Canon EF S 18 55mm 3 5 5 6 II
While Canon produces many fantastic lenses, they do offer a lower-quality line at a much cheaper price. Mind you, Canon does this to broaded their market-share and to potentially create loyal customers from this group.
I have been looking for a simple small lens to attach to my camera when I am not doing work for money. I read about the size and weight of this lens and was pleased by the many good ratings, so I decided to get it. I was not disappointed. After a month now, the lens performs as it was stated, smooth zooming, the USM is heard, but it's nothing bad, and the IS works flawlessly.
I have had no problems whatsoever mounting or dismounting the lens from my EOS 30D body, which stores beautifully amongst my other gear due to its small size. My professional lenses are twice the size and not having to carry the extra weight is a godsend.
I do wish the lens was made from more robust plastics, but if they did, the lens' price would be higher. I will merely try to baby the lens every step of the way so it will last the longest possible. All in all, this lens is worth the money you spend on it, which is why I rated 5 stars.
I bought a Bower .042x with 46mm thread for a 58mm lens for my Cannon EOS 550D, but I don't know how to put it onto my lens. The lens on my camera: Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II SLR Lens
BalasHapusI recently got two lens. Canon EF-S 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 and Canon EF-S 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 II. What's the difference? Are they both equal?
BalasHapusI have been asked to shoot a 5K race. I asked this a couple of months ago but I've added some equipment. I have a Canon 60D with Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II, Canon EF 75-300 III F4-5.6, Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS, Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II, and Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM lenses. What kinds of shots would you guys suggest with these lenses. Thanks!
BalasHapusI am absolutely brand new to quality photography and I don't really know what I should be looking for. I've found some very reasonable Canon XS and XSi's with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II lens, and I'm not sure if this will work for what I'm looking for. I want to take some photos of sports players in action and I've found the XSi has a 3.5 fps burst with up to 6 RAW or 54 JPEG images in a row. Will this camera with this lens be alright for amateur baseball and football games in outdoor lighting? Any advice is helpful. P.S. I am looking for a camera good for sports photography that if I shopped could find for about $200-400 used on craigslist or ebay. If you have any better suggestions. Thanks
