I bought this lens on a whim and recommendation from a friend. This was the only decent telephoto lens I could find that wasn't a few thousand dollars. So far, I am pleased with this item.

This zoom lens is a must have to carry along with for some great snaps or as I like to say, if you are going to be out and about with a little comotion going on whatever that may be, and you do not want to be bothered swapping out lenses, yes, hook this one up and you will be good to go for the event!! And I may add, at a very good price point for the quality.

This lens was exactly what I wanted. I needed a lens in the middle between super cheap and the higher end lenses. This fit that. The zoom works really well. I took it to the zoo to try it out and so far from what I can tell the image quality is great.

I first used it at a marching band performance where I sat in the bleachers. I took both movies and still pictures at full zoom without a tripod. The clarity and quality were great!

I bought this because my tamron 70-300 lens decided to die the day of the super moon and I needed to replace it quick. I really wanted the canon 100-400 L as my next lens purchase but that lens was not in stock anywhere to purchase that day so I opted for this lens instead. I am very pleased with the photos from this lens , they are nice and sharp and the image stabilization is definitely a plus especially since my old tamron lens did not have it.
