It zooms in on everything. I can take pictures of movement.

I use this lens on my Canon T1i and have never been able to get a sharp picture from it out without any post processing of the RAW file. It's not a bad lens for the beginner by any means but it's nothing really worth raving about. If you plan on making large prints (anything past 8x10) this is not the lens for you. It's very soft when you start getting into larger size images. I really can't stress the softness enough. Great for a beginner looking to experiment, bad for anyone who wants to take serious quality photos.

This lens combined with the shutter speed of camera, great for my daughter's 11v11 soccer games!!!

I wanted a bigger lens for my camera and this was perfect!

The quality is very good for a non image stabilized lens.

This was my first lens I got for my camera and it was a great purchase. I'd heard that it wasn't a good lens because it doesn't have Image Stabilization, but I really like it and it's great for general photography.

Great sports shots ... long distance shots -- very stable -- very clear.

Got it on a special. Wouldn't buy it for full price. If your not using a monopod or tripod to stabilize it or if its not a perfect sunny day, its not worth it. Luckily I have both and it works very well in cloudy evenings with a pod. Feels really nice, good plastic.

I managed to get a lot awesome pictures out of this Len but it not Image Stabilizer where you can control the shift of movement in your hand. So my chances of get a good picture are a lot lower and received a lot blur picture due to sensitive hand movement. This will require you use tripod often.

This lense was just the icing on the cake for me. I love the size and quality of the build on this lense.

You do not need the one with the image stabilization. This one is just fine as is.

This is a must have if you are buying a DSLR camera. The zoom on the lens that comes with the camera just won't quite do the trick. I like the fact that if I do upgrade my canon, this lens will still work.

I used this lens to photograph the shuttle launch and it had a very difficult time with the autofocus. This was awful considering the event was so quick. I was very disappointed by the quality of this lens compared to other Canon lenses I have. I suppose... you get what you pay for! I should of got the more expensive lens.

My wife likes this lens and would buy it again. Buy It!

Bought as gift and no complaints so far. Son said he loved it

Included in camera package deal which made taking pictures right away very convenient.

its kind of hard to use auto focus when the object doesnt focus on the right object

Seems to be a really good lens i just dont use it a whole lot its quite a bit harder then the smaller lens to use

Only used this lens once and it is awesome!! I would definately recommend!

this is a great lens, but it does not have an image stabilizer which would be nice to have with a lens this size
