- Effective image stabilization
- Smooth zoom action and precise manual focus
Cons
- Small maximum aperture

The lens is heavier than other kit lenses, but the build quality is decent with smooth zoom action and precise manual focus. The autofocus is fast and accurate, especially in Live View mode. In terms of image quality, it performs well on a full-frame camera, but the corners are not particularly sharp. On an APS-C camera, the image quality is not inspiring. Vignetting and distortion are noticeable, especially at wider focal lengths. The lens also struggles to produce very out-of-focus backgrounds. In comparison to the older f/4 L equivalent, the L lens is sharper, has better bokeh, and improved weather sealing. If using an APS-C camera, the Canon eighteen to hundred and thirty-five millimeter STM lens may be a better option.
