reviewed April 12th, 2010 (purchased for $748)
- very useful focal lenght range (24 - 136mm)
- fast and silent focus
- image stabilisation (mostly sharp images with 0,5s exposure)
- 7 diaphragm blades (14 pointed star at night photos)
- sharp especially at f/8
Cons:
- lens hood not included (price over 30EUR~40USD)
- vignetting at 15mm
- CA (15mm & 85mm)
- filter size 72mm (only few lens with this filter size)
- price for EF-S lens, not copmatible with full frame body (550EUR ~ 748USD)
One of the best Canon all-purpose lens for APS-C sensor. Could be better with constant aperature 2.8 :-)
Highly recommended for user with no plan to future upgrade to full frame body.
