Photography Blog posted their full Canon RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM review. They gave it a “recommended” rating and 4/5 stars. From the conclusion:
The effective 4.5-stop optical image stabilisation system makes this lens more versatile in low-light situations, allowing you to hand-hold the camera in situations where you can’t use a tripod or similar support. This is especially important on the EOS R10 which doesn’t have IBIS.
We did miss having built-in weather-proofing, though, which would offer some peace of mind in the more inclement conditions that this lens may be subjected to, and it would have been nice to see the optional lens hood and bag included in the box.
Auto-focusing proved to be quick, quiet and reliable on the Canon EOS R7 camera body that we tested the lens with thanks to the STM motor, while manual focus over-ride at any time is a great feature, and we didn’t miss having a dedicated AF/MF button on the lens barrel because both the R7 and R10 have one.
