This is a great all around lense to keep on the camera where medium light and zoom might be necessary. I've taken this on many trips because of the versatility and relatively compactness all in one lense. Takes great photos and the 200 zoom is very handy for my needs. I have used this for sports and does relatively well in bright lighting but use the 70 - 200 2.8 lense for all other important low light , fast sports photography shots as this lense suffers for fast low light. The lenses after 2 months creeps and won't stay in place but for the overall versatiitly and compactness I just use the lock for the lense when not in use.
This is a great lens. I had one for years that I broke beyond repair. Refurbished is now the only way to buy it. The refurbished one works just as well as the original.
I am sorry that I didn't order this lens sooner. I love taking pictures of everything. This lens is the best for a beginner, it covers up close and far away. It is fast and sharp, plus quiet. You won't be sorry if you buy this lens.
Very easy to use and quality product. I highly recommend this lens.
I don't use flash so I rely on ambient light. For shooting Portraits, this lense is very versatila for out door shooting when the sun is up and when the sun is an hour away from setting. But because of the f/3.5 to f/5.6, this is not a lense for shooting portraits indoors. It has also been a great lens for city scape photography at night using a tripod.
This is a great walkaround lens. It takes suitably clear and sharp photos and can go from sem-wide angle to a good zoom quickly with quick focus. So I like the lens. What I don't like is the lens creep. I've put up with it because I don't have the warranty card (don't know if I EVER had one!). Don't know what lens creep is? You know how you walk around taking shots, with the camera over your shoulder, and the lens creeps out to its max zoom if you don't have it on lock? Or, using the Canon 60D with its vari-angle LCD monitor that you can twist around so you can focus on your target while holding your camera up over the target - but you can't do that because the lens creeps down to full zoom when you want it to stay at 50mm? I've read this on other reviews so have sort of let it go. I have an EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM that I've never had this problem with. Trouble is, Canon doesn't have any other lenses with this versatility other than the 18-200 that I'm complaining about now. So wake up, Canon! If you can do a superb EF 70-300mm, why not do a superb EF 18-100mm?
I am pleased with the len to an extent. It is a heavy lens and the weight causes it to slide by itself. Auto focus is slow and inaccurate at times. Its nice to have so you do not have to keep changing lens. However, already looking for a new len to replace this one
Bought this lens with a 60D camera 18 months ago. Wanted something that would work for most shooting situations. Do not like switching lenses. This is a great lens for anyone that wants to use just one lens to shoot in almost every situation they encounter. Has worked out great. Have taken over 2000 pictures so far. Could not be more satisfied. Yes the lens does creep. Yes it is a little heavy. So far these have not been major problems. Would recommend this for anyone who wants to take great photos.
Many great things about this lens, zoom, speed of focus, compact size verses zoom. Once in a while the auto focus get's confused on trickier shots, but the manual override can fix that when necessary. It's a heavy lens and the zoom slides out when pointed down if you don't have it locked, which wouldn't be terrible but the zoom lock is very poorly designed and cumbersome to use. Apparently a screw came out inside my lens, which I learned is a known issue. Canon will be repairing it at no cost to me. If all is well following the repair, I would rate this lens as a must have for the casual to semi serious photographer. It's a "one-lens" solution for me.
This is Canon's first foray into the superwide to telephoto class of lenses. It still needs some work As the title implies, this lens does a lot, too much in fact. It suffers from the problems associated with long zooms: pincushion and barrel distortion, and the edges aren't very sharp at most ranges (around 100mm at f/8-f/11 is the best). It tries to be too many things and doesn't quite accomplish any of them. Also, since it's an EF-S the wide angle is about the equivalent of 30mm and the wide end is 360. It is a pretty light lens, though this is telling. Really good lenses are usually heavy. They use more glass and more specialized glass for better quiality photos. But being light, it is easy to cart around. In a perfect world, this would replace 3 of my other lenses. Pros: wide range. Light, easy to go hiking with it instead of all the other gear. Cons: sharpness, speed, distortion. EF-S so rebels and XXD only- no film or professional style cameras I would use this if: 1) I was on vacation and didn't have room or weight to carry my good stuff on board (lenses do NOT get checked) 2) If I was worried about getting my lenses stolen 3) If I was coming from a point and shoot background and wanted something uncomplicated but better than a point and shoot
