Though so many regard it as a paper weight, I have used it on our travels and have been very happy with it. Of course, I would love expensive glass, but that's life (perhaps one day).:) If your'd like to check out some large sized shots -http://www.pbase.com/c/sao_miguel_azores

Only use this lens if you absolutely cannot afford to buy any of the better Canon lenses.

Most kit lenses are useable as paper weights and not much else. The 18-55mm is a nice exception to that trend. I recently bought a 20D to go along with my film body and got this lens because the 1.6x crop on the 20D robbed me of my nice wideangle lenses (though I've got much better telephoto now). For the price, it does a nice job with the sharpness. The color isn't the best, but with digital we can always tweak that later on. If you can afford the 17-40mm f/4L or 17-85mm EF-S, certainly buy those instead. If your budget is tighter, this is the best way to get a wideangle lens on a 20D or Digital Rebel. The Bob Atkins website has a great technical review of this lens as well.
