Great lens for the $
Mine had no problems whatsoever. AF is on point and very sharp. Great lens for the money, nice hood and case to boot.

HORRIBLE QC!!!
Well, I was excited about the review comparrisons between this, the Canon EF-S 17-85mm, and the Tameron equivalent.

Great Lens……Great Price!
After doing a few hours of research on these lenses I came to the conclusion that I wanted to go with the Canon 17-55 but couldn’t justify spending $1000 on it at this time.

Great low light lens for my Pentax K20D
In 2007 I bought a Pentax K10D with the standard factory 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens. In 2008 I upgraded to the Pentax K20D 14.

Good lens! Glad I bought it!
It is a really nice lens for those who can’t or don’t want to drop $1k+ on the comparable Nikon 2.8 lens. It has nice bokeh. My copy was tack sharp. Highly recommended!

A great lens for the price
This lens is sharp and accurate. Its functions VERY well in low light and in up close, macro shots. Its awesome to have a minimum focusing distance of 8 inches!

Just the lens I needed
This is a solid well made lens, f2.8, 7inch close focus approximate 1:3. I would like the lens shade to fit a little tighter. The pictures are great.

Decent, but not great
Been using this lens for about a week now. Overall performance is Ok. The photos come out fairly sharp. However, when I switch over to my canon 50mm 1.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing lens!
Pros - I had few lenses before, this is the first one I'm really happy with, it is sharp at any ange, I have a fixed 50mm lens, which is extremely sharp and bright, and 24mm lens...
