Pros: light, crisp, stabilization, excellent quality / price ratio

Cons: front lens rotation, over 200 quality, af slow and sometimes insecure

Opinion: I got it used and immediately I was amazed by the lightness and the quality of the images. Cala a hair over 200mm wide open but closing recovers a bit '. I'm no expert but it seems to me that its better to be between 70 and 150 mm. I was hesitant to buy it and now I think all in all I could also take it before. Great start by spending an amount contained with results more than good.

Pros: Maximum aperture f 5/6 wide and good optical quality

Cons: Not suitable for landscape photos

Opinion: Good ..escursione focal smaller and the maximum aperture at the telephoto position, the upper one-third stop than other superzoom 56 instead of 6/3 also good stabilizer ... not supplied lens hood, it has not found a problem since for a few Euros suitable for those in the 18/55 and as a continuation of the great focal pure price

Pros: Price, sufficient sharpness and lightness.

Cons: Construction plasticky, not USM, focusing in low light situations.

Opinion: Good canvas to start with, but improvable contrasts and the engine af.rnAberrazioni present (are corrected in pp) .rnOvviamente gains in sharpness closing "a little" .rnScarso photo sports, nature etc. .. if you are interested to take a tamron 70 -300 ultrasonic (of course the price goes up) .rnBuono for landscapes. Change it when you take a 70-200 L. Useless routes through other homes (eg. Tamron, sigma) .rnrn

Pros: Price, decent sharpness, very low weight, stabilizzatore.rnrn

Cons: Finishing, plastic (but greatly reduces the weight), no hood, autofocus sometimes difficoltoso.rn

Opinion: Opinion: Using quest'obbiettivo for about a year, it's my first telephoto lens and I must say that I was very satisfied for the needs I had. With a low price photo shots rather sharp and well colored. Only at maximum zoom you notice any weak point, but yes is the minutiae for the object of which it speaks. For people who are new to the world of photography I recommend it because it really opens up a world!

Pros: Price, weight, focal length, stabilization

Cons: Over long focal lose, AF not fast nor silent, missing lens hood (sold separately), and suffers the contrasts in these cases suffer from a bit of chromatic aberration.

Opinion: Great lens to start, inexpensive and lightweight, perfect to carry around trips thanks to its light weight and compact size. If we look at the quality / price ratio, I think it is unattainable: a cost around 200 Euros difficult to get a lens so crisp and even stabilized. In time, however, when you try to take pictures a bit more "challenging" (sports, wildlife, etc.), shows its limitations, in the sense that if you try a crop ... pushed the boundaries a bit lost, but still a good buy to get started.

Pros: Weight and overall dimensions, price stabilization

Cons: "Only" 250 mm, TA quality, brightness

Opinion: It 'a good canvas, although the 250 mm often proved too few, but it is a perspective that allows you anyway Traveling to light and have a decent length. The shots are not bad at TA but closing at f / 8 earn much. L 'AF speed and accuracy is good (considering it is not a USM) and the IS from a hand if you do not have too firm a hand.

Pros: Price-size-stabilizer-very precise auto focus-zoom-to-weight materials for a good price like this

Cons: I have not found no cons

Opinion: Bell precise objective, the first time I used a picture of a race horse and the pictures came very well, thanks to the fast and precise focusing! Having a 18-55 the materials of 55-250 are excellent, as the former is its plasticky! RnNiente to say, and that is a great lens ... would recommend it to anyone who wants to buy a cheap lens!

Pros: Ratio quality / price, size, range of focal lengths, weight, bokeh.

Cons: Hood, af a bit 'slow in low light, in relation to any price.

Opinion: Well, everything is good or bad if it relates to its cost. According to this rule in question is the optical incriticabile. With 190-200 € (€ 130-140 new or used) you bring home a zoom from discrete optical quality and construction, lightweight and compatto.rnAnche when you exit where you do not plan to use a cloth, keep it in the bag is so undemanding that "it is worth." rnrnSe then compared to the various economic 70/75-300 you see around, all doubt disappears because this perspective makes his home in very good figura.rnrnOvviamente canon the 70-200 is a must with characteristics far superior but much more cumbersome and expensive .. Overall I would recommend this lens rnrnNel to all holders of asp-c. The inexperienced because they can experience at a very attractive price, producing, however, beautiful scatti.rnA who is experienced but often uses this range of focal lengths, would recommend to complete the outfit for an occasional use. rnPer who does wildlife photography can be a'Excellent back-up unit or to use in difficult conditions where the bulky and expensive biancone is less adatto.rnrnP.s. The lens hood sucks.

Pros: Quality / price ratio, overall performance at all focal lengths. Good bokeh and beautiful portraits. Stabilization.

Cons: Given the price and the focal range I would say no.

Opinion: Obviously, if you pick a lens from 400-600 euro up is no difference constructive but to have substantial upgrade in terms of image quality you have to climb quite a price. Sometimes sfocheggia, especially in low light conditions ... but it costs 200 euro, covering 200mm and you can not get a very good cut. Alternative in terms of its objectives "cheap" is the Tamron 70-300 VC 4-5.6 (than however it costs more), the rest to 200 euro there is nothing so good for Canon. The construction is kit lens but it is still valid, unless you smash it on a rock not to be broken by using it :)

Pros: Value for money, stabilizer, and focal length.

Cons: Materials, Over 200mm loses a lot of sharpness.

Opinion: And 'perspective inexpensive because it is usm, its lenses are not bad for what they cost. E 'equipped with an excellent stabilizer, and covers a good range of focal lengths, the AF is not fast but accurate it gets along with little light should be in trouble. Over 200mm loses much in clarity, it should be at least close to F8. One lens that I recommend to us a budget, when combined with the classic 18-55 provided in almost every kit allows you to have a good equipment at a reasonable price, if you want you do brisk business on second.

Pros: weight, stabilizer, focal length

Cons: sometimes hard to focus in AF

Opinion: Purchased in May to join him to 18-55 of the same series that comes with the 60D to cover quite a range of focal length without spending big money on a tripod or freehand, with or without live view, dall'insetto the moon, better grounded Manual focus is giving me a lot of satisfaction. Joined in May in Juzaphoto, with 39 photographs published, four are among the examples of photos taken using this perspective, and appreciated by some users, so I recommend it to those who are approaching to photography and / or (still) does not want to spend too much money. For now I have not had the desired amount required to use the lens hood is not supplied. Good "work"!

Pros: Quality / Price - usability is light and unbalances the little body - good for portraits at 70mm a good bokeh and blur pleasant - closup good, too bad the minimum distance is too high.

Cons: Motor too slow in sporting occasions and birds - for a hundred euro more the Tammy 70-300 has the Ultrasonic Motor and 45mm more, even if the focus is more raw and less pleasant - maximum aperture too high, it would have been better at least to 2.8-3.5 to 55mm for best blurred.

Opinion: I bought this lens on the advice of a friend who owned it. It is an amateur photographer and there has always found good. Using it in AF of birds and insects is too slow, you can not focus on them. In manual mode, of course, well behaved, in practice the focus makes clear photos, but not razor sharp: croppando 100% sharpness is not as pretty. The contrast and the color does not convince me always, with a good light works well. I recommend it to those who have a low budget, although other objectives would estimate used.

Pros: price, weight, good zoom, stabilizer

Cons: Low-contrast colors, minimal equipment

Opinion: As a student my budget was limited: D I decided to fall back on a telephoto lens of middle rank, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. for now I have always been satisfied and I never expected such a lens for only 200 €! ok, the AF is noisy, the lens extends far forward and this can often be uncomfortable and the focus ring is not very accurate, but it has other positive qualities that far outweigh the cons! AF is really fast, and some shooting sports was amazing, in my view, zoom up to 250 mm is remarkable and very versatile, and the stabilizer does a great job. I tried lenses like the 70-200 f4 IS and the comparison is totally unfair, but then again, to be a poor lens from 200 € (because if we talk about camera equipment, EUR 200 trifle!) Is superb! I still do not fathom the fact that canon does not provide the lens hood and case (supplied only for the L series, I think ...) but ok, with a few euro if they can find on the internet ... the only obvious flaw of this lens is the color rendering, unfortunately you can not ask for everything! I have to say that in any case, with a minimum post production, the results are more than excellent!

Pros: Price, Weight, Range of Focal AF and stabilizer ...

Cons: Hood not included

Opinion: A great all-round! I just bought it because I wanted to cover a zoom from 50 to 200 ... I paid very little and I use it a lot. AF fast and accurate. If you do not I would miss it! I was surprised by the quality of shots and AF speed. If you do not want to spend much and are looking for a good zoom recommend it! The only drawback is the hood, but the detail is a great do everything to bring it with them because if you remove a weight that you did not notice! Good light!

Pros: hike, price, size, stabilizer, weight

Cons: materials, sharpness. equipment

Opinion: this lens, specifically designed for aps-c, has a wide range that allows you to capture details even very distant. is economical, small in size with a stabilizer is very effective. images, although still good, but they are not very sharp, the colors a bit 'washed out and lacking contrast. is made entirely of plastic, but if, like me, you rarely use one telephoto zoom but you can not give to have one is the best choice. If you plan to use it often then it is better to buy telephoto Best (and dear ones at least twice ...), but be aware that there is more light and compact telephoto lens that. between the version II and I the only differences are some particular external appearance and nothing more. missing hood and housing.

Pros: Price, range of focal lengths and weight

Cons: quality shots TA hood and ugly and uncomfortable

Opinion: If you do not use very often telephoto focal lengths but I do an occasional use, then this lens is for you. I always carry as it is extremely light, I bought it used, with hood, still under warranty at a price of € 160. And 'ideal for shots with good light because the best results are obtained closing at 6.3 to 7.1 even if the stabilizer works very well. At full aperture, however, is not so bad ... Last note the hood, which is part and expensive: it is really plasticky, delicate and cumbersome to put on and take off.
