This lens is the wide angle component alternative for the Kit lens, which I do not own. This image was taken on the deck railing in rural upstate Columbia County, New York, USA, with a Canon Digital Rebel XT (350D) camera and Canon AF EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens, hand held in Av mode, Auto Focused, with available ambient light. This is a full resolution Large JPEG and is Straight Out Of Camera (SOOC) without any post-processing, editing, resizing, cropping, or adjustment.
