Low cost, small-size, light weight 5X telephoto.zoom. With my APS-C sensor Camera I am getting "field of view" equivalent to 88mm to 400mm Full Frame.There is Image Stabilisation to eliminate hand shaking and The STM (stepper motor) gives very quiet autofocus and even FULL TIME manual forcus overide even when set to AF. Focal length of 4 to 5.6 relatively slow BUT even my 10yo camera has ISO of up to 12,800.to shoot at lower light situations. Canon supplies "Peripheral Illumination Correction" data for your camera to make jpeg and raw pictures almost perfect edge to edge.

Cheap cheerful and effective - a handy zoom lense that has capable performance for not a lot of money. Prospective users need to be aware that it only covers the aps-c image circle and if adapted to M4/3 it cannot be attached by focal reduction adapters due to its EF-S design baffles. But maybe most buying this fro a non-EF mount duty will be more concerned with its effective focal length reach anyway.

This is a good starter zoom lens for people new to DSLR cameras. At 55mm it starts from the standard kit lens and travels out to 250mm, making it acceptable for nature photography. The stabilisation is good, and the focusing is quick. With an FStop of 4.0 it is not going to provide the lowest depth of field for portrait photos, however for the cost, its and excellent investment for new photographers.

This s a very versatile and simple to use lens that produces great quality images for the beginner-intermediate user. More experienced photographers will look for a lower F stop but for the money you'll pay, it's very hard to go past this lens. My only concern is it feels a bit too plasticky. The upside is it's very lightweight for a lens with a good focal length. It's a great outdoor lens and the image stabilizer works very well. I have several of these lenses in my various camera kits and certainly would recommend them. Don't forget to put a skylight filter on the lens to protect the optics from dust and scratches.
Just received the lens today. I took a few test shots and have to say its performance has already exceeded my expectation! It's light, compact, it's focusing super fast and super quiet yet the image is quite sharp and bokeh looks beautiful.
