Cons: The plastic feels very very cheap. Spherical aberration is very noticeable.
Pros: I make razor sharp pictures with no chromatic abberation.
Summary: Unbeatable optics for the price. But why don't they offer the same lens with quality materials like the EFS 55-250mm which is also inexpensive ?
