It's been around a while. I was offered one used, for not a whole lotta money, a while back, and turned it down, in the wake of a bad review. But, since, I've read some comparisons seeming to make it one of the best bangs for the buck - of ALL glass. Have I missed out on a great opportunity, or did I do the right thing?

I currently have the same lens, non OS, and I agree that it's reasonably sharp. And at f/9-f/10 it's quite sharp. Based on the photographs that Gene posted, I may have to revise my base-opinion to more than reasonably sharp.

And the non OS versions can be purchased on Ebay for less than USD400.

It's a bargain in my mind.

Think you're right, Jason … one of the better all-purpose zooms, ever made ….

For Canon


That one's damaged, Gene … won't work at any length but 200mm. Lotta money, for what amounts to being a useless zoom lens. Adorama really shouldn't be selling junk like that … lowers their reputability ….
