Great Lens! How did I live without it

This lens is exactly what I need for doing interior house shots. I can get a whole room in one shot! I was also amazed when I used it at a garden and it takes great wide angle shots. I will use it more for landscapes and a carry around lens when traveling

Once I bought this lens, it always...

Strengths: Extremely quiet and fast focus due to it's special USM design. Internal zoom and anti dust design make it function under nearly all environment. Super UD glass guarantees the best image clarity.

Weakness: I can't find any. Somebody said the lens is not fast enough (F4 L). But how frequently do I need F2.8?

Once I bought this lens, it always stays on my 10D and 20D. The best deal for digi cameras with 1.6 factor. From any angle, this lens is worth buying.

Pefect for Landscapes

Strengths: Quality, very sharp

Weakness: price

The lense is pefectly sealed like any other L lens and during my trip to Grand Canyon and espcially Antelope Canyon no sand or dust found their way in. I also took it to my Mt Whitney hiking trip and it produced...

Strengths: Extremly sharp images, very fast autofocus

Weakness: none

I've been using the DRebel for over a year with a Canon 28-135IS. I was needing a lens with a wider angel and picked up this lens due to its great reviews. I was not disappointed. The image quality is just stunning and with the 1.6 crop factor of the DRebel results in a very usable wide angle range. The autofocus of this lens is extremly fast. My 28-135 has been replaced by this as my everyday...

This lens is well constructed. It...

Strengths: Sharp images. Solid construction. Constant maximum aperture (F4.0) through zoom range.

Weakness: Not found so far.

This lens is well constructed. It feels solid in hand.
Pictures are sharp. Focusing is fast. Color and contrast are superb. Excellent choice for Canon digital SLRs
with 1.6x sensor (10D, 20D, etc). I had some pretty nice enlargements coming out of it.
