Good starter lens,
Decided to buy this lens after purchasing a [body only] Canon Rebel XTi. Comparing this with the Canon kit lens will reveal insignificant differences. Both decent lenses for basic still photos, but it really shoots as a 45mm-112mm lens because of the XTi’s 1.6x field of view crop factor. Next step is an upgrade to a wider view Sigma 18-200mm lens [[ASIN: B000NOSCGM]]. I’ve seen photos with this lens that are stunning. Canon lenses are excellent, IMO, but they tend to be overpriced for the minimum quality trade-off with third party lenses like Sigma or Tamron.

Pretty Decent Lens,
First of all, you are looking at a low end lens. Don’t expect to get the same results you would get from a $1000+ lens because it’s not going to happen.
I’ve had this lens for a couple of weeks and I’m pretty happy with the images I got from it. I bought this lens as a secondary lens. I use it mostly for family pics, or non-job related shootings.
Personally, I think that for the price you can’t beat it. It’s a pretty decent lens. You may want to check some of the images that I uploaded here (product images).
Bottom line. If you have big money to expend on an expensive lens, then go for it. But if you are looking for an affordable lens, this could be it.
