    Decent zooming ranges, easy to connect to the camera, and overall just a good lens. Obviously, not the best one you can get, but its still high quality.

    I'm not an absolute expert - just needed a solid lens to allow me to take good shots at a distance. Easy to use, responsive in terms of auto-focus and good in low light conditions. I was able to get some awesome shots of my son's play (dark environment, at a distance and lots of activity.) Met all my best expectations and was very cost efficient.

    The lens is great! It allowed me to zoom in far greater distances than the original/default lens my camera came with, and lets me get much cleaner images further than needed. I find it especially helpful when photographing animals.

    Great overall zoom range for most of my shooting and the focus ring is excellent. The focus ring is right at the front and it's operation is SO smooth. Zoom range is great, 55 to 250 focal length.. This lens is one of my favorites for my son's sporting events. I have also utilized it at NBA and MLS games ... definitely worth it.

    I’m able to get a great picture even being across the field. Even with just starting out this is one of my favorite lenses I have so far. Endless possibilities I have with this, as I was limited to how far away I could be with another one I have.

    This a good price for a telephoto lens in the 88-400mm effective range area. The size is also fairly compact, which can be a plus if you're carrying all your equipment. In todays world, it's almost a necessity to do so. It fits all the t-series cameras, which is also a plus. A good lens for the price.

    The optics on this lens are great. I love the way I can reach out and get the pictures of my granddaughters in action in their sports activities. The electronics mate with my camera for excellent burst pictures.

    I purchased this lens to go with my new Canon T6, and I am sure glad I did. The lens is easy to use, the picture quality is outstanding. The autofocus and lens stabilization in the lens are well worth having, makes picture taking with this lens easy. Very pleased with this product.
