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.

OK Lens for snapshots - poor focus at infinity

I have been using this lens for 6 months regularly. It was purchased as a refurb. Generally, it has functioned very well, mechanically. The focusing motor is good and I don't feel that it is noisy. I would use this lens much more often, except that for more distant subjects the focus is very poor at any aperture setting.
Pros: price is good
Cons: Semi-sharp images, low contrast when zoomed in
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great kit lens. Slow auto-focus misses in anything less than perfect lighting. The images are good quality, but not as sharp as I'd like, even under pretty decent lighting.
BUT, it's easy to use and to learn with. For the price, the images are great. It can be used in most situations, and I will probably keep it on hand because of that.

Underwhelmed

I have to say, that after having used this lens for some time now, that I have not had the quality results that others have had with this lens. The older version of this lens was better, in my opinion...disappointed.
Cons: Slow auto-focus, Semi-sharp images
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This lens is great...for 6 months

this lens is awesome of you're a beginner and are just getting the hang of things. BUT since it's very cheaply made it will not last you very long, it's frustrating! this lens is not worth the $200. Save up and buy one that actually works.

It's an ok lens

I mainly use this lens for wide angle shots. I like the stabilizer, wish all my lenses had it. I am waiting to see how it does for landscape shots during the fall foliage changes.
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Super-sharp images
I would recommend this to a friend!
