Canon EF-S 18-55 mm Makes Users Happy Even Without Certain Features
Canon EF-S 18-55 mm is primarily made of plastic. In fact, its entire exterior is made of this aforementioned material, only except for a certain side of the lens that is made of glass. Since plastic makes up the majority of this lens, it can be assumed that this particular digital photography product will be lightweight.
Just like everything else, Canon EF-S 18-55 mm also has a set of disadvantages. First of all, the tiny focusing ring that allows photographers to manually control the lens is not as functional as it should be. Moreover, this focusing ring can only be accessed whenever the lens is stretched to its maximum length.
Another disadvantage of Canon EF-S 18-55 mm is that it does not have a USM focusing motor. Without this particular feature, photographers will find it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to manually focus their lenses for a long time.
Still, even if Canon EF-S 18-55 has no built-in USM, the focusing feature associated with this particular is still not as slow as others might think it is. It is not very loud either. This only proves that even if Canon EF-S 18-55 mm does not come with the features that other digital camera lenses have, it is still able to deliver fabulous and very beautiful images for results. Photographers might not be breaking any picture-taking records, but that does not mean that the quality of the pictures being taken is any less.
A feature that Canon EF-S 18-55 mm has that others do not, however, is barrel distortion. This particular feature can be accessed by the photographers by the wider end of the lens's range of focal length, which is usually amounted to approximately twenty-eight mm.
The noticeable light that falls off with a wide aperture is another thing that photographers love about this lens. As it comes with both narrow and wide apertures, the picture takers can simply choose which one they are interested in working with.
This only proves that Canon EF-S 18-55 mm is still able to deliver what the photographers want. Even if it does not have some features, it still has its own set of features that is also capable for helping it in coming up with the desired image results.
