I recently purchased a used 450D camera and so far I just love it. The kit lens that came with it does not have the image stabilization and I want to upgrade to that. My question is: What is the difference between the 18-55 IS and the 18-55 IS II??

When the IS version of the lens came out there were tests that indicated that it was sharper. The original non IS lens was a bit of a turkey.

jack880 Goldmember  More info | Jun 18, 2011 17:58 | #10 There was a non is which was supposed to be a bit crap,then an IS which is supposedly much sharper than the non IS, then an IS mk2. So 3 lenses altogether. Not sure what the difference is between the IS and IS mk2. https://www.flickr.com/photos/jackhenriques/
