    I bought this as a secondary lens when I purchased my Canon T6i as it was on sale if you bought the camera, I am extremely satisfied with it and would have been at full price as well.

    This lens does an excellent job at all settings. When set for image stabilizing you can use it at maximum magnification without a tripod. which is a benefit if you are touring an area.

    This lens is great for taking personal photos. I use mine to take pictures of minor league sports such as hockey and baseball and get great action photos from the stands.

    We can now take photos across the football field without moving. The students really enjoy getting those grimaces while athletes are in play. Good zoom lens easy to use.

    I use this lens for weddings and other activities that don't really allow me to be right in the middle of the action. The photos taken with this lens make it seem like I was though.

    By no means am I a professional photographer so this lens was an easy pick. It works perfectly for the just above point-and-shoot user. A good buy!

    If you have a camera you have to have a long lens to go with it. This is just the right size for most shots, indoor or out. Very crisp and sharp details. You gotta have it.

    Why have a DSLR without a telephoto lens? This one is fully compatible with my camera, and the image stabilization and auto focus work really well (a good thing, since the lens is a bit heavy for me for hand-held photography)

    Not a power user so needed a lens that gives me a wide range of choices and great quality without having to change. Thus does it.
