Old & New -- Canon T2i & 18-55mm IS kit lens at f9.
The original kit lens that came with the Digital Rebel 300D was a dog. Very bad lens. Version II of the non-IS kit lens improved markedly. This IS version that came with my T2i is an excellent performer. I would rate it as good as the Panasonic G1 kit lens, and the IS is just as effective. It's a bargain for $100.
Great Shot, mine will be here tomorrow, can't wait.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying mine. The movie mode is fun and quality is excellent. You will like it.
ReplyDeletehi, just wondering how would u rate this kit lens against the quantaray 19-35 that you posted about earlier?
ReplyDelete@Jingyi,
ReplyDeleteI haven't used either lens extensively to give them a fair assessment, but I can say that the obvious advantage of the 19-35mm lens is 2/3 of a stop faster than the kit lens. The 19-35mm is probably a bit sharper as well. There is a lot more glass on it than the kit lens -- 77mm front element vs 58mm, though not the measurement of quality, but it's a lot better built.
Thank you so much for your reply :) There's one on ebay right now for about $50 just wondering if it would be worth it to try :)
