Are yiu sure this isn't a filter on the front of that lens?

The "crenalated" pointy edge certainly looks like one!

Yes it does. I've had 3 of the 18-55s and none had that edge. I'd be willing to wager there's a cheap filter on the lens and it needs to come off.

May not need to come off, at least not permanently, however it would certainly benefit from a clean!
