The Digital Picture

Thanks. That review finally said near the end, "Specifically comparing the f/4-5.6 IS STM to its predecessor, the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens, we see the older lens performing better in the wide angle periphery and the newer lens performing significantly better at the long end. I prefer the results of the f/4-5.6 overall, though if using the lens primarily at 18mm with scenes requiring sharper corners (such as landscapes), the older lens may be the better choice."

Onestly i dont find myself with the results of the f3.5 version from digital picture. Mine at 55mm is as sharp as at 18mm.

I think they should have near or less the same performances but with different sizes and aperture.
