Canon 8114B002 EF-S 18-55mm is STM (Renewed)

Using this lens almost all the time. A good range of view and quiet, fast focusing. Lightweight and fun to use.

Works just as great as my original cannon lens. I broke my original and found this one for a decent price. Pictures are as clear and vibrant as original one.

Got this lens a few months ago and put it though it's paces. Lens works great, no issues. The glass was clean and all of the gears worked smoothly. It is a kit lens through and through so don't expect superb picture quality from it, but that is far from making it a bad lens. It is perfect for beginning photographers and cinematographers to learn the basics.

My previous lens decided to die on me mid shoot, so I ordered this a quick replacement. It's been great so far almost a month later!

The lens is is exactly as described. Bought it to replace the original lens on my Canon EOS Rebel T2i. I'm so glad I took a chance on this refurbished lens. I would not be able to tell the difference between a brand-new lens or this one. It seems perfect to me and you can't beat the price.

The first time I ordered this lens it came with a lens cover that could not be removed. To the credit of the vendor, they replaced it. I made the mistake of not testing the 2nd lens soon enough to learn that it had focusing issues before the vendor's ("DigJungle") warranty ran out.When in manual or auto focus mode, the focus ring will turn continuously in any direction. It appears to be disconnected from the internal focusing mechanism.When I focus using the auto focus mechanism, operated from the camera, it will quickly lock on to whatever point I choose, but it won't remain focused there EVEN IF I SWITCH IT TO MANUAL AND TAPE DOWN THE FOCUSING RING. When my Canon is mounted on a tripod for a "mass shooting" (nothing changes but the subjects), incredibly, some images will be tack sharp and others will be out of focus.The latest event was shot at f/8, focus ring taped after achieving focus, manual focus mode, distance was a consistent 15 feet, camera mounted on a sturdy tripod. All of these measures should have assured me sharp images throughout the series. The focus even changed between images of the same subject and within mere seconds of each other, while remotely triggering the camera and lights!In short, the lens is junk and I don't have the low level of character to try to resell it or even give it away. Lesson learned: Don't buy from DigJungle, and test quickly and copiously.

My camera fell off a conference table and the filter shattered. As a retired professional photographer, the first thing I do it put a UV filter on all my lenses. The lens was saved but the thread was warped so I couldn't remove the filter. It was cheaper to buy this replacement lens than to have my old lens repaired.

Pros;1) Great lens2) Silent (auto focus)Cons;1) Poor packaging (Came in a box and a plastic type bag covered in poorly constructed bubble wrap)2) Manual focus ring doesn't have specific stopping points, so if you're used to having to turn the manual ring - all the way left/right - it doesn't stop. It just continues.3) Rear lens cap (End that connects to camera) - Not so stable, keeps falling off, so if you do use it as a primary lens or a secondary lens and you do take the cap off or lens off camera, I'd recommend buying a second cap just in case.Overall, great lens for it being certified refurbished, you can't even tell it's been refurbished at all.
