Why does the description say "Canon 18-55mm"? Is this a typo?

Must be a typo - I googled it for info looked up part numbers etc. It is a Canon 75-300mm.

B. Stoops did you purchase this lens? I'm about to buy the T2i (550D) and am debating to get this as part of the kit or get the 18-55 and potentially buy this one separately later.

Yes, it is a 55mm; however, the lens' glass is recessed so it's quite out of harm's way. Whenever possible, avoid putting another layer of glass in front of your high quality optics. Even a good filter reduces clarity and contrast. With most lenses the glass is more vulnerable. This lens - especially if you use the hood - is almost impenetrable. I've used Hoya and other high quality filters; they ALL degrade image quality.

I'd double check the sellers laying as they can be sold "body only". The seller I bought from several years ago was selling the package that includes the Sony kit lens (18-55mm f/3.5-5.6)

This is a cropped sensor camera, so a 18-55mm is approximately 27- 82mm which is an ideal range for wide and portraits. If you prefer close ups, than the 18-135mm is more suitable

The 18mm-55mm is Cannon. The other two lenses are more attachments to your base 18mm-55mm lens as they do not connect to the camera body directly. The brand of these is Vivitar.

The 18-55 is a great lens, but the 23mm prime is a magic lens. Since I've acquired the 23mm I hardly use my 18-55. Maybe it's still the honeymoon phase, but I just love the 23. It renders images in a different way than the 18-55, and the speed/DOF of 1.4 really does make a difference.

I have the exact same question. Please do post your findings. I am confused too. Apparently 18-200 is supposed to have larger zoom but I want to make sure that the quality of 18-200 matches to 18-135 at the least upto 135 mm. If so i will go with 18-200 for sure.

You need to buy an adapter for the wide angle, they are not canon. The two canon lenses work great. The 18 to 55 is a good all around lens. The package deal wasn't bad. I'm a little annoyed about the wide angles not being compatible.

18-55 doesn't matter. It is the size of the threaded ring on the end of the lens that dictates what size filter to use. It is usually indicated on the Face of the lens.

Before I bought my 18-200, I was often disappointed that I'd miss that great shot because I had the exact wrong lens on my camera (If I had the 18-55, I'd inevitably see something moving in the distance that I'd wanted to shoot,etc..). By the time I'd switched, the opportunity was often gone. The 18-200 meant less missed shots.

It is indeed a Sony 18-55mm Lens, it even has the Sony sticker on the bottom of the lens. It fits like a glove! Everything in the bundle arrived in my package just as picture above. The only thing slightly different was the bag, the bag is still a Sony bag and the camera fits perfectly inside with the lens, and some accessories like the charger and flash. Here is a link to see what the bag looks like except it is black, not grey http://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/mp/products/1307/1307690/1307690635/1307690635_500x500_sa.jpg;canvasHeight=500;canvasWidth=500

Is this the lens you are asking about? Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II SLR LensIf so you would need a 58mm filter. This one will not fit.

An 18-55 mm lens is generally used for portrait type photos as well as medium wide angle photos. I use it both for some nature shots as well as many family group photos. The only time it lacks capabilities is very late in the day when light is very low - depending on your camera you can dial up the ASA speed to overcome that.

I own two other canon cameras and only ordered the body; however, you can by the standard lens with the body that's an 18-55mm image stabilized canon lens. This lens is very sharp and functions well, but like some other less expensive canon lenses, the mount is plastic. You might want to consider the canon 18-135mm IS lens. It too is sharp and the mount is metal, and a refurbished or used can be purchased for around $200.00.

The EF-S 18-55 mm IS lens and the 55-250mm IS lens are made by Canon, not the case for the Telephoto and wide-angle lenses.
