 No Brainer August 29, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This lens is a no brainer. The value for your dollar spent is very high. This is not the sharpest tele lens on the market, but to get a significant improvement one would need to spend nearly 10 times the amount I paid direct from Amazon. Even at full retail price this lens is a great buy. Getting it at a very nice discount is icing on the cake.
I'm more of a wide angle shooter so a tele lens is just something extra to have available for specific events. It's not my walk around lens, but I have taken nice shots of the kids at the 55 mark. If you have no intention of getting Nikon's 18-200 then this is the one.
As a side note...make sure you buy from an authorized dealer (Amazon is authorized) or you may not get the 5 year warranty coverage. Amazon doesn't always broker merchandise through authorized dealers so make sure you know who you are buying from before you hit that last button. Amazon really did a nice job on this order. Arrived NEXT DAY even though I only paid for 2 day shipping.
Love it August 27, 2008
I bought this as a compliment to my 18-55 kit lens. So far I haven't had an excuse to switch back to the kit lens. The VR option is wonderful. And I've had a few friends with similar Canon lenses remark how much clearer my photos are compared to theirs.
Great Value! August 22, 2008

The short story here is the lens can pack some great image quality, particularly for the cost and size. Small means portable... I had it in my pocket on my last shoot. Stop it down a bit and the sharpness is right there. The negatives (noisy focus, low light, etc) are easily forgiven for the short money. Add VR and it's a 5-star.

We are "new" to the DSLR world, but I have to say that this lens is amazing. Really helps with amateurs and pros with the vibration reduction side. My dad is infamous for blurry pictures. With this VR lens, he finally took GOOD pictures!
Was at a Yankee game in the upper deck and took some great pics fully zoomed of hitters. You would think I was MUCH closer.
Thinking about purchasing another VR lens to accompany this.

love the lens, much less money for quality lens than wholesale...my son-in-law bought an off brand for about the same cost...not near the quality. arrived quickly. thanks.
