NO. Absolutely not. 18-55 efs will give the same field of view as 18-55 ef (if there is such a thing) on the same body. It's the body that does the cropping (and therefore gives the 'crop factor'), not the lens.

ALL lenses will be affected by the crop factor, since that's a property of the body, not the lens. An ef-s 50mm (if there is such a thing) on a crop body would also be similar to 80mm on full-frame.

All teles have more reach on crop bodies because the body gives more reach, but I imagine that there are few ef-s telephoto lenses.
