Excellent Purchase

This is the second time I have Purchased this lens. I first bought it as a kit lens wit Canon 300D a few years ago. I have many fond memories of taking many fine photos encompassing portraits, landscapes, animals and birds. Right now with several L series lenses and some others I did not need this lens but it is very handy for walks with my dog. Excellent purchase for a very small price. photos come out very sharp.
Pros: Superior build quality, Super-sharp images
I would recommend this to a friend!

Photography is my hobby not my profession. As such when I decided to upgrade to better equipment I chose Canon due to a lot of recommendations from friends who do shoot professionally. Once I got some of the basics down I wanted a decent telephoto lens with IS but did not want to spend a fortune on it. I came across this lens and bought it at a local retailer with a good return policy. Needles to say since I am taking time to write this I would not dream of returning this lens as it is now my most used of all my lenses. I use it for taking photos of everything from family portraits to events such as air shows. The images are crisp and clear and everything I hoped they would be. The only two cons I found are the same as a few others have mentioned. Autofocus is a bit slow, especially in the 200 to 250MM zoom range. And the moving focus ring which is common it seems on Canon’s low end lenses makes using filters a pain. But for the price you can’t beat the value and performance of this lens.
Pros: Superior build quality, Super-sharp images
Cons: Slow auto-focus

Great Value Zoom Lens
on July 17, 2011

I love this lens! I purchased it to go with my T3, because the kit lens hardly zooms. Boy, am I pleased!. It's ultra-easy to use and the image quality is awesome. I can get great shots without having to interrupt my subject. Manually focusing is easy. The only con I have is how the Auto Focus is both loud and slow. However, if you can manually focus this is not a problem. Also, make sure you don't get too close to the subject because you won't be able to focus it. Again, not a problem if you back up and manually focus. You can get some great macro-like shots without the macro lens cost. Overall I am quite satisfied and recommend this as a great beginning zoom lens.
Pros: Superior build quality, Super-sharp images, manually focus is easy
Cons: Slow auto-focus

WIth this lens you get what you pay for. I have mainly used the lens for action shots and it has constanly deliverd. The images are very sharp and the IS works very well. I have found this lens to preform fairly well in low light but some times strugles with the closer focusing distances. Also the Auto-Focus is sometimes slow but is accurate .It is light weight but not the best built quality. This lens overall has exceeded all of my expectations for it.
Pros: sharp images, good for price, light weight.
Cons: Slow auto-focus
