Pros:
|
Good general purpose wide-angle zoom. Better than average sharpness. Built like a tank.
|
|
Cons:
|
A little on the heavy side. 77mm filters get expensive. Doesn't work well with pop-up flash (lens shading)

I've been using this lens for over a year. It does a pretty good job in most situations. My biggest complaint is it feels like a boat anchor. Second biggest complaint is that it isn't a good lens for indoor shooting unless you're using a speedlight. It will shadow your images using the pop-up flash. I've got some good results with this lens making landscape shots though. When I head to the mountains, it is always in my bag and will always get used.

Another must have prime for the budget minded. It's very sharp and weighs nothing. There is no reason a Canon owner shouldn't have this lens.

What more can you ask for this price. Add a prime to your collection and pick this lens up. You won't regret it.
