Great Walk Around Lens

"This was my first lens for my XTi and it has done very well. I am now an assistant wedding photographer, finding myself using the 70-200L 2.8 and the 24-70L 2.8 for most of my work, but this lens has been a great walkaround lens.

a very consumer all around lens

"Use this lens on my Xsi. I just took it to Hawaii last week. It took some awesome photos. I took it on the all day tour of Pearl Harbor. The lens gets a little heavy but it wasn't too bad. The colors came out vivid and the focus is sharp and fast. "
