good all-around lens
3 of 3 found this helpful I love the range of this lens: how it can go from wide angle for landscapes to a pretty decent zoom. It auto focuses pretty fast and quiet. It is real compact and easily fits into small camera bags. The lock for the zoom mechanism is handy wen storing. The optics are nothing special but much better than a kit lens. The front head doesn't rotate, so you can use polarizing filters, filter holders, and the included petal lens hood. The build quality is sturdy and has a metal mounting ring.
The negatives are few but for the price compared to an "L" series lens you get what you pay for. The problem is the speed: The widest aperture is 3.5 in 18mm but zoomed to 200mm it goes up to about f6. This isn't a problem at all on sunny out door conditions, but if you are going to shoot sports indoors without additional lighting you will be needing a different, faster, L or IS lens.
Overall, I rarely take this lens off my camera, it works so well in diverse conditions. It's definitely worth the money, especially when compared to the prices of competitive zoom setups. I chose this one over the 28-300mm because I wanted the real wide angle for my 20D. If you take care of this lens, it should last a long time.

Not level, wobbly.
It doesn't stay very steady. Not because of the clamps, but because of the bar / handle / rail that is clamped to moves a little. It also tilts down a bit- not making the laptop level. I would get the shelf instead if you are tethering and want a sturdy platform. If those above items aren't a problem, it's a great build quality, and has tight clamps... for my purposes, it doesn't do the trick.
