Relatively inexpensive "station wagon" for Canon systems with EF-S mounts and APS-C type matrices. The low cost is due, in particular, to the classic motor for the role of the autofocus drive, as well as the 6-blade aperture. On the other hand, the lens has a very wide range of focal lengths — 18-200mm, and the design includes a 4-stage image stabilizer.

Canon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 EF-S IS price graph

    Model overview based on user reviews  
    The Canon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 EF-S IS lens is praised for its versatility and convenience, making it an ideal choice for travelers who prefer not to carry multiple lenses. It offers a wide range of focal lengths, suitable for landscapes, portraits, and reportage photography. Users appreciate its good focal scale and find it to be a great value for the price. However, some note that the lens can produce slightly blurred or "soapy" images, particularly in macro photography, and the autofocus motor can be noisy during video recording. Despite these minor drawbacks, it is considered a solid all-rounder for those seeking a single lens solution.

    Optimal glass for travel, so you don’t have to carry an optics backpack
    20 January 2011 
    For a vacation, there's nothing better than a travel zoom lens for Canon (excluding the 28-300 L, but it costs at least 2,500 euros and weighs about 2 kilograms).
    with such focal lengths - weight, size
    edited in DPP and Photoshop, too bad it's not USM

    Lenses with a wide range of focal lengths are most popular among travelers and those who are looking for an all-in-one solution. Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS handles with the role of such an all-rounder at 100%.

    Versatility

    The beauty of the 18-200mm focal lengths (29-320mm in 35mm equivalent) lies in the ability to shoot any scene. So, the wide-angle end is great for photographing landscapes, long-focus settings allow you to hunt animals, and the middle end fills the portrait niche. The lens is also good at macro, but you should not count on a perfectly round bokeh — the aperture consists of only 6 petals.

    "Trunk"

    When you change the focal length, the front of the lens changes in size. The disadvantage of this design in this instance is the “trunk” leaving under its own weight. Those. if you lower the camera with the lens down, the focal length may spontaneously change upwards. There are no problems during transportation — there is a special lock on the lens body that holds the moving structure in the wide-angle position.

    Picture

    Universal from Canon draws a nice picture with the correct colour reproduction. At the wide-angle and telephoto ends, it tends to “blur” the corners a bit, with fairly good sharpness in the centre of the frame. Also, the lens is subject to chromatic aberrations, which appear in high-contrast light transitions.

    Stub and autofocus

    In the lens housing there was a place for the stabilization system. It allows you to win 3-4 stops of exposure, which is especially important at long focal lengths. Autofocus also handles with the tasks assigned to it — although the DC drive loses to USM motors in terms of speed and noise, it catches the subject tenaciously and reliably. There is only one nuance associated with the operation of the autofocus system: due to the fact that the focus ring rotates when focus, there is no way to use manual focus adjustment. To do this, you will have to switch it to a fully manual mode.
