5 out of 5 stars Great wildlife lens!   November 19, 2008
putalittleloveinyourheart (Minnesota)
I have had this lens for over 7 years. I have used it with the Canon Rebel G, and will be shortly switching to the Xsi. This lens has a great zoom, and in good, outdoor lighting takes amazing, crystal clear, colorful shots. I shoot mainly wildlife. The detail impresses me everytime I get a shot back. This lens has made me love photography, and constantly strive to be better. I do not use this lens in indoor or low light situations. While I have never used a much higher end lens, I am very happy with this one.

It is a little slow to focus but thats all. I have had NO problems with softness.


4 out of 5 stars A little slow, but worth the money   November 11, 2008
Meaghan (Illinois, USA)
I purchased this lens with my minimalist budget in mind, and I must say that for the money, it isn't too bad. It lacks a fancy focus motor (i.e. USM), which makes it a bit slow and noisy, but you can't find a more inexpensive long distance telephoto lens. It is perfect for the amateur photographer without a lot of money.

I am ajusting and learning how to use this lens and where to use it. For example I wish I would have known to purchase a flash with this lens especially for night time use! This is my inexperience. Because of my inexperience I can not rate this lens appropriately at this time. The pics that I have taken (not at night) are awesome and I am enjoying the learning process.
