Thanks Bryan.. Nice review. At least, now, I know I can skip this lens when comparing lenses for my 'for-me-from-me" New Year present.. Smile

Thank you for the review.

Perhaps say that the lens is soft at @135 and perhaps f/8 is the only marginally acceptable aperture?

Perhaps be more critical and say this lens is crap and should be avoided?

Nice review. Not a lens that's going on my list. Still, kit lenses have their uses. When I bought my first dSLR, a Rebel XT with the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II kit lens (not knowing any better), I spent a summer holiday in Canada shooting with that low-grade lens. Sure, I can now see many lens related imperfections in those results, but some of those pictures remain my favorites.

As a friend once said, the difference between no camera and a low-grade one is infinitely larger than between a low-grade one and a high-quality one...

Perhaps the most fundamental rule of photography!
