How do you find the sweet spot on a lens?
The rule for finding that mid-range sweet spot is to count up two full f-stops (aperture settings are called f-stops) from the widest aperture. On my lens, the widest aperture is f/3.5. Two full stops from there would bring me to a sweet spot of around f/7.1.
How good is the Nikon 18-55mm II?
Good lens for a included kit lens price, more better as Canon EF 18-55mm II kit lens, Nikon 18-55 produce sharper images, but when stopping down to F8. At this price point? None ! Nice basic lens, you don’t need more to enter the DSLR world.
Is the 18-55 is worth it with a 55-250?
The 18-55 IS is at its worse at 55mm, no matter what F-number you use. It’s still good enough for a kit lens though, and has no noticeable lens distortion. For the 55-250, the sweet spot is 135mm at f/8. I’ve found macro-style shots at 250mm at f/5.6 are pretty dull and lack too much detail.
How sharp is the canon 18-55 is?
The 18-55 IS is pretty sharp for a kit lens, so you don’t lose a great deal out of using the DPP lens distortion correction and rotation tools. I usually compensate for them by bumping the sharpness up 1 point, though this can make the noise more obvious in low light shots.
How good is the 18-55mm for portraits?
If you shoot RAW, the 18-55mm is ok at f/5.6 provided you are prepared to enhance sharpness in the DPP. My experience with 55-250mm is that until you hit 200mm, the lens is best at f/7.1 – and that if you use it for portrait, it actually produces good background blur (bokeh).
