This lens is FANTASTIC. I did a sharpness test against my lenses at 50mm and f/5.6. This lens was the sharpest by far, I was amazed by its ability to show the detail on the $5 dollar bill that I used.
The test was compared against the Canon Kit lens and the EF 28-105mm f/4-5.6. These lenses are not great performers by any means, but they are around the same pricepoint.
That into account, this lens is the BEST value in Canon's lineup.

I have the Non-USM version of this lens. I've had it for about a month, and it served me well in Mexico during a business trip, and taking photos at Christmas. This lens is perfect if you don't have much money, and will allow you to have a great compliment to the Kit Lens.
But there are better lenses you could buy than this one. If it's all you can afford, go for it.
