Pros:

light

Cons:
|
everything 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.

build 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

Pros:
|
Very cheap, good IQ stopped down, small and light
|
|
Cons:
|
Bad 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.)
