 So so . . . December 3, 2008
Purchased June 24, 2008
A little disappointed so far.
The lens creep is more like a lens drop!
The outside shots are very good for the most part (how much is me or the lens!) I have some beautiful shots of weddings and outdoor events on bright days, but hit and miss indoors.
Autofocus not quick indoors and I had expected more from the IS feature.
In a brightly lit gymnasium, the shots were very dull and lifeless and I was unable to get anything good with movement of the subject. Wish I had had my 1.8 50mm Canon for that event!
I will probably sell and look for something else.

If you are looking for one lens for your D-SLR this is the one to purchase.Image quality is excellent except (as usual) at extremes of focal length. The IS works very well and really does allow you to shoot at least 1 and often 2 stops higher. It is larger and significantly heavier than the kit lens but after a few days you don't really notice it. As others have noted the lens does extend under its own weight when carried on a neck strap but it does quickly snap back wnen needed.As an amatuer photographer I don't see any need to purchase any other lenses in thes focal range.
Versatile lens October 29, 2008
Like so many others, I also had a loose lens body. Last year I spent the money and had the lense realligned, tightened and cleaned. It was worth the $65 I spent to have the lense back in pristine shape. As a result, I use it alot as a general purpose lens.
It takes excellent photos and is rapid in the area of focus and adjustment. I personally think it is worth the money....just make sure you have a tight one.
Great Lens for the money!! October 18, 2008

I would highly recommend this lens. I bought this lens specifically for a trip to San Antonio, TX and the lens did not disappoint. I took some of the best shots I have ever taken.
The only drawback is...the lens will extend while the camera is draped around your neck and walking. Small inconvenience for quality shots.

 Decent Lens October 10, 2008
From the perspective of a hobbyist/amateur, I can not expect more from this lens. Images are sharp, IS works wonderfully and USM is very quiet, compared to my old Tamron 28-80. No more annoying creeping sounds, just smooth.
One Drawback: When you pair it with a light body camera like my XT, it's gonna suck when you try to put it around your neck and go all day long, it's gonna make you tired very quickly since the lens causes the body to be inclined forwards.
Other than that, highly recommend!
