Love the zoom

on March 5, 2015

Posted by: bennyboy432

Verified Purchase:Yes

We bought this primarily for the great zoom range and love the additional zoom. Our camera (T3i) came with the 18-55mm lens, so this 18-200mm really improved our ability to zoom in. This lens feels heavier than we expected it to - it really weighs the camera down compared to the 18-55mm. But, we still keep this lens on our camera all the time because we like the zoom.

Excellent Quality

on May 19, 2012

Posted by: MikeD46

from Winter Springs, Fl.

I bought this when I noticed that it was on sale. I had been wanting to upgrade to this lens for my Canon 60D. I have used it a couple of times and over 400 photo's. It is crisp for me on close ups and I like the extended range over my 18-135mm.

I am an amateur photographer, so I have no need for taking my photo's to 11x17 or larger. I have used this also in a pinch for portrait use and found it to be a good lens.

I like the feel and I like the results, and the locking device at 18mm allows me to walk around and not worry about the lens extending on me.

What's great about it: Size, ease of use, Image Quality, low light usage

What's not so great: it isn't 300mm

I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice Shot

I like this lens I have used it for a few weeks and getting great pictures. The lens is on the heavy side but the trade of is not having to switch lens to get your shots. I am enjoying the lens and I think that it is worth the extra cost.

What's not so great: On the heavy side,

great lens

Verified Purchase:Yes

accidentally dropped the original lens that came with the camera so i had to purchase a replacement lens. This lens works great, but it is pricey almost like buying a new camera but no point of having two cameras with one lens. Great addition to if you wanted to upgrade your DSLR.
