lighteverything else
This lens usually comes as part of a kit (along with an entry level film SLR). It's lightweight, which pretty mich sums up the good stuff I can say about it.

Otherwise, it's built like a free toy from cereal box and is optically a non-performer. -
suitable rangebuild quality
Image quality actually isnt THAT bad for that cheap a lens, but build shows what this lens is all about. The focal range is useful of course, but there are much better alternatives

Very cheap, good IQ stopped down, small and lightBad range for APS-C cameras, CA, flare, vigneting ...
This was my first Canon lens, it came as a kit with my film camera (an Elan-7), and I've get some of my best pictures from it.

So if you're in a very tight budget it's a good option (it's a better lens than most of the zooms in compact digital cameras!!).
It has the typical weaknesses of a cheap lens: bad construction, CA, flare, vigneting, a little bit slow and noisy AF, etc.
But if you stop down to f8 the IQ it's as good as other lenses much more expensive, and all this in a small, light and cheap package (so you don't need to worry about rain, dust, front lens scratches, etc.)
