Get the IS version if you can afford it--not the best of Canon's offerings

Date of Review:  Apr 7, 2005
The Bottom Line: There are better choices. If you need high focal length a single lens may be a better choice. Not up to Canon's usual high standards.
Review: I bought this lens at the same time I bought my digital rebel body because I wanted a somewhat long zoom for shooting the tigers at busch gardens (from several hundred feet up on the bridge). For what I wanted it for, 300mm just isn't quite enough...

My only lens

Date of Review:  Sep 5, 2002
The Bottom Line: Fun lens for closeup and distance photography
Review: This is currently my only lens! It is a little bit big for taking close pictures (min focal length is about 5 ft). I think the only other lens I need is a short focal length lens (24mm to 50mm). The lens is physically large but works great! The...

A solid higher-end consumer lens

Date of Review:  Mar 9, 2005
The Bottom Line: Strikes a very good balance between weight, cost and optical performance.
Review: Its always hard to get the perfect lens. Especially if you don't want to spend a ton of money.

In the "ton of money" catagory, you have Canon's "L" lens series. Generally, the prices start at $1000 and go up from there. Even if you do have...

Lens reliability - possible design error?

Date of Review:  Mar 23, 2004
Review: Both my Cannon lenses suffered the following problem after 3 year of use: the zooming gets blocked, focusing does not always work. A screw fell out inside the lens, blocking mechanical elements.
My lenses:
Cannon EF 28-135 IS/USM

Buy with image stabilization, or buy a super-zoom

Date of Review:  May 10, 2000
Review: I bought this lens when I was new to photography, and it was *not* a good choice. It was inexpensive, but it has some real drawbacks. It's cheaply made. The zoom creeps out when the camera points down. The front element rotates when focusing. Poor...

Cheap zoom lens from canon

Date of Review:  Apr 16, 2004
Review: I bought this one used in like new condition from Bay. Slapped the lens to my Elan 7 body, and boy, this is slow.
USM is not ring type, so it's very slow. If you want to save money get the one without USM.
Picture quality is acceptable at...

Good for the price.

Date of Review:  Sep 16, 2003
Review: This is a good quality, entry-level camera lens which provides a wide zoom range. I purchased it along with my EOS 10D, and after shelling out the $$$ for the camera, my budget limited me to lower-priced lenses to begin with.
The lens has...

For the price, not a bad lens.

Date of Review:  Mar 28, 2008
The Bottom Line: At this price point, it's a great lens. Don't expect too much of it, and you won't be disappointed. It's a great telephoto zoom for most users!
Review: If you have a Canon Digital SLR, and just the kit lens that it came with, there is no doubt that you will sometime find yourself wishing that you had more zoom. Face it- That 18-55 that the camera came with just doesn't get you up close- where you...

The hidden gem of the Zuiko Digital line!

Date of Review:  Jul 17, 2006
The Bottom Line: Superb sharpness and macro performance for the price. Unless you require a weatherproof lens, this one is a no-brainer.
Review: Continuing my review series of Olympus Zuiko Digital lenses for the Four Thirds system digital cameras, I've chosen to review the ZD 35mm macro lens. This lens is part of the "budget" range of lenses, and is currently the only lens capable of 1:1...

Reach out for a good shot . . .

Date of Review:  Jul 18, 2003
The Bottom Line: Changing rooms, lighting, etc. makes your photos suffer. Nonetheless, this is a good lens for the money you will pay.
Review: Well, what can I say about this lens?

First of all, let me give a fair appraisal of the good points.

-The range of this lens is exceptional. If you need to photograph a subject at long range (i.e. wildlife, portraits, etc.) this...
