hard to see the difference.. some slight color fringing on the top left of the soap bottle on the kit lens but seems a bit sharper than the L lens.

#1 is more clear in the lettering to me. Its to bad its a EF-S, I love to have the 18-135 STM version for my 6D as a walk around.

i was a bit surprised a $250 kit lens is sharper than my $1,200 lens.. think canon tricked me with the shinny red ring.

i think they make a spacer to fit it on a full frame...

Really Will have to look into that. My friend has 18-135 STM on a t4i and he gets tack sharp images SOOC. Never know, sometimes the kits lens give the more costly glass a run for its money.
