    Bought this lens to go with my T7i Video Creator Kit I purchased. Previously, I had the older model of this lens without the STM feature. This lens works much better in my opinion. If you are purchasing the Video Creator Kit, this is a great addition!

    I wondered about purchasing this lens, but was fortunate to encounter a well versed Best Buy Representative. He was extremely helpful and educated me about the lens features. Once I started taking pictures, I was pleased.

    The lens is great, and it takes beautiful pictures, however, I had a really hard time getting it to focus the further out I zoomed. I was very disappointed that some of my zoomed shots were out of focus. It was a cloudy day, but nevertheless there was enough light and contrast and the lens should've focused at full zoom range. Good enough for the price if you shoot up close.

    It’s a basic starter lens. Can’t beat it for the price. The quality isn’t the worst. If you’re in a bind financially, or you’re trying to find something affordable for starting out. This is your glass!

    This lens was recommended by the employee as being able to fit what I was looking for (a zoom telephoto for low light conditions). The photos came out less than the quality I have come to expect from Canon. Returned this lens and purchased the 70-200 f/4 instead. Yes the zoom range is smaller but love having a constant aperture of f4.
