Good for starters.

 

I use a 60D most of the time, but needed an extra camera while doing a wedding video, so I got a T2i with the 18-55 kit lens. This lens has a good overall zoom range, and it's good for somebody who only wants one lens, and doesn't want to spend much...

The power that gives you the lense's range in great. Images are not that great. Seen lot of color aberration, not sharp as wanted images.

It's just Swell

 

This is a great lens for outdoor photography. Pair it up with one of the the 70mm-200mm L models and a 50mm 1.4 and you can get most anything done you want. It is not the greatest for indoor stuff like school functions etc but then it likely wasn't...

super neato

Best lens

 

This lens has very good zoom lite and each kind of zoom in it is very good. 18 is very good WIDE and 200 is very good TELLE.

Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, super zoom lite, unexpensive

Love the lens, hate the creep

 

This is a great walkaround lens. It takes suitably clear and sharp photos and can go from sem-wide angle to a good zoom quickly with quick focus. So I like the lens. What I don't like is the lens creep. I've put up with it because I don't have the...

Fast auto-focus, versatility to the max

Poor build quality, lens creep

An Average Lens, Barely, Barely Acceptable

 

I purchased this lens to use with my 50D. I wanted a lens that had a good zoom range, which this lens has. However, the lens has issues which doesn't make it a good buy for the price Canon is asking.

none

Slow auto-focus, Poor build quality, auto focus mechanism jerky, not sharp, Poor Color Reproduction

Great lens and value

 

I find this lens to be a great value. It produces sharp images, focuses well and has the basic features of image stabilization and AF switches on the lens.

Super-sharp images, good value

Very convenient lens

 

I bought this lens after having been to Mt. Rainier and been frustrated by having to switch back and forth constantly between the two kit lenses (18-55 and 55-250). It might be a little less sharp than those two lenses, but it's good and convenient....

convenient, takes good pictures

Fast auto-focus, Super-sharp images, works well in dim light

as good as an L lens

 

i have a t4i, and the 135L, and this 15-85. this 15-85 is as good as the 135L on my crop camera. i would assume that if i put the 135L on a 5d, it would outperform the 15-85, but on a crop, they're the same. the IS is very good, but takes a lmost a...

Fast auto-focus, Super-sharp images
