As with many of Canon's consumer level lenses, there seems to be a wide
variation in samples. This was taken with the 18-55 that was bundled with

Sharp, good color, not much more that you can ask for in a lens that runs
about $100.

I'm guessing the shot was made at f/8 to f/11 ... almost any lens will
do well in bright light and those aperture settings.

The real test is wide open...

Cheers,
Alan.
