Canon stm lenses are awesome and this one is no exception. Make sure your buying the stm version and not the mark ii. The stabilization is better, focus motor is silent, and the front element doesn’t extend or rotate as it finds focus. Photos are very sharp at all focal lengths. I picked this lens up used for 120$ and I could not be happier

Even though I enjoy the lens, I have to admit that I bought the wrong model of it. I was looking for the updated version, which has a faster autofocus and is less noisy. I must have been extremely tired after searching the internet for a day to find one, that I overlooked what it said. Anyway, it is not bad in terms of sharpness, but I will eventually buy the latest model.

Excellent for the price. Only the tiniest chromatic aberration at full zoom. Telephoto lens starts where the stock 18 - 55mm lens ends. So complements that lens well. Only problem is not many camera cases support the extra length lens.

Overall, the value you get from this lens is pretty great. Compared to the standard lens that comes with most canons, it outperforms tremendously. The biggest con is that the auto-focus seems to have issues, especially at longer focal lengths.

Bought this bad boy about under $70 USD, and since then, it's pretty good. It's no "L" lens of a quality, but for being years old, it still produces good pictures with decent sharpness with it's F 4-5.6 range, and the pics are crystal clear for the most part, moderate for professional photographers, but amazing for those who just started.
