    Cons: none for the money. 24mm would be nice on the short end

    Pros: obviously almost unused. AF very fast and quiet for its age. At first glance, not significantly worse than my 24-105 4L.

    Summary: I\'m currently using it on a Canon M10 with Viltrox speedbooster. So I have almost a real 35-135 on APSC with 2.8-4.0 Actually cool for the money. :-)

    Cons: On a crop sensor camera, the wide end is too narrow. On the long end, it is great. This lens has been heavily used, yet it continues to produce good images, as long as there is some type of stability to compensate for a lack of image stabilization.

    Pros: Excellent range for most travel photography. Excellent lens for landscapes.

    Summary: If you are low on funds, this is a very nice lens that does it all.

    Cons: no IS, much light needed, heavy

    Pros: Is a good lens in general, USM is silent, cheap alternative to the 28-135mm.

    Summary: Good value for the money, works perfect with my EOS 5D and EF-s cameras, if you use tripod it is great.

    Cons: no IS, much light needed (less aperture), no macro, sharpness isn't the very best

    Pros: light, perfectly manufactured, good range of focal length, USM, small for the range of focus, very little distorsion, it's an always-with-me-lens, perfect for the big numbers on the exposure meter, nowadays cheap and effortable

    Summary: Good value for the money, works perfect with my EOS 5D, great vlue for money of today

    Cons: Optical quality not too good, somewhat of a wobble, contrast not too good, aperture, focusing distance.

    Pros: USM (fast and silent, ofcourse).

    Summary: Luckily I got it for free, instead of heaving to pay fl.1000. It's not that much a great lens, but it has been used a lot though, so I'm guessing that's why the quality has gone rather bad. Other than all that, its a fast, fun lens.
