I searched the Internet quite awhile for a good Wide angle lens when I came upon this one. I struggled with the idea of manual focus but, come to find out its not as bad as it would seem. Your not going to fire off a rapid succession of various focal point shots but, if you want to do a landscape, portrait shot or really anything that just requires a good perspective then, this is a very good lens. The clarity in my opinion is very good. Sharp, clear photos. Yes you have to manual focus but, as a photographer...that's what we do right? In my case, I set up on my shot, pick out a focus point, digital zoom in X10 and focus. I get a nice clean, crisp shot. For the money I don't think you can go wrong with this lens. I haven't yet tried to bracket with this lens but, I expect even better quality when I do. The quality of the build on this lens is super. When you hold it in your hand, you get the feel of quality. It's not cheaply built at all. I didn't know if I would like the permanent lens protector but, it IS a necessity and gives it that additional look of professionalism. If your on the fence and looking for this type of lens I recommend you pull the trigger on this one.

Compact and lightweight 4x telephoto zoom lens ideal for shooting sports, portraits, and wildlife. The newly developed Micro makes auto focusing quicker and quieter. The improved zoom mechanism also makes zooming smoother. The front part of the zoom ring now sports a silver ring for a luxury touch.

I used this lens to shoot a couple of Eagles sitting in a tree. I actually stopped on the Hiway and set up my tripod. Zoomed in at full zoom and took several shots. When I got home and uploaded to my Lr4 I could not crop and get a clear picture. I'm new to this so maybe it was user error. When I talked to my local Camera shop they just more or less agreed that this lens was not the greatest lens. It will however provide great shots at closer range.
What's great about it: Great for zooming close
What's not so great: Picture quality not so good at full zoom.

This Canon T3i Rebel EOS camera is considered a great camera for entry level DSLRs'. I couldn't agree more but, I think your getting much more. Although this is my first DSLR camera, in my opinion it has all the bells and whistles anyone especially a beginner could ever want. For example the ability to fire off camera speed lights. I love this function as I am going to start taking Portaits. Use your T3i for a Master and get one or two speed lights for slave units and your in business. The battery life is exceptional too. I did however buy an extra battery as backup. This camera has all the "easy" features if your not comfortable with setting your camera yourself but I as many others suggest you start in "manual" and get to know all about ISO, Apature, and shutter speed. When I bought mine it came with two kit lens' the 18X55 and the 75X300 zoom lens. Both are great lens' but I quickly started purchasing additional ones to get more versatility. Don't be spooked with this because lens' can be very expensive, there are some that are very affordable. Everything you get with your T3i kit will get you up and going like a professional. If your thinking of upgrading to a very nice DSLR then, I recommend this Camera.I am completely satisfied and don't intend on upgrading my T3i for a very long time. Hope this helps you on your decision to go DSLR. Happy Shooting. Oh yes, if you like to Post Process, I recommend Light room 4. Great software for the money. It has a feature on it that can pretty much eliminate "any" noise from high ISO setting. I love it.
What's great about it: Everything.
What's not so great: I can't think of a thing that's bad about it.

This thing is really good for tracking your steps if that's what you want. You just wear it and it works. It's tough too. I washed it by mistake AND dried it. It didn't hurt it a bit.
