Better than most!

I was searching for a telephoto mate to my EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM, which is one of the best lenses Canon makes for crop sensor cameras, and nothing fit the bill. I took a chance and tried this cheap lens. Wowza! Super sharp and great contrast. In test shootouts it stood up well to the best, and stays great throughout the whole range. Extra sharp all the way out to 250mm.
The only two things I would complain about is the vignetting (dark corners) when you get zoomed out, and I would have paid a little more for a metal mount. But at this price you can't beat it until you get up to L class glass, and that you pay plenty for. I still wish Canon made a 55-300mm like my fantastic 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM, but until they do I am sticking with this lens. Correcting stills in DPP is easy. My only concern is video on the long end with the vignetting issue. But image quality is super sharp and abberation is minimal, so just get this lens...you will like it!
Pros: Super-sharp images, image stabilization, price, light weight
Cons: vignetting, plastic mount
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent lens !!!

I bought this lens to use for outdoor sports. Wider & longer that my 70-200 F4-L, & a featherweight by comparison. Some complain about plastic build but it seems very well constructed to me. Optically, it is superb ! I did some comparison shots & I CANNOT tell the difference !! The auto focus is quite fast, just a tad slower than USM. I'm getting terrific results & can't be happier !! It's earned 5 stars from me !!
Pros: Superior build quality, Super-sharp images
Cons: Slow auto-focus, slow only compared to usm !
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great lens, the image stabilizing feature is great, can focus on distant shots and responds quickly when focusing, great use on outdoors.

I am not a pro but with this lens I won a photo contest for the first. I am still learning my rebel XSI digital camera which I love. Also the price on the lens is very good
Thank you Canon.

Great lens...

I bought this lens used and I am generally happy with it. Comparing it the other lenses that I bought for my 7D new, this one has softer picture quality, especially at the ends, lower and upper boundaries. Admittedly, I am relatively new to DSLRs, not photography, so it may be something that I am not doing correctly.
Nonetheless, I am quite satisfied with my purchase.
