A great quality lens for the price.
I recently upgraded to a Canon full frame camera and needed an EF-mount lens. I wanted a good zoom range and didn't want to spend a lot of money on a high-end lens yet, so I bought this 28-200 mm USM lens. After reading reviews of this lens, I was a little leery about the quality. However, so far I've been very happy with it!
The rotation of the barrel is smooth, and the quality of the photos is very good. I loaded the lens profile into my Canon camera and turned on Digital Lens Optimizer; now the camera can compensate for known deficiencies including chromatic aberration.
The noise from the Ultrasonic Motor is noticeable, but tolerable.
One thing I'm a little nervous about is that there is a slight amount of lateral play in the front part lens when fully retracted (28mm). I don't know if this is specific to my lens, or common to this model.
No, it likely can't match the quality of a Canon "L" Series lens, but for the price, it is a great lens!
