I was hesitant to purchase this Lens due to its price but its everything I needed and more. Camera came with 2 Lens that are useless so if had to do it again would have bought it without the Lens then bought this one. Unless you're a professional this Lens will do everything you want

Great lens for any type of shot

Verified Purchase:Yes

I am so glad I bought this lens instead of replacing my 18-55mm lens. This new lens offers great options without changing to my telephoto lens. Instead of carrying two lens - I am good to go with just one! Love it!

Great vacation lens!

on May 23, 2012

Posted by: RaleighRed

from Raleigh, NC

Purchased this lens just before going on a WDW vacation, to attach to my Canon T3i w/ BG-E8 battery grip. It came in handy during all the character meals-- especially when shooting larger groups, the 18mm zoom came in handy!

The PhotoPass photographers found it easy enough to use, as evident by the perfectly cropped pics they shot of my family of four.

Haven't noticed any motor noise when using in movie mode, but then again my previous Rebel XSi couldn't shoot video. Was able to shoot a nice movie mode video on the Dumbo ride w/o any issues.

Fireworks shots came in clear, as I was able to shoot at 18mm on a monopod.

I was able to get some pretty nice closeup details of flowers and butterflies during the Flower & Garden Festival in EPCOT. It's not a true macro lens, but not bad.

My only complaint? The lens tends to creep all the way to 200mm when pointing downward--unless the lens is locked down. (I had the lens hood and 72mm filter on, but still, it'd be nice if it didn't creep.)

Overall, it made taking 2000+ photos and 20+ videos a breeze for a week's stay in Orlando! (Knowing my next lens is the Canon L-series 70-200mm f/4, I would've given this Canon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 all 5s, but I reserve that rating for the new lens.)

What's great about it: no need to change lenses

What's not so great: lens creep when not locked

I would recommend this to a friend!

Great range

on May 31, 2013

Posted by: Grannyboo

from Marion NC

Verified Purchase:Yes

This is a good lens. A little pricey but it's a lot of range for the money. It's a little heavy also. The sharpness is about the same as my other lens. I returned it but not because it wasn't a good lens. It was because it was heavy and about the same sharpness and picture quality as what I already have.

My Best Buy number: 2733277292

What's great about it: good wide to telephoto range

What's not so great: Heavy
