how many type of EF-S 18-55mm
I confused. How many type of EF-S 18-55mm in the market
According to Canon web, it shown EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II USM But from the buy-sell forum, there is another EF-S 18-55mm Kit so, there are 3 types? what is the kits lens (EF-S 18-55mm) ? IS or USM or none of them? |

Re: how many type of EF-S 18-55mm
MKII = Mark II, the newer version 400D kit lens is EF-S 18-55mm MKII, without IS, without USM. I think dolby is very mistaken... There is more then two.

Re: how many type of EF-S 18-55mm
Oh yeah, just to add: the IS version is the optically better version =)

Re: how many type of EF-S 18-55mm
Been using the 18-55 IS version. Not bad for such a cheap lens. Pretty sharp, nice colour and good flare control.
Value for money.   Last edited by weekh; 20th May 2008 at 09:52 PM. |

Re: how many type of EF-S 18-55mm
Shawnlim is right. There are quite a few variants of the EF-S 18-55mm kit lens. The notable ones are the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II (has been the kit lens for awhile, included with 350D, 400D, 20D and 30D kits) and the EF-S 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 IS (the current kit lens, and I daresay the best performing one to date). Here's a sample of the optical performance of the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS. No sharpening. Just B&W conversion and levels.  |

Re: how many type of EF-S 18-55mm
3 officially made it to Singapore - all except the USM so here goes (with the cameras for which they were kit lenses) EFS 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 (300D, 20D, I think 350D too) EFS 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 MKII (400D, 30D) EFS 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 IS (40D, 450D) I had the first one - not too good esp wide open. OK at F8-11. I now have the IS model - much much better but not quite the quality of my17-40L but close to the 10-22 in sharpness. |
