Covers a good range from wide to telephoto, focus speed is pretty quick for non-usm and accurate, you can get very sharp photos in good light. You can get by with one lens solution - great for non-pro users.
Manual focus ring is tiny and loose, not easy to use. The long end of the telephoto is shorter than 200mm, maybe 150mm?? Also, I bought new which is very expensive from authorized Canon dealer.
If I had to choose again - I only buy this under $300 on a special sale, or buy a Canon EF-S 15-85mm on high budget or an EF-S 18-135mm on low budget.
I've owned mine for a year and half and still use it. My copy needed AF Microadjusment and users of Rebels need to test their copy before buying or keeping it.

usm focus would be nice

This lens has a lot of bad publicity, but I'm very happy with this lens. Great for walkaround, travel and the kids at home.
The lens itself feels a little flimsy, but I haven't had any problems with it. Usm focus would be nice, but again it works well the way it is. Sharpness of the pictures is very good
