 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.
4.5 Stars, Really: Nice Lens, but... August 6, 2008

This is a reasonably nice lens for the price, and I've gotten some fantastic pictures using it. Some people don't like the "plastic" feel of the lens, but I appreciate the fact that it is so light.
Pros:
-55-200mm is a nice zoom range
-VR is great when it works, and can do wonders with panning
-light weight (light enough to carry around all day as a tourist)
-fairly short, compared to older lenses of this focal length
-lens hood is included
Cons:
-I find the VR sometimes takes time to "lock" onto the image- if it isn't ready, the image will "stutter"
-"plastic feel" if you care about such things
I'd just like to mention that I really like VR: it works most of the time without a problem, and the effect on moving objects when panning is stunning. It's just that once in a while, low contrast or less distinct targets seem to confuse it.
