I have had three Cannon Rebel, first was 35 mm film, Second is Cannon Rebel DSLR and now the new Mirror less D100.
This lens is a replacement for the DLSR. The original ceased to auto focus.
Works perfectly.
Thanks Canon, for the professional quality products and services since 1996.

Sharp Pics, Low Price

I had bought this lens for my SLR body, and overall it is a very good lens. The outcome of the photos are very sharp and I enjoy shooting with it. However, I do want to point out that ,under certain conditions, that the autofocus will not work or will go "hunting". But I do recommend this lens as a starter who has just transitioned from P&S cameras to DSLRs
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Super-sharp images
Cons: Poor build quality, hunting

Amazing lens! Great for distance shots as well as close ups. I usually keep this lens on by default. The auto focus and image stabilization is phenomenal as well!

Good starter lens!

I actually like this lens. But it's not my favorite. I've used if for about a year now. And have impressed myself at some of the shots I've taken. I've had the chance to try our a couple L lenses and the only thing that I think I have missed is the build quality, and the better apertures. I like the fact that it at least has IS. It helps in low light, but is not excellent. I find myself raising the ISO frequently to compenste for the small apertures even with the IS. I think the range is great for general purpose, although, it wouldn't hurt to extend it to 70 or 85mm. Basically, I'm glad that this lens is included in the kit, but if you are serious about taking good pictures, you will want to upgrade if you have the means.
Pros: Fast auto-focus, low cost
Cons: Poor build quality

I've had this for a few months and am very happy with the quality and value. Fine pics for a price that doesn't break the bank.
