    This lens came in a camera bundle at a very good price. I am extremely pleased with the way it works. I look forward to taking lots of pictures with this. The sales associates at Best Buy were all very knowledgeable and I would recommend shopping there to anyone.

    My previous EF-S zoom died on me due to the "flex cable" issues known in many of Canon's zooms. I'm hoping this one doesn't suffer the same flaw. To be sure I bought the extended warranty with Best Buy. It's a little sharper and faster than my old lens. There are better lenses out there for sure but for my budget and needs this one is great. So far so good.

    This lens, along with a 18-135, came in the kit with my Canon 80D. I really didn't expect to get much use out of it. I took it out the other day to play around with it and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. I'm sure low-light situations would be more of a challenge, but it was great for a nice, sunny day. I was shocked at the bokeh that I got from this lens when taking some pictures of my dog. Beautiful!

    I purchased this lens along with the more expensive USM lens. Found that this works just as well as the USM lens. The only thing is that the lens connector made of plastic instead of metal like the one in USM lens.
