I had my Canon XTi for over 2 years before breaking down and buying a new lens - the kit lens just doesn't do it. I chose this because from what I could tell the aspherical lens was really good - and I wanted a good zoom lens.Overall I really do like them. I'm not going to say it's top notch build quality, but I think it's better than Canon's kit lens. I don't use the zoom lens much - but it works well for zooming I just tend to take close up / portraits / wide shots more.The aspherical is what I really love. It is crisp, gets really really good colors, and looks nice. It makes anything taken with my kit lens look straight out of a point and shoot. At 70mm it produces a pretty nice bokeh effect. I think this is worth the money - especially for beginners or if you have a kid real interested in photography but you don't wanna spend 1 grand on a lens they might lose /drop / etc. I also am in college, so on a budget, this is a GREAT deal. It comes with lens hoods which I love.

This is a great lens combo for any slr hobyist from beginer to advanced. Both lenses are built well and take realy nice pictures. I have been unable to find a better deal for the price. The 70-300mm lens is great for someone starting out in macro photography.
