Great lens, awesome Wide Angle & Zoom! Perfect all round lens. Smifu is definitely the cheapest place by far as I did tons of research before I brought it. It also got delivered in 48hours!

Meets my expectations with ease. Loving it.

Solid; it has a stabilization feature; allows a degree of freedom; quick response time and the focus is quick too

No issues

Love this lens I used it for 1 year now and it still works like new. The zoom lock feature and the placement of the switch is a very well thought out design feature. cons: it is a little on the heavy side. But balances well with any body.

I purchased this lense because I trust the quality of Canon products. I especially like the image stabilizing function on it. My camera and this lense are a perfect pair.

Durable; Good Value; High Quality

Expensive

I bought this to have a single lens I could travel with or to have my assistant use at weddings and it does OK in those regards. It is built horribly though. I've had to have it sent in for service twice since it was out of warranty, the lens has to be locked to keep the zoom from sliding out when...

Great lens for the price!!! Brand new lens (not refurbished). Lens normally $$$ elsewhere! Even on sale, it is about $$$!! Thanks overstock!!!

This was the kit lens I got with my 60D. I loved it at first but after a few months started to be unimpressed with its sharpness. It is not a bad lens just not great. I would have been disappointed if I paid retail price for it.

Great zoom range, multi purpose lens; will do most anything a beginner photographer would want to do

zoom creeps really really bad I have to keep my hand on the zoom ring to stop it from moving while shooting; May be my lens though as it has got a lot looser since I first started using it; If I point it at the ground it falls down to about 170mm; quite soft, can be slow to focus in lower light

Got this lens, because I needed a wider zoom range offered with standard lens, and rather pay for the std lens and buy separate zoom lens, decided to save money and just buy camera body and this lens.

Perfect lens for us! We needed a telephoto lens that was simple to use and also took great shots at the closer range, since we hate switching lenses. The bonus feature is auto-stabilization--absolutely saved many shots that we could not have captured otherwise, lacking a tripod. We love this lens!

Beautiful, smooth operations; Logical button/switch placement; Trouble-free lens swapping (if you have to--we did only rarely).

At the closest range, it is not a super-wide angle lens; Just normal, same as the stock lens that came with my Rebel T1 kit.
