Customer Reviews

There are plenty of good reviews on this, so I'm not going to get into too much detail other than to say it is WELL worth a couple hundred bucks. (and then some) I bought it, took some test shots and blew myself away. It's surprisingly sharp, even wide open! Now, if you step down a couple and pull back on the zoom it just gets better. around 2 steps down at 200mm seems to be a sweet zone for this lens (at least in the quick testing I did). IS is very effective, and the bokeh looks great. I had a seasoned shooter who lives w/ the 70-200L f/2.8 take a look at the test shots, he was impressed as well. So, its not just me.
I do have a couple complaints.... A: It is slower... focusing full range takes some time. B: It is slower... only f/4.0 at best, so you will be shooting higher iso, longer shutters etc in lower light. But, both of those are to be expected, so I will not hold those against the lens... just like inner focus would be better etc. It's a $200 lens, you cant expect $1500 lenses to not have anything on it...
Lastly, my biggest complaint is that it DIDN'T COME WITH MY CAMERA! Ok, not a complaint on the lens, but it's really an impressive lens for the cost and so far I love it. It's not an "L" lens, so don't expect to get the same results. But for $200, I would buy it again and again.

This Canon 55-200mm IS lens is a great buy for the price! If you are new to SLR or just looking for a lens that fits your budget, I highly suggest trying this lens. Recently I was talking to a professional photographer and his advice was, "With lenses, you usually get what you pay for." This Canon lens provides you with the features of a much more expensive lens. As a young professional, I was looking for a lens that would be sufficient while not breaking my wallet. This lens provided me with exactly what I was looking for at a fraction of the price of other, "better" Canon lenses. While the auto focus is not extremely quick, it still surpassed my expectations! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a high quality lens who is on a budget!
