Compact, lightweight and a wide magnification range - this standard zoom lens features a wide focal length range from normal to telephoto equivalent to 29-320mm in the 35mm format. It features an Optical Image Stabilizer for up to 4-stops of effective correction even at full zoom. Since Canon's optical image stabilization system is in the lens, not in the camera, you can see the stabilized, steadier images through the viewfinder. And the circular aperture can give beautiful background blur effects. This wide zoom ratio EF-S lens delivers excellent high-speed performance at an affordable price.

Canon EF-S zoom lens - 18 mm - 200 mm is rated4.08 out of5 by25.
Rated 5 out of 5 byCanon User since 1997 from Good Lens Overall, Quality ProblemsGood travel lens, no problems with image quality. Quite heavy. This lens has a creeping problem. Plastic zoom lock, (intended to lock the lens to prevent creeping) got broken very soon, causing lens locked and not operable.

Rated 5 out of 5 byBigJon46 from EF-S 18 - 200I have had this lend since it was first introduced. I rarely use any other. I only have to carry one lens. True the lens creep can be aggravating, but the lock is there for a reason and has never failed. My only complaint is that Canon, instead of improving on this lens, stopped making it. Now you have to buy 2 and carry 2... I would love to see Canon make an 18 - 300 lens.

Rated 5 out of 5 byrebel xsi shooter from decent all-in-one, when it's workingi use this as my standard lens because it works well in just about any situation but the lens has locked up on me twice and had to be repaired.

Rated 5 out of 5 byM.J. from Great PerchaseThis lens has become my favorite to use. I use it for a bit of everything from landscape to weddings and everything in between. though I dislike the fact that the lens will not stay at the zoom I am at if I tip the camera forward even slightly.

Rated 5 out of 5 byBri from great lensBought this lens because I got sick of kit lenses. Images are sharp and clear throught the range. Took pics of fireworks from a half mile away and they were outstanding in clarity and quality. I really like the lens lock feature as it does not allow the lense to move when not in use and it takes only a second to unlock it and focus. I put a UV filter on it and I'm stunned by the images I get now.

Rated 5 out of 5 bysuv from 200mm is NOT 200mmI can live with all other shortcomings of the lens (distortion, vignetting, lack of sharpness etc) for the sake of the huge 18-200mm zooming range. But, I did some testing, and found that the zooming range is not a true 18-200mm. For example, I set the lens at 200mm, and took pictures focusing at a series of distances (4 ft, 5 ft, 10 ft, 20ft).When focusing 4 ft away, the 200mm focal length was found to be actually only 110mm. Similarly, the 200mm is actually 115mm (at 5 ft), 136mm (at 10 ft) and 159mm (at 20 ft). Sorry for the disappointment if you think you have a 200mm lens,Also, the zoom range is not 11x as it is commonly called. Just shot an object at 4 ft away with your lens set at 18mm and 200mm, and compare the two sizes. You will find the size ratio is only about 7x, NOT 11x.People who are reading this, you don't have to believe me; just do it yourself, or compare the lens with any other lens (for example Canon 55-250mm).

Rated 5 out of 5 bySenior from A MUST HAVE FOR YOUR BAGThis lens is by far the most veristal lens your could buy. At 18mm focal range it is amazing how wide the field of view is. The zoom at 200 is well worth the extra money compared to the 28-135. This is a must have for every body that needs a wide range without the headache of switching lenses back and forth. This one is an A++++++.

Rated 5 out of 5 byD314 from Very convenient lensI 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. The 18-200 lens is the one that will be on my camera 90 percent of the time.
