i see
the 650 is an estimate from the staff
when i asked them, they haven't even unload it from the cargo box!!
The link you indicated is 6 days ago, people are selling like 600 in B&S now after a website shows that the kit lens is better than it! :bsmilie:
No offence but I am not comparing, I am merely pointing that a website did a comparison and the kit lens prove to be better (in certain sense). As for B&S and shop (RRP), I won't comment as what you describe above cos the same lens sold in B&S are new and still wrapped. IMHO, the difference is not much to warrant the monetary difference. Cheerio!

Has anyone read what other people are saying about 18-135 yet?
http://community.the-digital-picture.com/forums/p/2286/17798.aspx
Quoted:
"The fact that they've made a really poor lens, crafted specifically for their top of the line prosumer single digit crop camera, is poor form. I'd think anyone who's looking at spending $2K on a new camera/lens combo is going to be expecting a certain quality level, and they won't be getting it. "
Another:
"I own a 8mm fisheye "exotic" (russian) Peleng. It's a tank (all metal). It's price is more than cheap (one buy it only for fun, usually, not for serious photography) but it does extremly sharp images on a "stupid customer" 1000D. And my Canon (oooohh) new (aaah) 18-135 is sharper as my aunt glasses."
This would explain the cold shoulder this lens has been getting over the past few weeks.
Sad.

go take a look at the lab shots
i must say i agree with them to the core
though i don't own it , but really the lab shots are enough

the image you see with your cursor off it belongs to the 18~135
rollover your cursor on the picture and you have the 18~55
as a self-declared canon fanboy , i'm very disappointed with them

i totally agree with you.. if you need zoom for Canon.. 18-200mm IS is the way to go.. Even 18-200mm IS is much better than 18-135...
The best in IQ using Kit Lens
- 18-55mm IS
- 18-200mm IS
- 18-135mm IS (lousiest)

Have been chasing MS for almost 2 weeks, still no news..... sigh..... :sweat:
So far seems like pretty decent comments from dpreview users. The only thing is the steep price................
Agreed, still debating between this and 17-55mm f/2.8. Sigh..... :think:
17-55 is a great lens.
