For a very reasonable price you get pretty good quality. not bad for a novice like me.I suppose if I was a pro this would not be good enough but the lens is as good as this user is and I have enjoyed the pictures I have taken with it.

I was between this lens and the IS (image stabilization) model. For the price I tried this model, as I have gone this far, about 40 years, with out IS. I am very pleased with the overall quality. In full sun I have hand held it at about 250mm, with great results. Otherwise I'll use a tripod. No big deal. I use the lens on a Rebel XTi and find the balance to be very pleasing. Shooting wild life in lower light conditions, it would be nice to have another f stop, but now you are talking a lot more money.

Great lens. Very smooth manual focus and zoom, and autofcous is seemless. Well worth the money.

If you are looking for a lens with this sort of focal length, it is going to be your cheapest option. It focuses slow. Really really slow. I have the 5D with the 24-105L, and it is almost painful to switch between the two. If you are trying to shoot a kids soccer game in broad daylight this will suit you fine. If you are taking pictures of your dog on a Sunday afternoon. This is not a focal length I use a lot, so it suits me fine. If you are serious about sport or wild life photography, you aren't going to buy this anyway. I would suggest saving your pennies and buying the 70-200 f/4L for just over $500. Kinda wish I had done that, but I had already dropped enough on the 5D.
 Not really a very good lens June 10, 2008

This lens is inexpensive, and it shows in terms of poor image quality, among other things. Unless you simply cannot afford something better, I would stay away from this one. I had it for a very short period of time before I got rid of it. Then again, at the price it is being offered, one cannot have too much grounds for complaint.
