into your lens. It also comes with two adapter rings which allow it to fit anthing from 52 to 58mm. It fits my Canon 18 - 55mm kit lens with the largest of the two adapters. Without either of the two adapters, it fits nicely into my Canon prime f/1.8 50mm lens. It also comes with a mostly worthless cleaning cloth and a small, felt-like pouch to store the lens in when not in use. The pouch was a nice touch.



2. The lens is fairly heavy. While this might feel good when you hold it, I kind of wonder if the weight might affect the "gears" inside my kit lens while the camera is auto-focusing. I can't help but feel like it might add significant strain. Doesn't seem to be an issue so far, but may be worth mentioning. The weight does seem to slow down the auto-focus on my 18-55mm kit lens just slightly... though not enough to really be concerned. I suppose I'll have to see any effects from long term use, but I imagine my Canon lenses are built well enough to handle the extra weight.



3. Nowhere on the lens or box does it say Canon, or for Canon, or XS, XT, XSi, 30D, etc...

With that being said, this lens should fit any camera as long as the lens is between 50mm to 58mm. It should also fit video cameras. It's just a general SLR conversion lens that should fit most lenses with the help of the adapter rings.



4. I don't really understand all of the fuss about the HD aspect of it. If you hold the lens to your eye and look through it like a looking glass, it is remarkably bright and clear and indeed "HD". Otherwise, on the camera it looks just fine. Nothing to rave about.



5. As previous reviews mentioned, when zoomed all the way out you get the full "round" fisheye look. You can see the edge of the lens, but it's a nice effect and fun to use. Zoom in a bit and you get a nice wide angle shot. The edges do appear to fuzz a bit, but I don't see this as a huge issue since it is an inexpensive lens, after all.



All in all, I really look forward to using it more. No regrets with the purchase. Photography is an expensive hobby, and I'm happy there are inexpensive options out there for people who are just looking to try out some different shots.

 "Fun but not Quality" 2010-01-18
By Neal Fassnacht (nealf)
I just got this for christmas and it is fun to play around with but I was disappointed with how much it affected the quality of the images. It's a cool toy and definitely cheaper than buying a real fish-eye - but you get what pay for and in this case you don't get a sharp image. I would recommend it to someone who just wants to take some shots for fun and isn't worried about having prints made.

 "Great value, great photos, fun shooting!" 2010-01-05
By Justin Ryan (Grayslake, IL USA)
I shivered when I saw the prices of fisheye lenses for my Canon XSi until I came across a few of these kind of lenses which instead of integrating into the camera itself, they screw onto the end of the existing lens. This affordable lens takes fantastic wide-angle photos, however there is a pretty extreme barreling effect which I expected after using a 35mm Fisheye by Lomo. I am amazed at the clarity of the photos I have obtained. I was expecting more distortion, chromatic aberration, etc. but this does not seem to be the case with this lens.

Does this compare to a $600 180 degree lens? Probably not. But for someone who isn't using such a lens professionally, this is the perfect starter to get you a taste of what the wide angle can produce.



My ONLY complaint is that the lens cap that came with does not fit with the adapter ring, and so the ring must be removed each time I put the lens away in it's little bag. Nothing serious.



Final thoughts: It's fun, it's cheap, and it produces high quality photos! What more can you ask for?

I give it 2 stars because the price is about right. If you want to do real nice wide angle shots, you may want to spend more cash and get the right gear. But if you just want to shoot around and you are beginning, then it's ok.

 "Decent results considering the price." 2009-12-05
By H. S. Pope (Richmond, VA)
I purchased this lens attachment in lieu of purchasing a brand-name wide angle lens. I wasn't expecting much, since it was only $10. That said, I was pleasantly surprised by the results.



I tested this attachment with my Canon EOS XSi and an EF-S 18-55mm lens, fully closed to 18mm. I shot images with and without the wide angle attachment, and noted a clear difference between the width of the target area. I viewed the images side by side on my large monitor (32" LCD HDTV) and did not see a significant loss of image quality. There was slight loss of sharpness, but not much.



Using the macro attachment with the same lens, I noticed a clear difference in the minimum focal distance of the lens, but I did not notice any loss of picture quality. The close up image was very sharp when viewed on the computer screen.



In both cases, autofocus did not work properly, so I had to use manual focus to achieve the best pictures. When holding the shutter button down halfway, the green focus indicator within the view finder worked properly though, and helped me get the best focus.



There are clearly higher quality lenses that serve this purpose, but this lens (wide angle and macro) is definitely something I will carry in my bag until I can purchase those more expensive lenses. It is definitely worth the $10, if you need something now.



NOTE: I also added pictures showing my test results. Follow the "See all # customer images" link below the main product picture to see my examples.

 "At this price I expected MUCH more" 2010-01-14
By Rikkyloo (Portland, OR USA)
The problem with this camera is the pictures! And after all is said and done what else do you really care about? I bought this camera for my wife who is an avid amateur family photographer. She wanted something which would take a great quality photo of the things going on around her. There are plenty of super-portable, feature loaded minis to choose from these days. Any one of them can take a decent snap shot. From there, this camera is a big step up in price and a big step down in portability. The promise is that with all it's quality craftsmanship and high tech features you will get real bang for your buck in picture quality. Sorry folks, it just is not the case. Set to full automatic - where all the bells and whistles should really show their stuff - this camera regularly overexposes ordinary daylight photos. It routinely washes out indoor shots with its own flash. And the auto focus is nothing to brag about. My wife is not a photographer. She is an ordinary person who wanted to have fun taking really good family photos. This camera was a huge let down.

As it goes with cameras, it's usualy more about the photographer than the camera. This camera is fantastic for it's price range, and it can perform with much more expensive cameras in many instances with a small amount of know-how. When it comes to dslr cameras you can't go wrong with a canon. It's a pity though that this model has no hard drive, so it's not possible to take video clips...which would've been nice

This camera is easy to use, I bought this so I could take pictures of my Grandchildren. One is a brand new Granddaughter and catching her smile with my point and shoot just did not work as well as my 35mm Konica SLR. With film processing becoming very difficult to find in my area, I decided to go with a digital SLR. The first 2 weekends I had this camera I shot over 200 pictures. It was nice to be able to shoot with a SLR again. I would recomend this to anyone who used a 35mm SLR and wants to go digital

 "Perfect for the amateur" 2009-10-14
By Candace Beauchamp (Austin, TX)
A couple of years ago, I decided to step up from point and shoot cameras and looked into taking a photography class and getting a "real" camera. This is the camera I purchased. Absolutely adore it. I've taken more pictures in the past 2 years than I ever have.



The auto modes are fantastic (I realize this is an older model, one day perhaps I can upgrade), but even more important - it's easy to switch to manual as well. This is a great camera to learn on it and I've managed to take some really great photographs with it.



I'm no professional. I don't want to be a professional. I just like to tinker. This intro priced camera does all of that and more. I won't get into the technical side of it, enough Amazon reviewers have done that and you can certainly read the product description, but if you are looking to get into photography and need a starter camera, this is the one I would recommend.



If I had to do it all over again, I would probably choose to not get the kit lens and purchase one locally where I can play with it. I quickly replaced the kit lens with a Tamaron I fell in love with. But lenses are always such a personal thing to me.

Buy Cheap Sigma 18-50mm f/3.5-5.6 DC AF Wide Angle Zoom Lens for Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT, XTi, XS, XSi, T1i, 7D, 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, & 50D Digital SLR Cameras From Here Now!

The 18-50mm f/3.5-5.6 DC lens was exclusively designed to suit the characteristics of digital SLR cameras. Ideal as a standard starter zoom lens, this lens provides an equivalent range of approx. 28-80mm when used with a Canon digital SLR camera (*). The use of aspherical lenses provides correction for various aberrations throughout the entire zoom range and produce a high level of optical performance.



DC lenses are exclusively designed for digital SLR cameras. The image circle (rear of lens) is made to match the smaller dimensions used for the image sensor on digital cameras. As a result these lenses are also more compact and lightweight, and are better matched to digital SLR cameras.

 "Nice lens for the price" 2010-02-02
By Zachary A. Crosby
I got this lens for my new Canon 7D, as somewhat of a filler lens till I got another one, but for being less than $100 it worked like a charm, even shot a video on it, vignettes on the 50mm side, but what can you ask for for such a cheap lens

 "Well worth the cost" 2010-01-21
By J. Rzeczycki (East Tennessee)
For under $100 you will not find a better lens than this. Equal to about 29mm on a Canon crop body dSLR, it is a wide angle lens. This is a very under rated lens in my opinion FOR THIS PRICE. Built well and very sharp at F8.

 "Wide Angle: it is not!" 2010-01-08
By S. Cho (LA)
Bought it thinking it would be great wide angle lens, it was not much better than my Canon 18-55mm lens that came with my T1i. If your looking to replace 18-55mm lens, then I would buy this one because the price is unbeatable. As far as construction, I have to give it to Sigma. The feel and weight distribution slightly better than the Canon lens.



In addition, it came with a hood. really nice add-on. If your looking to replace your 55mm lens, this is the one. If you want an extra good lens, this is the one. If you want Wide Angle Shots, not the one.



Overall, I am keeping this lens, just in case, my orginal breaks down.

 "Good quailty at low cost" 2009-12-30
By Philip L. Langford (Motor City)
This is the best under 100.00 lens I've purchased. I clicked off a few practice shots with my 40D before wrapping it as a gift for my son. We went out to shoot some cityscapes and the lens performed well. The focus speed is on par with the 10D capabilities. If you need a wide angle zoom and can find this lens...buy it.

I would love to review this product but am still waiting on the shipment of my order. I have been waiting since 31 January 10. It would have been nice to hear if it was a back order item or maybe the pony express horse was sick or whatever. Don't buy from this company if you need it quick!

 "An OK filter for protection" 2010-02-07
By Ping Lin (STATE COLLEGE, PA, US)
The quality of the filter wasn't so good. I can even see a small scratch on the UV filter through my eye. But with the low price, what can you expect? At least it help protect my investment of the more pricey lens, and it doesn't seen to effect the quality of the picture.

 "Great for the price!!!!!!!!!!!" 2010-01-20
By Lyza J. Ward (Santa Ana CA USA)
If I were a professional, I could maybe justify paying a lot more for filters. But I am not. I like to take pictures as a hobby. These are great for photographers like me. They come individually wrapped with a cool little leather storage case and seem to be really well made. I take really good care of my things so I see no reason why these shouldn't last for a long time.

 "Not bad for the price." 2010-01-15
By S. Metzger
I'm fairly new to photography, so I bought these just to try out some filters. They're ok. The threading on the UV filter on mine wasn't the greatest. It stays on, but it doesn't tighten, so it's kind of annoying when I try to focus on my subject because the filter keeps moving around. All-in-all they aren't bad if you just want to try something out. I didn't have any problems with the image quality of my photos.
