Cons: Plastic build quality. Not really wide, not really long. Fits inside the zoom range of better Canon lenses. Slow. No in camera correction from Canon. Bokeh past 5.6 isn\'t great.
Pros: Cheap. A little extra reach on crop bodies makes this a nice outdoor or studio portrait lens. Very, very light, and quite small. Minimal zoom range = minimal distortion. Better image quality than expected. Reasonably sharp wide open. very sharp by F/8.
Summary: An undervalued and forgotten part of the Canon line up. It\'s a hard lens to dislike, and is often in the smaller camera bag as an option when a prime is fitted just for a bit of versatility. The weight of it is so minimal that it really can go anywhere. Even though the lens is slow, it is reasonably sharp. Stop it down just one stop and it will surprise you with its IQ. Bokeh is decent wide open, but not good past 5.6 - lack of aperture blades being the primary cause. Expect \"nuts and bolts\" bokeh from there. If you chance upon one, and you need any part of the focal range, pick it up and play with it.
