from Craigslist Summary: This lens came with my kit when I bought my Rebel XT online, so I don't have the 18-55 to compare it to. However, I've seen some fairly good performance from this lens in terms of sharpness and CA control. It's nice and compact, although the inner barrel extends forward in a very awkward way at both the wide and zoom ends. The AF is also a major weakness. However, it's a good value and a highly usable range, so it's well suited for a beginner who's just starting with SLRs. Strengths: It's a decent value, and a fine substitute for the kit lens if you want a little more range on the long end. It's also only about 2 pixels from perfect sharpness - consider that most high-end L glass is 0.8 - 1.5 pixels off. Weaknesses: AF is slow and inaccurate, tends to hunt, and is completely useless and night. Inner barrel feels very loose. Flaring is a major problem as well.
