Decent Lens
From the perspective of a hobbyist/amateur, I can not expect more from this lens. Images are sharp, IS works wonderfully and USM is very quiet, compared to my old Tamron 28-80. No more annoying creeping sounds, just smooth.
One Drawback: When you pair it with a light body camera like my XT, it’s gonna suck when you try to put it around your neck and go all day long, it’s gonna make you tired very quickly since the lens causes the body to be inclined forwards.
Other than that, highly recommend!
Outstanding Lens!!
I couldn’t be happier with this lens. Image quality with this lens is superb, bokeh is very smooth. Auto focus is very fast and reliable, and image stabilization makes getting a clear shot easy, even with a moving target. I’m using this lens on a Canon Rebel XSi, and it is now my primary lens. It is far superior to the kit EF-S 18-55mm IS lens, and is a perfect intermediate lens between the kit lens and my EF 70-300mm IS USM telephoto zoom lens. If you need something with greater reach than the kit lens, but you don’t want to spend more than $500, buy this lens. You won’t regret it.
