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.

I love these lenses

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.
