- I review the "expensive" kit lens for Canon DSLR's. Is this any good? Or is it worth the money at least?

The STM technology is really amazing and useful for "run and gun" videographers. I just wish they would make an L-series lens with the STM motor so I can have better or constant aperture and some weatherproofing.
I have this lens and it takes awesome pictures. It's sharp and good contrast. The focus is pretty fast and silent and build quality is good. I got it for about 300 US dollars so at least I didn't pay 500.
Yes I have one too, its a good lens & only paid around $350 for it
The guy doing the review is a bit of a drip if you ask me
For a $350 lens its a fantastic all around lens but for $500 its pretty average.
Isn't it easier to say "milimeters"?
Thanks for your prompt reply i have just been watching your upload on the 24-105 f4 lens and should have mentioned i am looking at the more 'budget' end! Just seen that the 24-105 is available as stm though it is a variable f stop range, d'oh. I really like your videos, lots of interesting and useful content keep up the good work.
Thanks! :)
Great review!!!
I’m getting the 90 d and this lens in a month
I'm buying 70D , but I don't know which kit lens are better, I mean between 18-135 and 18- 200 ,which lens you actually recommend?
Hi ! Your video is really interesting because it illustrates the problems I noticed with his kit, mainly the zoom. I have the EOS 700D Canon camera with this zoom EFS 18-135 mm. I never managed to record a great video because it indeed gives an awful barrel effect. Lens correction is not available on EOS utility for this zoom. What do you suggest as lens for this camera ? I need something to record my face and more often my full body with a guitar in a studio. Available distance from the camera to the body is about 7 ft. Many thanks if you can help me !
Hi i am a hobbyist photographer with a recent keen interest in video and am looking to buy a 70d. Your comment re the image getting darker when zooming during videoing is surely true for all dslr zoom lenses not just the 18-135mm one?
The phenomenon is called a variable aperture zoom. When you see a zoom lens with a range of numbers for the maximum aperture values, it means it's a variable zoom. (eg EF-S 18-135mm "F3.5-5.6")
A zoom lens with a constant aperture across the zoom range will have only one value, the maximum aperture value in the lens name. (eg EF 24-105mm "F4"L)
Great advice as usual...What would be your recommendation for a comparable lens at that that price? Thanks and keep up the good work!
I'd recommend a Sigma 17-70 F2.8-F4 instead, or a Sigma 17-50 F2.8. Those lenses can give you far better value for the price :)
For canon, unless you're looking at primes, the good zooms always cost a crazy bunch of money...
Which lens are better for canon kit lens.?.. sigma 17 50mm., tamron 17 50 or canon 18 135.suggest me in theses three lens. I want to sharp image
Can I use it with canon full frame camera
Hi, good review! I have a question.. Im going to follow photography lessons at the end of this year and i am going to buy the Canon 70D aswell, but im not sure which lens i should buy with it.. which lens do you recommend for all-round photography?
Sean Patrick Kwik The Sigma 17-50 F2.8 is a great lens to start on.
Hey, Good Review. I am a film student and I own a 70D camera but I need a decent Lens. I've already used the 18-135mm lens (from the college I'm studying at) should I buy my own 18-135mm lens or something else?
Daniel Wheatley This is a fairly versatile lens for video, but it is certainly not the best. The variable max aperture + focus by wire can be drawbacks for video shooting. Look into lenses like the 24-105 F4L or the Sigma 18-35 Art.
ZY Productions Thank you, I'll look into them. :)
Daniel Wheatley the STM IS is great for video and that is kind of neglected in this review.
Will this lens work on de 250D - Sl3 ?
你好。请问在自动模式的情况下。我用手转动了镜头。对镜头也损害吗？谢谢。
I just bought a 70D, can you plis recommend a prime lens for portraits.
I'm also planning to do lots of landscape photos, what lens should I look into?
For portraits, I recommend the Canon 85mm F1.8 USM. The Sigma 50mm F1.4 Art is worth taking a look at too.
For landscapes, Tokina 11-16 F2.8.
Thank you for the info... I'll check them out :)
can i use this lens for birding or wildlife
yes..
Murugan Ashvin yess
what do you think about tamron 18-270mm??? is it good lens?? advice me'',
i used to love the idea of it, but its crapy plastic and that would be ok if the lens was great. To me its fuzzy! not sharp like you'd like. At certain ranges theres like shadowing/darkens at the corners and or barrel distortion. Now lately the zoom rings are stiff and not smooth anymore. Why canon! why!! A better choice would be the 18-85 but its so expensive and my feeling is that it sucks too maybe a tad better than this. STM is nice and quiet tho..
