Totally stupid question, but I can't google the answer. Is the Rebel Xt's kit lens a USM lens? I don't have it with me to check the barrel. If not, what's the difference between the 2 and the price difference as well?

Discussion on Non-USM vs USM version  You can find out, by trying to FTM. another word...try focusing it while half pressed on your shutter button. If it feels like you are forcing it, or it start clicking, you have the non-usm. the USM version will be easier to rotate the focusing ring. Actually, no. The 18-55 USM uses the micro-USM motor, not the ring USM, which does permit FTM wherever it's found. The only FTM using a micro USM motor Jon
