The <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-S-18-55mm-f-3.5-5.6-II-Lens-Review.aspx%22" rel="nofollow">lens review</a> on The Digital Picture is on point as usual. Shooting at f/16 actually degrades sharpness due to diffraction. The optimum f-stop for most lenses is in the f/8 range. On the wide end of the 18-55, stopping down beyond f/11 for depth of field wouldn't usually be necessary. Cheers, Joe Hi Jon,

For the price it's an amazingly nice performing piece of glass. Downside: a loss of sharpness in the extremes of the f-stop range and minor distortion at it's 18mm focal length. I can put up with these, as I generally shoot about F/16 and can use post-processing distortion fixers in Photoshop to correct for distortion.
