Opinion:I use it on a 7D, it's appreciable. Let's start with the concept that it is not a top of the range but it is designed to make the lens all-rounder and performs the job well. I also used it in low light conditions and found well-defined images up to its limit : obviously not a f 2.8 . To search for depth of field in valid light frames f 9 ; 10 and 11. Color yield and good focus.
Pros:Considerable as everything do, stabilization, light weight, used price
Cons:Lens with closed diaphragm, sharpness and in some cases chromatic aberrations
Opinion:I recommend it to an audience that is approaching the world of photography. It's a simple lens to use, and as good as everything do without too many pretensions. A more careful eye could see the little sharpness that there is on the lower diaphragms and some chromatic aberration that correctable in post production. To stay happy spending advice to buy it used that we can find it even under 200 euros.
Opinion:As a simple photography enthusiast I can only say well about this goal. I use it, with Canon 70d, mostly outdoors, in AV mode, almost always between f/7 and f/8. Rarely "can" a photo and if it happens it's my fault. I always got nice pictures, sharp and very contrasted. Shot in jpeg format, with minimal post-production. I report a more than good AF and a high degree of usability due to the range of focals among the most in use. I use it, sometimes, even indoors, but accompanied by the external flash Canon 430EX III-RT, with really remarkable results. From time to time, I also use it for movies with more than excellent results: their viewing, on a full hd TV, is excellent. I have read several negative or mostly sufficient opinions about the performance of this goal. That's not the case for me. Perhaps, I was lucky enough to find a very good specimen. Based on my experience, I recommend it without any remora.
Pros:imperceptible AF noise, wide range of focal excursion, sufficiently sharp
Cons:sharpness loss at the maximum focal length, ring nut for MF, weight
Opinion:I've been using this lens for 3 years continuously on my 500D. The wide focal length allows you to take advantage of it in a variety of situations (from landscapes, night photography, to wildlife photography) to achieving more than dignified results: in particular, the AF is totally silent so you can go completely unnoticed when you need to make silence so as not to scare the subject. It does not shine for sharpness, especially at 18 and 135 mm, but overall it is acceptable. The lens, compared to the other zoom, is quite compact and lightweight; however, its weight is not indifferent, especially if brought to the neck during long hikes. For this reason, I decided to temporarily set it to use lighter and sharper fixed optics.
Pros:AF speed, good sharpness, lightweight, good stabilization
Cons:Excessive distortion at 18 drops sharpness to the focal length
Opinion:Saying a good handy goal, aside from almost unusable at 18 and with obvious drop in the max focal length is good across the range, it is not "sharp" but well defined on all other focal points even at TA - For what it would cost I would say that I am Well spent money and would recommend it without any shadow of doubt. Given the previous reviews I would say that it is too underestimated compared to the actual potential it offers.
