    Posted by: from baltimore on 05/17/2013Cannot go wrong with Canon lenses. This zoom lens is great. Having a bigger aperture would make this 5 stars.

    Posted by: from Michigan on 05/11/2013This lens works great when taking distance shots, or even closer ups, providing just the right amount of focal blurring I was looking for when doing portraits.
