I haven't had the lens for long, but in the few times I have worked with it images are great. It is not too heavy and works well with my Canon 5D Mark IV.

I found this lens perfect for taking photographs of wildlife and garden bugs and bees. It is light enough so I do not need a tripod to keep it still, and I can saunter off for hours and hardly notice any weight.

The lens works great and it was delivered very quickly.

She loves how well it worked brings in features from way off and was clear and easy to use.

Shooting from a good distance, this does the trick. Responsive, clear images, can't wait to really put it to the test more.

I'm a beginner so I wanted a lens that could get my kids on the field from 50-100 years away and look good. I photography friend recommended this lens over the similar Canon lens that is less than half the cost. 75-100 pictures in, been very happy with the results. The lens is heavy and feels very robust, quality construction. Should have purchased it sooner.

I consider myself a hobbyist so my review is based on that perspective. I have been using this lens almost daily for about a month. I hike almost daily, so much of what I photograph is the outdoors; I also take plenty of photos of my grandkids, more so when I take them with me on a short hike. I was using my Canon 70-200 F4L is usm as my primary lens. I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark III. About this lens: I like it much better than my 70-200, it has a bit more reach and the photo quality is on par with my L lens. The new nano USM is amazing; lightning fast, accurate and significantly less hunting for focus. The bokeh is okay for a lens with a 4.5-5.6 aperture. I haven't really used the new mode feature that displays actual focal length (useful if you have a crop sensor camera), DoF, and IS info. I haven't noticed any flaring or significant chromatic aberration, and the color representation is very true to what my eye sees when I take a shot. For the price I paid ($449), this camera is an excellent addition to my bag. I wish the camera came with a lens hood and case, but for the price I'm not going to complain. I picked up a lens hood and neoprene pouch for around $20. I read a lot of negative reviews about rattling inside the lens. Mine isn't completely silent when I shake it a bit, but I have not seen any evidence of that affecting performance or photo quality. I have a couple of lenses that have some wiggle when shaken, including one of my L lenses. My question is why are you shaking your new lens like a cocktail in the first place? The other common negative comment was about lens creep. The lens has a lock button that I use when I put the lens into my bag, but I don't activate the lock when I have the camera out. I sling it cross body and have never experienced any lens creep so far. Overall, I am impressed with the performance of this budget priced lens.

I recently ordered this new zoom lens with image stabilization so that I could learn to take better photos. At last I can now take photos of wildlife and birds that are clear and sharp! I love this new lens and I now feel more confident with the photos that I take.

Exactly what I wanted. Handles easily; not too heavy. Works well for video. Footage thus far has been satisfactory.

My SO uses this on her 77D. Her results(IQ) rival my results on my 6D Mark II with my Canon 100-400 version II. And focus is lightning fast. So IMO , it is a great lens.
