It is of good quality, but I won't buy it again.

I took a boo ideally for 12 k snatched, so the rules, for the full price, take complete nonsense Carcass 7D, taking a full frame does not make sense if it is not commerce or you are not the son of a deputy. Before that there was 5D mark 2 . This lens in sharpness is better than itself 24-105

Pros
  • Sharp, versatile, assembly, quality material
Cons
  • 1. Retractable trunk 2. Not fixed aperture 3. The price is not ice, not worth the money 4. 17-40 L - more interesting later

Has survived falls, sandy beach and swimming (without diving) in the Indian Ocean normally. Buy a good polarizer right away! Then the lens becomes magical. For me, it turned out to be ideal in combination with a 40mm fix. Got pros: good sharpness Very decent picture Both wide and portrait are equally good, the focal range is what you need Pleasant to the touch Quite self-sufficient for a long journey Great gift for a newbie With its cons: The trunk rides A little heavy for a staff…

Lens for your money. It falls short of L with its shortcomings. The picture quality is quite decent. Add L 70-200 and the whole travel range is covered. I did not find analogues in terms of range and functionality. Some pros: Versatile for travel where the city predominates. Very good from 24 to 85. Quality picture. From 15 to 24 is also good, but the barrel is present, although it is noticeable only when shooting nearby objects. The scenery is clear and wonderful! Compact, fast focusing. Used…

Bought in 2022 for 28500. Even for this price, the purchase was fully justified. Yuzayu with 550D. Sample photos here: Different pros: 1. Wide! The difference between 15mm and the same whale 18mm is huge! With the purchase of this lens, you don’t have to think about the width anymore in principle. This angle is enough for you. 2. Sharp. Really sharp. Although comparing with the whale from the 550D, I didn’t really notice the difference (they say Canon and 18-55 learned how to do it)) Cons: 1.

The best thing Ive ever used, a great item for everyone!

Has pros: Focus range, one of the best stabilizers, sharpness, autofocus speed and accuracy. Constructive - embled firmly, dust does not , does not play. Different cons: Chromatic aberrations (the benefit is corrected by one tick in the lightroom).

The best thing I've ever used, I recommend it to everyone!

I immediately bought a Canon EOS 550D for the carcass as the main lens. Very satisfied. It soaps a little and softens thecomntourscommpared to fixes, but as a universal "set and forget" zoom for an amateur, it will do. Photos will say everything better than any words: ? page=0 ? page=0 ? page=0 ? page=0 ? page=0

Pros
  • Image quality, workmanship, very fast focusing, UNIVERSAL focal length range, comfortable grip and well-placed controls.
Cons
  • Weight (for a woman it can be a minus), not a uniform effort on the zoom. Not designed for full format. But these are all quibbles.

The best thing I've ever used, a great item for everyone!

In terms of the quality of shooting - while this is still subjective - I shoot in the office from a tripod at one point, but on different lenses, I will say more precisely. While the feeling that the picture is deeper and richer incomlor. But I can be biased, well, a very Thing! Since I took a whale to replace it with a 600D, whencomparing it, I repelled it. In order not to be unfounded: There is a link to my site where thecomparison is posted. I posted picturescomparing this with a whale.

Pros
  • 1. Focus is fast. 2. It is very convenient that it is in the shortest position, it costs 15, and not the plus / minus of the whale. You always start with it when you get it. 3. In many reviews, they wrote that the tube leaves, if it is tilted down, it does not leave. I walk, so to speak, with exactly the effort that is required. 4. The outer lens is fixed. 5. Manual focus - the ring is exactly where you need it.
Cons
  • 1. Heavy and large. 2. Due to the diameter, the fingers slightly cover the built-in flash - I have an external one, so it does not soar.

Great quality, did not expect at all for the price.

It is difficult to write something specific for and against - so far I have used advanced soap dishes with ultrazoom-type optics, but the versatility is tired, the quality of the optics (and the camera as a whole), to put it mildly, is rather weak. I wanted to take something like 18-200 or 18-135 on the 550D, but after studying the "picture" from resources like the above, I decided that "we are not so rich to buy cheap things. " It seems to me that for the zoom it didn’t even lose.

Pros
  • 1. Good balance of quality and zoom range 2. The front lens is fixed 3. The trunk does not leave when tilted 4. The quality of the optics can simply be assessed here Actually, everything in the previous review is exhaustive, and see the quality of the pictures in the examples on my page.
Cons
  • 1. Expensive, but what can you buy for 3000-4000 or even for 10000 see the link from the advantages in paragraph 4. 2. Not easy to find a hood yet 3. On sale, usually only shot from the Canon EOS 7D, where it goes like a whale. But oddly enough, the 550D stood up like a glove without Back and Front focus.

I am not disappointed, the quality is satisfying.

It goes like a whale to 7D, but it will go well on both 60D and 600D. I really liked it, I use it with 7D and there’s nothing to complain about. 15-85 is a good staffer, and you can shoot landscapes, and even reportage. Another plus of this lens is that it smoothly closes and opens the aperture in video mode, not jerkily, as the same 70-200 2.8 does, and this is very helpful. You can talk about him for a long time, but in general 15-85, an ideal staff member for crop

Pros
  • 1. Good range of focal lengths, nice 15mm barrel. 2. Excellent picture quality, very sharp at f/8-f/11. 3. A good stabilizer, pulls even for a second, if the hands grow from the right place. 4. Fast focusing speed. 5. Quite fast, although it gets dark at the long end. The focus ring is where it should be, verycomnvenient to focus when shooting video. Pleased with the presence of a scale of distances. Quite durable, although not L-ka, which is a pity, he is not afraid of rain, mud and snow. Photo examples: ? page=0 ? page=0 ? page=0
Cons
  • Small HA, (almost imperceptible) but they are easily removed by RAW.

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good one.

Great staffer. It offers picture quality that is indistinguishable from that of the 24-105 F4 L when cropped. The only thing left to do is purchase a 17-55 f/2.8 lens for use indoors. And last, after you've saved some cash, you may upgrade to full frame ;) Various advantages include its sharpness, color reproduction, well-revealed 18 megapixel crop sensor (550D), universal field of view, respectable width, extremely fast USM, efficient stub, comfortable in the hand, price-quality ratio, and…

Those who admire "sharpness" most likely switched from unintelligible whale glasses (and corny have no experience with good lenses (not to mention top ones)), alas . no offense:) I used a Tamron that was somewhat damaged to replace it, and at first I was under the impression that I had purchased a faulty copy since the difference between it and the quicker and more affordable 17-50 lens from Tamron a was so obvious. I attempted a few more copies, but in the end, the seller went ahead and…

Pros
  • If "solid" solely refers to the (relatively) outward look. Okay, possibly a metal mount.
Cons
  • Price. Picture quality. Altering the aperture while shooting at varying focal lengths. Sharpness is not present in soaps, especially at that price.

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

Glass was used in its place to represent the whale (18-55). The primary use for it is as a lens for everyday life, as well as travel and architecture. I required a wide-angle lens (10-22 was dismissed as very specific). I will say it one more: you need to have a crystal clear understanding of the purposes for which you are taking this glass or that drink. Yes, portraits taken on it are not the same as those taken on ice, but there are workarounds for capturing serious portraits and subjects (I…

Pros
  • quality of construction, (in my opinion) comfortable focal lengths, and a broad angle.
Cons
  • Perhaps a tad bit pricey, but more on that in the next sentence.

The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

In general, a very successful lens, primarily due to the fact that it may be used for a variety of purposes. I was able to get some stunning landscapes, as well as a reportage, a portrait, and a macro image of it. The main problem with landscape photography is the blurry angles between 15 and 16 millimeters. After about 18 millimeters, the angles are much clearer, but this is only noticeable when looking at a large print or viewing the image at 100 percent. Even when viewed at a wide angle…

Pros
  • excellent sharpness for cropping and a very convenient focal range for reporting, light, moderately quick autofocus, af did not miss in normal lighting conditions, the stabilizer holds perfectly, a record of 2 seconds from hands without lubrication, and all of these features come together in a camera that is very easy to recommend.
Cons
  • In the proximal end, it lathers the corners frequently, and occasionally it lathers the entire right edge as well as all of the apertures.

A good product, more pros than cons.

I have been looking at this lens and the evaluations that have been written about it for a long time, and I have been debating whether or not to take it to replace Keith. As a direct consequence of this event, I found myself in possession of an extra 20,000 gold coins, and my irrational urge to play with shiny new toys ultimately triumphed over my more rational impulses, so I bought this lens. With some experimentation and direct comparison with 18-55 and 18-135 I am able to say the following…

Pros
  • + Flexibility + High-quality EF-S optics + Broad Angle + Rapid and Precise Focusing
Cons
  • - The cost - The total mass

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good value for money, I recommend.

Acquired in the year 2022. We were able to sell it really quickly. My evaluation is subject to certain qualifications. A great deal is contingent on the level of quality for which you are prepared to pay $18–$20 per kilogram. acquired between the years 18 and 55. waited one month before purchasing in a shop for the price of 18,000 sold after 6 months. filmed during a period of about two weeks. ✎ I have gone over several of these remarks. and made the decision to purchase. That usually occurs…

Pros
  • + compactness + versatility (although I must admit that I have already moved on from my love affair with zooms) + stylish build + silent motor
Cons
  • - pricey 72mm filters - price - unstable luminosity - Carrying around 600 grams might be quite a chore. If you wish to travel around Europe with ease, then the station wagon's weight should be increased to 200 pounds. It is lighter to carry a manual-focus 135mm in a metal case.

The product is completely satisfied, performs its functions.

For the full price, the rules are total foolishness, but I got a boo for 12 grand. If you're not in business or the son of a deputy, there's no point in using a complete frame on your Carcass 7D. The previous version, 5D mark 2, came before it. When compared to the 24-105mm lens it replaces, this one is noticeably sharper.

Pros
  • Precision, adaptability, ease of construction, and high-grade components
Cons
  • First, it has a trunk that can be retracted. 2 - not having a constant aperture Thirdly, the pricing is not cool, nor acceptable. Fourteen to forty Liters - More to Come

The quality is top notch, be sure to try it.

Only good impressions remained, I switched to full frame, I had to part with it just because of this. Different pros: Strong and fast focus. Good stabilization, it was possible to shoot without blurring for 1 second by shuttering. Convenient focal length. beautiful bokeh Cutting With its cons. I didn’t find it, but it’s a pity that it doesn’t fit the full frame.

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent product, the best quality.

Very happy with the purchase. Compared with the Elks and did not find a fundamental difference in the pictures. An excellent lens for the price. Pros below: The range of focal lengths is very convenient. I use it as a universal travel zoom. Sufficiently sharp throughout the frame in almost the entire range of focal lengths. Fast precise focus. After Canon 50 1.8 it's just a fairy tale. There is enough light. Well, the truth is enough, although I did not believe it. Some cons: Relatively…
