How to 18 55mm Canon EF Telephoto Lens work.

How to 18 55mm Canon EF Telephoto Lens work.

• This is the third version of Canon EF Telephoto 18-55mm lens camera kit lens. The first two editions of the ef telephoto lens were regularly derided on the internet for poor sharpness at the corners, chromatic aberrations, and general naff build quality.
• I can't confirm any of that, because I haven't used the older versions, although the samples I have seen were unimpressive. You can find these lenses going cheaply on eBay, because no-one wants them.
• In contrast, the Canon EF Telephoto 18-55mm lens IS has exceeded expectations, and has received good reviews, notably from Digital Photography Review and Photozone.de. They go into a lot of detail about the image sharpness and so forth, I will not try to duplicate their work.
• I've had mine for a week or so now, and I've tested it and used it generally out and about. I like it, with some reservations.
  
• It's smaller and less conspicuous than my Sigma 18-125mm. It has far less distortion than my Canon 24-85mm.
• It's more versatile than my old Super Takumar f1.4, although in most other respects the Takumar squashes it like a bug, not least because it is made of metal.
• The Canon EF Telephoto 18-55mm lens big drawback is its physical design. It's has a nice rubber zoom ring, and it feels tougher than my Canon 50mm f1.8.
• However, the front part of the Canon EF Telephoto 18-55mm lens, with the manual zoom ring, wobbles a bit.
  
• As the reviews have pointed out, the front of the lens rotates as it focusses (and moves back and forth a surprising amount), which makes it a bother to use polarising filters.
  
• It's a shame Canon didn't enlarge the body slightly, and completely enclose the front of the Canon EF Telephoto 18-55mm lens.
