"This lens came with a 40D in a B&H kit. I thought it would do a reasonably good job as a general purpose lens and it has surpassed that. Images are sharp through the range of the zoom. While it is not as sharp as our Canon 100mm macro, it was not expected to be and is not called on for that purpo …"  Read Full Review »
