this lightweight little wonder is always on my camera, i really hardly ever take it off...i do however, find the hood a bit...much, that being said the feel and operation is obviously that of an 'L' lense

I read many reviews about the limitations of this lens and the drawback of the f4.5 speed. I recieved this lens on Friday and I have shot 700 frames over the weekend. Granted it was a very nice weekend and I had lots of sun, but the pictures were AMAZING. Spent lots of time with the kids on the diving board and at the playground shooting various ISO settings and different shutter speeds, trying to get this lens to fail. Auto-focus very reliable and very accurate. I had some issues focusing close at 400mm, but there are two minimun focus distance settings, and I may have to school myself on that a little more. I shot images all weekend free-hand and I discarded about 20 pics, because of blur (my fault, not the lens).
Very heavy, IS seems to require lots of battery, it is a big lens, and you really know that you are packing a quality piece of glass. It does draw attention.
I am shooting on an XTI w/ grip and seems to be well balanced. I put it on my SLIK tripod and it was ver...

Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM Lens, is made by Canon, Usually ships in 24 hours. The list price is around US$3700.00. (*The prices are subject to change) Street price is around $2,305.00.
This is the best One-For-All-lens for your Canon body--as long as it is a 1.3xFOV body like that is 1DMkII, 1DMkIIN or 1DMkIII. For my liking it's too long on the wide end for a 1.6xFOV body. Versatility and quality are as outstanding as color and contrast. You can get pictures that you otherwise would not get without this one lens. The IS makes it perfect for almost all situations. A perfect travel lens and a great walk-around lens even though it is really heavy. It's my preferred lens if I don't know precisely what to expect. See http://www.meview.de

Great pictures and movies. Easy to handle. Not so good with little light without a flash... my previous old Olympus C2100 was better.

Canon EOS 30D 8.2MP Digital SLR Camera Kit with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens, is made by Canon. The list price is around US$2200.00.
People can show off their Rebel tsi and say it has 12 megapixels, but you can show off your 30d and say, "mine's not cheap plastic." This camera is perfect for a semi-pro, student, or just about anyone who can afford it. I warn you not to buy it from DBROTH though. They scammed me out of 99.99 dollars worth of photoshop, and I'm still trying to settle it with them. The hi-speed shooting is great for my hobby of shooting skate pictures. I think my customer image is number 82 or something. If you want to use it for landscapes, you'll need to get something with a really wide angle, because of the 1.6 cropping factor. If you're into sports photography like me though, it just gives your telephoto zoom lens a little more reach.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens, is made by Canon, Usually ships in 24 hours. The list price is around US$150.00. (*The prices are subject to change) Street price is around $85.92.
Ok, so I should have listened to the other reviews that talk about this being a cheap lens, but now MY 40D NEEDS 200$ IN REPAIRS because the rear lens of the 50mm broke loose and lodged itself in the mirror box. I received the lens from Amazon and it appeared to be in good shape when I placed it on my 40D body. However, when autofocusing (only the 2d shot) it made this really loud motor sound and the front lens assembly SHOT OFF about a foot!! Some plastic pieces were broken on the front lens assembly (inside) so it must've been fairly significant force. Anyways, the kicker is that I CAN'T get the lens off the body....it's stuck. Canon says they don't cover this under their warranty. The Tech at the Canon service shop says "there are signs of impact", implying it was dropped, which it wasn't! So, to get this fixed I am going to have to fork out 200$'s!!!! I could've just bought the f/1.4! Unbelievable. Don't, I repeat, DON"T BUY THIS LENS!!.....it's not worth the risk. Absolute junk.

Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 Image Stabilized USM SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLR's, is made by Canon, Usually ships in 24 hours. The list price is around US$599.99. (*The prices are subject to change) Street price is around $477.90.
The only virtue of this lens is the zoom range.
Chromatic abberation, highly abnormal distortion, and slow aperture above 17mm make this a bad value.
The new Canon 18-55 IS is much better optically. Even better, go for the Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 or the Canon 17-40L for a bit more. This is the worst lens I have ever used without a doubt.
Check photozone.de for detailed comparisons of the lenses and save yourself some money and get quality instead!
