Summary:
Bought this lens several years ago to go with a secondhand EOS 600. Wanted a simple point & shoot lens at the time. Being none USM the focusing is slow and hunts a lot. Image quality is average (2.5) and vignettes at 200mm. Noisy with rotating front element.

Strengths:
Cheap with useful zoom range.

Weaknesses:
As in summary

Customer Service:
Not used

Summary:
Great lens, it''s now my "all around" lens that stays on the camera all the time. Very fast auto focus, great contrast and sharpness. If you don''t mind the slide zoom and the focusing noise it''s a wonderful lens with a great zoom range.

Strengths:
Sharpness, weight and size, versality, cost. L quality glass.

Weaknesses:
slide zoom, mechanical autofocus.
