Good zoom range & sharp, but vignettes & heavy front element I purchased this lens to go with my Canon EOS 20D digital SLR, which I inherited from a friend who unfortunately had passed away. The camera came to me with only a wide angle zoom, but most of the photos I shoot are in the normal to telephoto range. So I chose this lens because of its good zoom ratio, and it’s relatively compact size. The latter makes it a good all-around lens to travel light, such as on overseas vacations.This lens is really sharp, so much so that I can blow up a selected portion of a photo in Photoshop and it’s still pretty sharp. This effectively comes close to giving me the equivalent of a 600 mm telephoto (in 35 mm film) in a walk-around lens.Unfortunately, the lens vignettes (i.e. the corners of the photos are dark relative to the center of the photo). The vignetting is most pronounced in the longer telephoto range. It is especially noticeable with a background that’s uniform in color and lighting, such as a blue or overcast sky…
Actual OEM lens! But… AWESOME PRICE! Sure, it’s not official boxing; mine came in a white cardboard box with lots of wrapping, but who cares! The lens is pretty good; I’ve taken some pretty decent shots ranging from: sports photography, portraits, landscapes, and common objects!Cons: Hmm, don’t know if this is normal, but 135mm-200mm doesn’t seem too drastic of a difference; I’ve taken shots at both ranges and they seem to be nearly the same :(. Is there a defect with mine? Lens creep does come in when you’re zoomed at 24mm and facing the lens toward the ground.Pros: Great grip; the zoom bar is very wide and has a nice grip! The zoom placement is also very nice; you use your index finger to adjust the zoom! It’s also not too heavy either!Overall: Get this. It’s cheaper than an 18-135, and works just as well if not better!!Update: December 1, 2013. At 18mm you will be at f/3.6. 24mm you’ll be at f/4.0. Roughly 40mm you’ll be at f/4.5. 50mm f/5.0. 80mm+…
Excellent lens! I have been researching this Canon lens for a couple of months, both in stores and online. When I saw it here on Amazon, advertised for several hundred dollars less than everywhere else I was very skeptical of its authenticity. After doing some more research and reading reviews I decided to order it. I am so glad I did! It arrived the next day, shipped very securely in the original factory box with everything inside, including the product registration card and the CD-ROM manual. I verified the serial number on the box with the one on the lens and on the registration card, and then I registered it on the Canon website. It is an authentic brand new Canon lens.I am a purely amateur photographer who mostly takes pictures of my kids, my dog, and our family vacations. I’m using this lens on my Rebel XS and I love it! I was very tired of constantly switching between my standard and zoom lenses, and I’m so happy with this combination lens. It’s obviously heavier than the…
