Great Product5
This product is excellent as an everyday lens for someone wanting to explore the world of digital photography. Its easy to use and provides some insurance and protection for those shots that you may have programmed incorrectly. It enhances what you see and shoot, and instills confidence in your ability to produce acceptable pictures. Recommended for anyone serious about improving their skills with digital photography.

beautiful lens at a great price5
My first lens was the 50mm F/1.8 and if you have this one then you know at first I would be disappointed with the Canon 18-55mm (and if you don't have the 50mm f/1.8 -go buy that one first!). With that said, I have to say THIS is a beautiful lens at a great price -in fact, I don't think you can beat it. One suggestion, and this came from buying my first flash around the same time...this lens loves light. Give it good light and it will give you amazing shots. Anyone who complains about this lens is simply not doing something right. Use an flash (maybe a sunpak 383 or a vivitar (newer one) and a flash diffuser like a lumiquest 80/20) and you'll be amazed. In fact, this one stays on my camera now more than the 50mm! You can check out some pics on my flickr site taken with this lens as well as the 50mm http://www.flickr.com/photos/9128230@N02/

Definately worth the money5
This lens has excellent image quality, sharpness and colors. The build quality is not top notch but for this price who cares?
