 Excited so far... June 25, 2008

This lens definitely meets my expectations so far. I ordered the Canon EF-S, without realizing it wouldn't fit my 10D without modification (which I was unwilling to attempt). So I finally decided on this lens over the Sigma, and I must say that it's giving me much better quality output from my camera than I've ever had. I was *this* close to getting an entire new system, but I have no problems out of my current one other than the fact of age...and a few more megapixels. I just can't believe it's taken me so long to get a better lens for my wonderful camera.
Incredible lens - great price! January 4, 2008

I received this lens for Christmas(was asked what I wanted and I said this lens) and so far the image quality is outstanding. I know this lens is a little bit older than say the Tamron 17-50 and several other Canon lenses that I checked out (including the new Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS) that, like this lens are made more for the DSLRs, but this one won out due to the great reviews that I've read that say that the optics in this lens compare with the L Series Canon lenses and after vewing the results I can see why. With a f/2.8 it's an extrememly fast zoom lens especially in low-light situations. The price.... roughly $290.00 is terrific for a lens of this quality. My advise .... don't hesitate buying this lens!
 almost a general purpose lens November 15, 2007

I was on a tight budget to get a single lens (for indoor/outdoor people & group shots and few landscape shots) and chose this based on reviews. This lens produces sharp pictures outside and in good lighting conditions (non-flash situations). However, it does leave something to be desired for low-light hand held indoor shots of people. I am looking into getting the Canon 28mm f/1.8 USM to fill that gap (I would have loved to get the canon 50mm f/1.4, but on a 1.6x camera it is 80mm which is not very useful for me). It does produce soft corners in wide angles. I also had a lot of focus issues when I used a UV filter with this lens. A good lens hood (the one supplied with the lens is useless) is needed to remove flare.
Update 12/20/2007 - I have since swapped this lens for the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 DC fixed aperture lens and the pictures are stunningly sharp compared to this lens, particularly in indoor low-light situations. Sharp in center and corners at f/2.8 itself with no need to step down at all. At about 150$ more, its definitely worth plunking more for the 17-50 f/2.8 over this lens for CROP CAMERAS (17-50 is a DC lens and will cause vignetting in FF cameras).

Got this lens recently and have taken it to various shoots with different lighting situations. It works great and is nice and sharp. It does make a bit of a loud noise when on auto focus mode. It's a good buy and has a very good price.
NOTE: Stars should be 4 stars, not one. Amazon won't let me change the stars. Bad Amazon...bad! (hits with newspaper)
