| Comments | An early IS lens from Canon. Very useful wide-telephoto zoom range on full frame. Often sold as a "kit lens" with crop sensor bodies such as the EOS 40D and 50D. Not quite so useful on crop sensor DSLRs since it becomes a normal to telphoto zoom rather than a wideangle to telephoto, but the "kit" price is often heavily discounted so it can still be a good purchase. |
