I use this lens all the time, whether shooting scenery, animals or portraits. Had one before. Broke lens after 20 foot drop to sidewalk. Small drops never bothered it. Immediately ordered the new one to replace the old. This is a definate must have.

I purchased this lens as an inexpensive solution for long-distance photography -- and I've actually been surprised by what it can do! Without an image stabilizer, non-tripod shots are limited (in low light; bright shots are usually fine). But when I took this lens to an Ultimate Frisbee game, I was shocked by how clear some of the action shots were, even on an overcast day. The only downsides to this lens are the size (It's huge! But it makes me look more professional... *wink*) and the focusing (which can be a bit slow; but it hasn't caused any problems so far). However, the lens seems quite sturdy and rugged, which is wonderful! Overall, I'm very pleased with the lens, and you can't beat the price!

I am very satisfied with the ease of mounting lens and use. Close ups and zoom shots are great. Been using it almost everyday since I bought it in late August. Very good buy for its price.

I've used this product to cover events for which it does an excellent job. I couldn't have asked for a better priced zoom lens and it was everything I was hoping it would be.

This is a great lens to start out with! It's kinda slow to zoom if your in a hurry. I haven't had any problem with blurring yet!

I like this lens, has great color, good bokeh, and is sharp. My only con, and this is big, it focuses sooooooo slowly. And I mean, slow.

Bought this for a Canon EOS Rebel XSI that will get rough use. Obviously not the fastest lens, but works perfectly for daytime, and is a great bargain.

I shoot with a three 35mm slr bodies, and 1 dslr body,along with 6 lenses, 3 flash units, a flash bracket, all sorts of diffusion accessories, and flash cables, this lens fits into many of my frequently shot photography categories.

I bought this lens about one year ago, and I'm very pleased with it. It has a nice depth of field, sharp contrast on medium range distances, but a slow focus mechanism. At this price, I cannot complain.

Bought this lens from a friend when I wore out my Canon USM lens. (He had only used it twice since he bought it) I have had the lens over a year and have used it as my main lens for model photography. Within a year I have shot over 90, 000 images with it and and is still kicking.

I've been using this lens pretty happily for almost a year now and my only complaint is that it's heavy. I get great shots from far away, so flora and fauna can be captured close up even though I'm not.
