Excellent all purpose lens
6 of 6 found this helpful Excellent lens for the casual or even serious amateur photographer that doesn't want to carry a large camera bag around for those times when you want to have your camera with you but just don't know what you want to shoot. As another reviewer wrote, yes, there are better lenses out there which cost a lot more, but unless you make your living from photography, there really is no need to spend several thousand dollars when several hundreds gets you something that will give you very respectable results. And remember, its not the equipment that makes a good image, its the person taking the picture.
My personal reason for using/liking this lens is that I do a lot of salt water sailing regattas and fortunately usually am in very close proximity to the boats. This lens is perfectly suited for this specific situation. One lens covers almost everything (I do carry Canon's inexpensive 75-300mm just in case I need that extra range). And if the lens does get damaged, I haven't lost a lot of money. (Ditto for the 75-300).
As for the images, the only negative with the particular lens that I have is that at the shorter focal lengths, say below 25mm, vignetting becomes apparent. Generally this is not a problem, as I'm shooting wider to counteract boat movement and crop down afterwards.
And as others have noted, this is NOT a light weight lens. After 8 hours of taking photos, it does get heavy.
Again, great all purpose lens that won't bankrupt you.
