Underwhelmed

I have to say, that after having used this lens for some time now, that I have not had the quality results that others have had with this lens. The older version of this lens was better, in my opinion...disappointed.
Cons: Slow auto-focus, Semi-sharp images
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I mainly use this lens for wide angle shots. I like the stabilizer, wish all my lenses had it. I am waiting to see how it does for landscape shots during the fall foliage changes.
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Super-sharp images
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchesed the EOS Rebel T2i for Christmas 2010. It came with this lense. I took it to an Auto show and the Pictures were kindof fisheyed. It's fast and good build but the pictures were as great as I expected becuase of the fisheye effect.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

this lens is awesome of you're a beginner and are just getting the hang of things. BUT since it's very cheaply made it will not last you very long, it's frustrating! this lens is not worth the $200. Save up and buy one that actually works.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not bad not best

The lens unfortunately is not enough for bird or lunar photos at all, at the 250mm end the Canon's precise image quality can not be obtained although the lens used with the super Canon 40D! As you know the 40D is made with super quality components even better than its predecessors. We use 40D for example, with other brand lenses for astrophotography easily.
Cons: Semi-sharp images, Poor build quality, Slow auto-focus
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
