No. You just screw it onto the lens which makes it darker. Also when you zoom out you see black edges, a round black circle, on all your photos. I never use them. Also my tripod is already broken.

Hi Ling, it is a very good choice if you are not looking for a Canon lens, I have a Canon 550D and it is working perfectly on it.

I think its pretty much everything in there you shouldn't buy anything else. but you can still buy some other lens if you want it just be sure the size of the lens.

I have a D80 too and it's an awesome lens. I'm an amateur as well so I don't know too much about photography but this lens has a decent balance between depth of field and zoom for its affordable price.

depends on your expectation. It is not a technically wonderful lens by any means. But i keep it on my old epl1 in the glove box or my coat pocket and use it when an opp presents itself. Its fun. Cheap. And as long as you don' mind the zone focus gets shots i otherwise would not get due to not having a kit with me. Love it these winter months when work kills all my light

I recomend to you... Its a good zoom for the beginners photographers!!! The scope is very good and you can complement with the digital zoom.... I hope will be useful.

mine came new, and box was in good condition. lens optics are good, very little distortion, very light, and sharp images. very good for the price. the only problem is the lens is not very fast, but that's also why it's so cheap. a good every day throw around lens. plastic mount has held up, no issues so far on my D7000

I bought it formy T2i and it's amazing. So much better than the 18-55mm that came originally with it. I did run firmware updates and added the lens to my camera's list for Peripheral Illumination Correction. I found the information on how to do it on google. But I love the lens, it works great on my T2i.

Nothing, same lens, same quality and you get extras to boot. I was Leary when ordering due to the big difference in price, but it's the same lens.

Yes, it's a good lens to start with. I will recommend also for better results to get UV and Circular Polarization filters. The first one is a must, because it not only improves the overall quality of the pictures (for example: the clouds show with better contrast), but also protects the lens from damage. I am using this lens for more than a year and I am very happy with the quality of the pictures.

An extra set of lenses come with it, I haven't tried changing them out yet. Don't know if available separately for purchase.

no, but an amazing lens - sharpness and color rendition is as good or better than any pro lens out there. i am a pro for 35yrs, this is a great lens.

It's an L Series lens that comes with the camera as opposed to being a 'kit lens' and is awesome when combined with the Canon 6D. The 24-100 L IS gives you a great shooting range, has Image Stabilisation which gives you the 'extra stops' in low light and basically a is a great all round lens. So yes, it is very much worth getting with the camera.

sorry, can`t help you on that one, I did not order the lens, and I find it OK the way it gives me some perifery lighting. I'm more concern about battery life at this time, after a couple of months batteries last 2 hrs less than at the beginning

I am happy with mine. Unless you are going to spend the value of the camera base on a lens or more, should be fine.

I've had both IS and non IS, I have found that for the price this is a very handy lens to have. It works great outside, and as long as you have a semblance of a half way steady hand then not having the IS won't be a problem. Some of the issues you might encounter with this lens is when it comes to shooting in lower light situations, for example trying to take pictures inside especially at night if the room is not heavily lit. In that case the IS would help but that would only take you so far. Part of that is due to the lens speed. I found that if you take more pictures and try to stay aware of light you should do just fine. I love that this lens has the wide angle and the ability to super zoom. This has become my main travel lens, because of its versatility. For the price you can't beat it, I think its like $199 and just starting off as a new photographer its a good start. Yes there are better lenses out there BUT you will pay a Lot more for them as well.

It is a hell of a great lens for its price. If you have extra money you can consider other lenses such as: Nikon 17-35mm f/2.8D ED-IF AF-S Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras (http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-17-35mm-Nikkor-Digital-Cameras/dp/B00005LEOS) again, if you have extra money. I have used both but I was happier with this 18-35mm lens because it's so light weight. Unless you have an old camera with not-so-great ISO performance or you like to do astrophotography, I think this lens can make many people happy.
