Very Nice Lens

"I shoot mostly landscape and wildlife with a 30D in manual or AV mode. I use a tripod religiously, so I don't find it necessary to have an f/2.8 IS lens which costs more than twice as much and is heavier.

I humbly admit that most of the time..." Read Full Review »

Reasonable first L lens, but...

"I bought this lens more than a year ago following enthusiastic reviews which were praising its rapport quality/price. It's an L lens, true, It's relatively cheap, yes; it's light weight also; however you get exactly what you pay for, not more. This lens is a good start for somebody who wants to get a 'cheap' zoom.

"I had the f/2.8 version of this lens and after trying it on my camera with the battery pack, I decided that it was much too heavy to use on a regular basis. I also felt that the price was very high for my needs.
