Feb 07, 2011 08:14 | #1 Just an FYI because its easy to overlook with all of today's announcements but Canon is now using a new kit lens with a "look" that more closely matches the 18-135mm. Doesn't look like there are really any optics differences though...so meh. Please visit my Flickr

Nothing to get too excited about. 50D, Sigma 10-20 EX DC HSM, Sigma 18-50 DC EX Macro, Canon 100 2.8 Macro, Canon 55-250 IS, Canon 50 1.8II, Yongnuo 460-II

According to Canon this is identical in specification to the previous version, and features exactly the same optics and IS system: it simply has a revised external design. The visible changes suggest a paring down of production costs, for example the 'white square' alignment mark for mounting the lens is now simply painted on, rather than moulded. -quoted from http://www.dpreview.com/previews/canoneos600d/

I hate that cheap chinese look on the IS version. the black ring with 18-55 is better too, than the gray one.

Dusted off the kit lens that came with my 550D and it's made in Japan, it says so on the mount of the lens instead of the front element area but from what I've heard, some of them are made elsewhere.
