 Great Lens July 7, 2008
2 out of 6 found this review helpful
I bought this with my Canon 30D. This is a great lens and L series is the best. I have mostly L lens because the quality is worth the money.
 Great on full frame, average on crop bodies July 6, 2008

This is a good lens, but it's certainly not great. Along with all other L-series lenses, it's more durable, weather resistant, doesn't rotate the front element. It has a virtually silent focusing motor which is a pleasure to use. The lens is light, feels solid.
But as far as quality is concerned, it's average. On a full-frame camera, such as the 1Ds or the 5D, the corners are much sharper than that of a 28-135, for example. But on a cropped-sensor camera such as the 40D or the XTi, you will not see almost any difference in quality between this and the 18-55mm kit lens. I've tried, you just can't. If you're trying to stay on a budget, look into the cheaper EF-S, Sigma or Tokina alternatives.

this lightweight little wonder is always on my camera, i really hardly ever take it off...i do however, find the hood a bit...much, that being said the feel and operation is obviously that of an 'L' lense

I bought this product for my sons graduation. He absolutely loves it!! He had wanted it for a long time and he said it was worth waiting for. Thanks for the great service also.
 I'm happy. May 28, 2008

I debated for quite a while between this lens and the 17-55 f/2.8 EF-S IS. I'm still drooling over that lens, but what it came down to in the end was my plan to upgrade to the 5D when, and if the Mark II is released. Of course, the other lens that could have made the decision even more difficult is the 16-35 f/2.8L, but it was way out of my price range.
I'm happy with my choice. The lens is well built and sharp. If I have any complaints it would be CA. This lens does tend to show a bit of color fringing, but nothing and extra five seconds in raw processing can't fix. So I guess that point is moot.
Overall, this is a good lens. Well worth the money. Especially at this price.
