Cons: After 4 years use the cable between aperture and camera house broke. Repair by Canon expensive. Managed to change it my self for 28 USD and 3 hours work following instructions on the internet. Distortion at wide end.
Pros: Very versatile for every day and travel use. Good picture quality and image stabilisation. Loved it till the cable broke and it gave me an error 99 while I was on holiday.
Summary: Now it works again.

Cons: A small apature of f4/5.6. Does not mount on a full frame body such as the canon 5d mark ii and other proffesional dslr's as its is a ef-s lens.
Pros: very good quality. much better than canons standard 18-55mm. Big 5x zoom from 17-85mm. Inbuilt is (image stablisation)
Summary: This is a great lens which is light weight and better than the kit lens and has got me using it a lot.
