I would buy this product again
I have not really had a chance to use the lens, but the few picture I did take look good to an amateur. I say this because I am really new to DSLR. Even though it is a refurb looks like new. Will know better when I get back from Alaska.

Great lens for the price!
I consider myself a longtime photo enthusiast, but I've always had to make do with point-and-shoot cameras. Recently, I got a great deal on a refurbished Canon DSLR and decided that I wanted to have a telephoto lens to go with the package. I haven't had a chance to do much shooting with the lens yet, but what I have been able to do so far impresses me greatly! This is a wonderful lens for the price; don't let the "refurbished" part scare you away, though, because the lens looks and performs just like a factory-fresh lens right out of the box. The feature set is great, but one caveat: if you're new to a DSLR like me and you haven't a lot of experience with telephoto photography, a tripod or monopod might be the way to go in order to reduce camera shake and get good results. All in all, I'm extremely happy with this purchase and would recommend this lens to anyone who wants a great telephoto lens at a super price.

I would buy
I wanted an economical zoom lens to photograph wildlife and scenery. I found this "refurbished" by canon and relunctantly ordered. Product arrived in perfect condition and looks brand new. Not only did I save money, I got a a great zoom lense that works great! Excellent for bird photos.

Great Lens
I purchased this lens for my Son . He is the sports photographer for his school paper . He is really enjoying using it . His pictures come out great . He has had three of them used in our city newspaper already . He is a beginner , but is catching on quick . Great lens for what he is using it for .

It's a decent lens considering the price. The focus is a bit slow and the range is quite limited. But if for the purpose for which is made, not all around, is great. Nice crisp photos. Just a bit slow on the auto focus; I just focus manually with it.

Will hold its own
Over all it is worth the money. Great starter lens for the bigginer wildlife photographer. Focus is hard to get in low light but on sunny days it is right on.

Never know it was refurbished
Great product for the price. Wouldn't know it was refurbished minus the gold sticker. Quit and accurate focus through out the focal range with no signs of blurring at any certain range. Got exactly what I wanted a lens that didn't cost a fortune and does what it was designed to do. Better lens out there but they cost way more and for my casual use with this lens 4 stars.

Great Buy For A Great Product!!!
Right now I use this lens for sports photography, but I've taken it out for landscaping and nature photography as well. It performs as it should for a cheap lens. It's heavy but does the job. Great lens with easy mounting and removal. No problems with it whatsoever and I doubt there will be any. Great slave lens!

Great Lens - Great Deal
You can save a bundle by getting a refurbished product. It has been retested by Canon and works fine. Although the AF works fine, I mainly use it in the manual mode. I am old fashion and like to focus it myself. [...]

Sharp, cheap, no stabilization, modest f
Works fine, so far. No stabilization and modest maximum f make it's use restricted to fairly bright light. But overall it's a good value for the cost, taking the limitations of its specs into account.

Wonderful lens
Am having a great time taking nature and wildlife pictures. I read a lot of comments on the need for tripod at anything over 200mm -- well -- I am getting some great shots with no blur and have NOT used a tripod yet and have only had this lens for a couple weeks.
It is heavy but it is a large lens with a lot of zoom.
Try this lens and I think you may be pleasantly surprised.

Awesome Lens
I bought the lens as a 'test' lens since it's refurbished and I've never bought a refurbished lens before. I'm very pleasantly surprised - looked perfect out of the box, works perfectly, I definitely would recommend!

Bang for the Buck!
I bought this specifically for photographing a Marine Corps boot camp graduation and I wasn't disappointed! Fast focus and very flexible when used with my Canon Rebel XTi.
I'd love to have one of the f2.8 zooms, but this cost less than 1/8th what one of those did.
I've also shot a few macro shots with it and been very happy.
