    Horrible Lens

    This lens had great reviews for the most part. That and the price is why I decided to go ahead and purchase. Worst mistake ever. I don't know if I got a defective lens or what but this lens can't take a sharp picture at all. I've tried different settings, lighting and even using a tripod. Every image I take comes out fuzzy and grainy no matter what. I'm seriously disappointed.

    I returned this item because it's too slow focusing and too many blurred pictures. Instead I bought the latest Canon 70-300mm USM IS lens. I'm happy with this one
