I like it a lot. Has quick auto-focus, and you can use manual focus even when in auto-focus setting. Has no fringing. Has tack-sharp clarity of optics, so I can crop things shot at 250 mm and they look better than uncropped shots did with my old 300 mm lens from a different manufacturer.

Amazing lens! Great for distance shots as well as close ups. I usually keep this lens on by default. The auto focus and image stabilization is phenomenal as well!

I've had this for a few months and am very happy with the quality and value. Fine pics for a price that doesn't break the bank.

Had this lens four four months now,As with others is a little slow with autofocus on my T2i. Qualityof images is top notch for a non L lense.Has fairly good bokeh.Again this is not an L lense so for the value I feel it is a good choice.In my experience with it I get Excellent Quality Images with it about 85% of the time,Shooting Sports and Wildlife and even still life compositions.
Pros: Super-sharp images, excellent is, value
Cons: Slow auto-focus, slightly muted colors
I would recommend this to a friend!

I use this lens to get great close up shots as well as far away shooting with really good results . The noise during the zoom will just fade away the longer you start using this nice lens .
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, Super-sharp images
Cons: none
