    Great telescopic lens for beginners like me. Store associate brought it to my attention and got a great deal with the canon 80d.

    With STM stabilization it's almost impossible to blur a photo. The very fast autofocus is great for sports and wildlife photography.

    I have had it for a month, so can speak on it's longevity. But it takes crisp pictures and does a good job zooming.
