5 Stars Nice lens
Great lens. Usual Canon quality. I look forward to taking lots of pictures with it.
4 Stars love it!
I absolutely loved the versatility and picture quality of this lens!! love it, love it, love it!! Also, I received it a lot quicker than I expected!!
3 Stars not impressed
This lens came rattling in a plain box, wrapped in bubble wrap. Focus and contrast was not as sharp as I expected – perhaps the poor packing/shipping had some effect on this or perhaps it is a bad copy. It makes me wonder if this lens wasn’t the same one that a previous customer returned, since I remember reading a review that mentioned the lack of box and manual.
5 Stars Great alternative to the L glass
If you can’t afford to buy L glass, this is the way to go. I debated for a long time between this one and 24-105L and finally decided to get the 28-135 instead. Mounted on my 40D, I get results that are very close to my prime lenses. Not as sharp, but close. I’ve yet to have problems with autofocus, even in dark room and the USM autofocus is great. The only downfall of this lens is the construction – the lens is a bit wobbly and the zoom creep is present if you point the lens down.
5 Stars This lens came with my Canon 40D, and I like it – a lot.
I’ve only recently gotten my Canon 40D and, as I said in the title, this lens came with it. So far, I am really happy with the detail it came capture.
I added an image of a Downy Woodpecker to the images area and the detail of the bird is very good. I’m still learning how to use my camera and lens, but so far, I am really happy. The picture was taken late in the afternoon, in the shade. I couldn’t see the bird all that well. I had the 40D on auto and the lens all the way out (max mag). I used Picasa to lighten the pic and was really happy with what I ended up with. It sure didn’t look that good in the tree.
I guess, when I get more proficient with the camera, I’ll be able to take better photos, but with Picasa, I’ll be okay.
