I bought this to replace the aging 18-270 that was 4 years old. I wanted more length and also a wider base for my walk around. I have this mounted on my 70D and it feels great. I knew this was a good lens, but what surprises me is how silent the AF is when it is working, and how good the colors are. This rivals my Canon 24-105 'L' for being quiet. The photo's are very good, I do not pixel peep, so I do not worry about that side of the equation. I use Lightroom to enhance where necessary, but I have found that I have little to do, as the colors seem very good to me. This is mainly my travel lens and will go to Italy with me next month. Also, the price was right, and it was delivered right to my door at the day I was told. It has a lock feature and the barrel is nice and solid, so there is not movement when pointing this down towards the ground. I also feel that it is much better build quality than the 18-270 Tamron sells.

LIGHT WEIGHT & PRECISE

I bought this a couple of days ago, and went right out and tested the lens on my 2 cameras. MY 60D & 70D. The lens is solid to feel, has a very snug fit and is light.
The colors are reproduced at a very high level and I have not noticed any problems on the corners with vignetting.
I shot about 300 photo's, using all aperture settings, shutter speed, and ISO. Just to see how flexible it was to different settings, I Liked the results. Because it is an f/2.8 lens, I got it so I could make low light video's on my 70D, but now I see the opportunity to also use it as a walk around when I head to Italy in April. I may now buy a 2nd one, and have it stay on my 60D permanently.

I was looking for a small easy to use travel laptop. I found it today. I got it home, and was up and running in about 3 minutes. It does what I need, check emails, surf the web, youtube, watch a video on netflix.
The battery has a 10 hour usage is great. Very light, but built solid.

I bought this as an open box unit, and I am very pleased. The hookup was simple, and so was my getting back into Netflix. It has great color and video, and the add-on apps are also very nice.

I picked up my 70D in the morning. Got home set it up and went for a walk through the park. I used all of the settings except Video and I am very pleased at the results. Live View is very quick, if focuses quickly, I love the additional AF points. It has many more features that I will be trying out in the coming days. I own a 60D and this is a definite step up and forward.
Right out of the box it took very good photo's, and I took a couple in early evening on AUTO ISO and the photo's came out better than I expected. Right now the RAW format isn't recognized in Lightroom 4.4. If you are an existing Canon DSLR user, reload the software for working on photo's, then you can shoot RAW if you need that discipline.

What's not so great: no GPS

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 loves this lens. It's not as sharp as my 50mm but on a cropped sensor camera like my Canon t5i, the 50mm becomes more of a 80mm. I actually keep this lens on the camera at all times especially when walking around shooting. Visit my site at FavorFollowsMe.com to see some of the images I've taken with this lens.
