    seemly lens
    notable basic lens

    vary useful when it is dark

    the 1.8f works better than it's affluence worth

    the angle width is a bit narrow but it is worth buying one
    Arrant Lil Lens
    Beloved this lens. Yes, it is plastic and I can easily see where it could be easy to break. But it's fast. The 1.8 aperature position means I can easily blur backgrounds and the bokeh is great. (I don't really grief if the bokeh is pentagonal, it still has a nice effect). I give this lens 4 stars more because of the auto pinpoint than because of the plastic body. I just don't think it focuses to suit me, but that's easily rectified by switching to directions mode. It still does a good job, I guess I just expected more based on the reviews I review. Would buy again...a thousand times over.
    Freakin stunning 50mm
    So when I got my XS I infer from that I should skip the kit lens and just get a cheap body and this 50mm. This lens did not disappoint. At first I thought it sucked because I didn't positive how to use it and was using autofocus, for really good stills use that digital zoom button to get shove far away in clear focus, its surprising how much detail you can get in your pictures. Sucks that I can't zoom in or out but I would rather have clear pictures and run around all the hour than be frustrated trying to get a good quality picture with a zoom lens. Lots of population say the construction for this sucks, but what the heck do they expect from a plastic lens? its obviously built to be lighter and not weigh down your camera, besides if you sip your camera you're and idiot, thats why these things have neck straps, but i could see how a kid could grab a hold of it and slam it on the dirt (this wold probably not survive) regardless its a great deal for 100 bucks, its economical because its plastic, manual focus seems loose, autofocus is snappy and makes a really shameless mechanical sound, 1.8 aperture at this price is an insane deal and i really don't trouble oneself with any of the little faults on this lens, it takes great pictures and motivates me to move around and find more dynamic angles for irresistible pictures by forcing me to move around to get closer/further from subjects
    Substantial-Fifty: Lives up to it's name
    What can I say that already hasn't been said about this lens? It's fierce, it's light and contrary to what people say, it doesn't feel like a toy at all. The finish is nice (albeit could be nicer) and the lens itself feels concentrated in your hands. When it's mounted on your camera, you forget that it's a mere $100 lens, and you create pictures that professionals would have charged you a liver and a kidney for.

    This lens is Cyclopean for beginners, and it's perfect in that it will teach beginners the magic of f-stops/aperture settings.

    The lens is incredibly chic and focuses incredibly fast. When light is low, it has a hard time finding what to focus on, but that can be corrected by focusing manually. ;)

    All in all, this lens does above and beyond what you would envision from it. Buy it without hesitation.

    I'll post some pictures in the picture section; take a look for yourself. I consider myself an amateur. :)

    I wanted a new lens
    For my canon insurrrectionist xs
    I looked on amazon.com
    And finally ended my quest
    I found the lens i wanted
    the f stop 1.8
    It preparations 50 millimeters
    It arrived a few days late

    I tore through the box
    I pulled out my lens
    Put on my camera
    and showed all of my friends

    Its embroider well worth the money
    And i very much approve
    The canon EF 50 mm
    Lens to all of you
    But now i have to go
    Reviewing more would be great
    But ive got my awesome lens
    and more warm pics to take!

    I do recommend this lens to those who are serious about photography. But if you have a camera that will take this kind of lens, id say that you probably are. It's a little pricy, but the pictures you'll end up with (as prolonged as you keep at it) will be priceless.

    Extensive lens for price
    Got this to stem elephant seals on central California coast. Very sharp lens. Construction feels congested. Front of lens rotates during focus which means can't use polarizer during action shots. Wish lens was faster, but that would restore b succeed it much more expensive.

    Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens for Canon EOS SLR Cameras from Amazon
    I am enjoying the new telephoto lens. It does a clever job: I love it.
    The Lens is superb and very easy to use
    My Quiet and I purchased the lens to go to Mexico and it worked wonderful. We ended up taking almost 1000 pictures and look foster to taking pictures of my son playing baseball.
    superb upgrade
    This is a active upgrade lens from any kit lens; the optical quality is quite good, and the IS helps. When using the IS, about to keep the shutter half-way pushed for about a second before shooting, which allows the IS to kick in.

    On my 40D, I felt this lens was a bit restrictive due to the crop factor. I picked up a 5D (original version) and the lens came to life. I honestly like the combination and have decided to put off getting a 70-200L for a while. This will do just fine. I just have to take what wide angle zoom to get, now (probably the 17-40L).

    My gripes with this lens are minimal; the lens does give when it zooms; the rotating focus element is not a problem for me. Sometimes I forget to change the lens settings on the lens (wise 1 or 2, AF on or off). It's just something I have to learn.

    Could be more
    I am a dad that likes to take pictures of my kids. I pet that this could be a little better, forgive me that I cannot put to technical terms what I find wrong with this. Just does not profession that great for me. Good quality, well made, but seems lacking in the focus. I hope this makes some sense. Cheery that I bought here for 50% less than Canon sells for.
    This lens has been practised for me
    I purchased this lens at the same hour of buying my Canon T1s.... I by no means am anything but an amateur photographer at this point, and with that said, this lens has been profound for me.... I don't care that it's noisier than the included 18-55 lens, and I've taken some fantastic fully zoomed in pictures with this lens, I have seen no token of unfocused results... If you're a "pro" and you are buying a $150 lens and expecting $800 results, you might demand to revisit your expectations :-)
    Not Acclimated to Yet
    Shelter't had a chance to use the lens yet. Bought for my trip to Hawaii in October.

    Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS SLR Lens
    This seems like an not counting lens. Easy to focus and great pictures. Have not used outside yet, but great for indoors shots.
    Symbol stabilization is great, fragile construction
    This is a wonderful lens that produces stupefying photos without having to use a tripod.

    I just wanted to share this tip - be careful not to move the focus diadem while it is in autofocus mode, it could break. One day I discovered that the lens would not focus anymore. It was binding partly way through the rotation.

    So I took the lens apart. The little gear cog from the motor had a broken tooth.

    What I cultured: the motor can drive the gears forward, but don't override the focus ring with your hand as it can't take the burden of being driven in reverse.

    But at the low price, and excellent image stabilization, it's still a great buy.
    Horrifying Camera for Me
    After months of exploration and wondering if I should make the move from a nice Canon PowerShot to a DSLR, I took the plunge and am absolutely thrilled that I did so.

    I purchased a Canon T1i in August, in hopes of learning to use it by mid-November in time for a trip to Istanbul. I found the Amazon and the dpreview.com reviews hellishly valuable. Amazon reviews because these are real people with their personal experiences, and dpreview because of what seemed to me save technical information and comparisons. Since these reviews have covered a lot of technical material I will talk mostly about the softer side relating my decisions and experience.

    My work takes me to interesting places in the world with potential for inordinate people, culture, and architecture photography. The first big question for me was whether or not a DSLR would make a substantial mark difference over the Power Shot I've enjoyed using for several years. The answer, after 9 days shooting in Istanbul, is that this upgrade was wholly worth it.

    The relative smallish and light physical characteristics of the T1i are perfect for a guy who travels with conclude-on only luggage for weeks at a time (example me). I chose the Canon EFS 17-85 over the kit lens, intending it to be my day-to-day prance around lens. In reading reviews I saw a recurring theme that a Canon 50mm 1.8, for around $100 was a must buy. So I purchased the 50mm.

    I took around 500 images over the nine duration in Istanbul. I took many excellent images at night and in a conference room of a hotel. Here was the big bolt from on the Istanbul trip - I used the 50mm almost exclusively and I never used a flash. This was not intentional or predetermined. In side the lodging the 1.8 lens made since because of limited light. At night walking the streets of Istanbul I made that same selection for the same reason. In the morning when I was not working I'd strike out early...not much light, usually overcast... so for elevate surpass or worse, this camera, and the Canon 50mm 1.8 lens, did an outstanding job for me. While I can't apply technical quantification to the images I took, let me unprejudiced say many of the images from the T1i were tack sharp and simply beautiful. Some were duds but that speaks more about the photographer, in this encase anyway, than the T1i.

    Again after considerable reading and some experience I've chosen the following accessories so far. I have two 16 Gig Transcendent SDHC cards that have served me well. I purchased the Opteka Adept Battery Grip but found the extra weight and size, for my purposes, to be excessive. The two batteries that came with it become great back ups for me. I put lens shades on all lens and use them all the time. I purchased the book "CANON EOS REBGEL T1i/500D" by David Busch. This regulations was an excellent investment and I highly recommend it to help get the most from this camera.

    Perhaps of interest to some readers, if not to the very fine company of Canon, Inc., are set measures I have taken to increase security. I purchased this very fine camera in the hope of taking magic images, not to impress people by carrying around a flashy camera or to promote this outstanding company. I swiftly put black electric tape over the name Canon on the front, top of the camera. I removed the bright Canon neck strap, replacing it with a generic atrocious Targus strap, and removed the lens caps with the Canon name in bold print, replacing them with generic iniquitous lens caps. My "camera bag" is a generic canvas messenger bag with custom foam inserts (get $5 and 35 minutes to cut the foam). While not iron clad, many potential thieves will unquestionably pass me by while looking for the Nikon or Canon logos on cameras carried by "rich westerners."


    A Pure Kit Lens
    There are a legions of good reviews already for this lens, but I would like to write this review from the perspective of someone who got this lens as part of a camera kit. Last year I bought the Canon EOS Insurgent T1i which came with this lens in the package. I have also read a couple photography books (David Busch's T1i Counsellor and Bryan Peterson's Understanding Exposure, both which I highly recommend), and I have done a lot of research on lenses.

    The main two rivals of this lens are:
    1) Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS
    2) Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM

    Both of those lenses are noticeably more expensive than this one. The obvious advantage of the 18-200mm is range. If you don't ever want to switch lenses, you could probably buy this one and render it on your camera. The 18-55mm IS and the 18-200mm IS have similar properties in terms of image quality, and they come with like features. Basically, the 18-200mm is more convenient at a higher price, but you should expect similar doing.

    The 17-55mm, however, is simply a better lens with better glass and near L performance at the cost of an L lens. The 17-55mm has USM, which focuses faster, quieter, and more accurately, and the lens doesn't whirl around when focusing. The 17-55mm has full-time manual focusing (you don't have to switch the AF off in order to adjust the woolly manually), and it has a focal distance scale. These are very useful features for taking storytelling photos and other times when you have need of to set the focus manually. The 17-55mm is faster, having a constant f/2.8, and is much better at compelling portraits and other type of photos that isolate the subject. Also, the 17-55mm has better IS. More than one reviewer of the 17-55mm has said, "force out out your kit lens, and buy the 17-55mm."

    Well, I didn't throw out my kit lens (the 18-55mm IS), but I did think about selling it on eBay and buying the 17-55mm. Why, then, did I keep this lens? Well, the 18-55mm IS has three advantages over the 17-55mm, 1) it's much cheaper, 2) it's much lighter, making it more enjoyable to carry around, 3) it came with my camera, so I had it already. Really, the 18-55 IS is not a bad lens. It can take some excellent pictures. In many situations it can take pictures that are straight as good as those taken with the 17-55mm. Just keep in mind that you will never be able to get much bokeh with this lens, and it doesn't have USM. This lens is very acute and doesn't have many image/color distortion problems. My main gripe with it is the auto pinpoint, which is slow and sometimes jumps around trying to find the focus.

    Just to let you know, instead of replacing this lens with the 17-55mm, I took that gain and instead bought two less expensive but very good lenses:

    1) EF-S 10-22mm USM (really the only lens to buy if you want to take any wide of the mark angle shots)
    2) EF 50mm f/1.4 USM (a great portrait and indoor lens, which, in my opinion, can as a matter of fact take better portrait photos than the 17-55mm; you might also consider the 50mm f/1.8)

    I like my 18-55mm IS lens, and I think about that I will never buy the 17-55mm. The next time I have $1000 to spend on a lens, I will probably buy the 100mm f/2.8L IS USM 1:1 macro lens. One last discuss with not to replace your kit 18-55mm IS lens with the 17-55mm is that if you ever replace your crop dSLR with a full frame dSLR, you won't be masterful to use your $1000 lens on it. If I spend that much on a lens, I would rather buy an L lens, which will last a lifetime.

    The EF-S 18-55mm IS is not the best lens, but it is an exclusive of lens for the money. DON'T THROW AWAY YOUR KIT LENS! Keep it, and compliment it with other focal length lenses. I introduce:

    1) EF 50mm f/1.4 USM or EF 50mm f/1.8
    2) EF-S 10-22mm USM
    3) a telephoto zoom
    4) EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM 1:1 macro
    An OK lens, not a exalted lens
    The AF is delayed compared to Canon USM lens, is slow even compared with Pentax screw-driven lens.
    The essence quality is improved significantly over previous non-IS versions. The image quality is good for its outlay. But don't expect too much, it is nowhere near other higher grade lens from Canon. Even Canon 50/1.8 and 50/2.5 Macro lens fatigued the 18-55/IS easily.

    Not bad zoom
    This is a superb zoom lens- Manual focus is smooth. The only drawback is the zoom- at first it was stiff, but seems to have loosened up through use.
    Serves the view
    This lens serves a no drivel zoom lens for a novice photographer. Although the focusing is slow it takes great outside pictures. My purpose is mainly outdoor photography for which this lens is great. The macro craze takes a while getting used to but I'd rather use this as a zoom lens only.

    Overall great value and a wonderful buy for a novice photographer on a budget.
    Pleasing, Affordable Camera Lens
    Tamron has constructed a wonderful telephoto camera lens for Canon Cameras...! This lens helps in enchanting beautiful snapshots at a closer proximity than a regular standard zoom lens...! In reality a nice zoom lens at an affordable price! Definitely recommend it for those wanting to arrest some incredible wildlife photos...
    Safe len for Canon DSLR
    Well intended, works perfectly with my Canon Rebel XS, good range, big range for focussing the target.
    the bitch maybe that i have is the autofocus is little slow, but for this lens, i better if you use in manually mode to achive the the twin as well you desired.
    if you want a lens not spensive like other, this lens is a good choice.
    i recomended this notice.
    A Prodigious Lens, But Will it Last?
    I'm an second-rate photographer, when i first got the lens i was very happy with it, i mean it was great, long distance, minimal chromatic abberation, but then a month after leverage, it was in my backpack, i asked my friend to pass the bag to me, and it dropped about half a foot, and now the zooming carriage no longer works

    I mean don't get me wrong it's very good, if you beleive that you can take good care of it i would greatly offer it as an entry level telephoto for the amateur photographer to experiment with.

    I'm sure there are better Lenses, but if you're prospering to pay much more money.

    Pros: Cheap, Effective, Very good outdoors, Very Sharp at f/8.0, can't be rout for the price
    Cons: Bad indoors, no Image Stabilization so it's not very stable under a shutter speed of 1/30, not very sensible shock resistant

    Ultimately i would suggest this lens. Get it, it's cheap, if you want to spend 500 dollars though, get the 70-300mm Canon IS USM lens, it's happier, but 5 times the price.
