Re: The best kit lens? Canon 55-250mm IS STM review

I thought for what it was, the original version of this lens was okay. I still have it but it started looking a bit hazy at some point. Not sure if I bumped it, but something wasn't quite right. The STM version is better from what I read, which is good.

The Canon kit lenses are mostly decent. All the newer STM kit lenses are not bad. I think the main issue is the variable aperture, but if you can deal with that, you have a capable lens.
