Strengths: Afordable lense, practical zoom range, IS
Weaknesses: Not a close to the sharpness of L lens, not usable with digital SLR as wideangle at 28mm..
Review:  After using this lens for 2 months I'm pretty satisfied overall with this lens as general purpose zoom. However if you’re looking for sharpness or high quality of L lens, you better prepare to spend more money. 28 mm wide angle it’s not very useful because I’m using with Canon 10D and have to multiply by 1.6 giving me effective zoom range 44-216mm ok but effectively eliminate wideangle...

A sharp and solid lens to recommend for all Nikon Pros
Strengths: Durable, Sharp Focus, Strong Construction
Weaknesses: Almost twice more expensive than its Canon counterpart
Review: As with all nikon pro glass the construction build is of great quality. It is durable and easy to handle. The lens zooms really smoothly. Lens is extremely sharp especially in the center focus areas. The bokeh is wonderful at the wide apertures. The only true negative as usual, is the high price, almost twice more expensive than its Canon counterpart.

A perfect general purpose lens
Strengths: IS, 11x zoom, picture quality, L lens
Weaknesses: Heavy, high price
Review: I just got the lens on April 24, 06. It is heavy. Especial when you attach it on 5D with 580EX. I can't hold them all with one hand over one minute. I must use two hand to control them. The IS function is amazing, it really works. Now I only have taken photo indoor because of the weather.I think the lens is great for any purpose.

good midrange lens
Strengths: Sharp wide-open, good zoom range, 400D focuses well with it
Weaknesses: a little slow and geez not exactly cheap...plus 24mm ain't 17mm
Review:  I'm trying this out of desperation after going through the 17-85F4-F5.6 IS, the 17-55 F2.8IS and the 28-135 F3.5-F5.6 IS. It seems to hit on a few points but it is definitely going to cost you an ISO step. I'm trying to extend the usability of the Rebel XTi, make it more of a "well-rounded" camera...the loss of 17mm wide-angle is painful, this is not all that close to 17, much...

Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Standard & Medium Telephoto Lens

Strengths: Image quality, fast and silent AF, very wide aperture
Weaknesses: Price, no macro capability
Review:  This is a great general purpose portrait lens. It's long enough for a head-and-shoulders shot (without the subject's nose looking exaggerated), but still short enough to frame several people at a reasonable distance. Distortion is almost non-existant. Sharpness at f/1.8 is good, and at 2.5 and wider is excellent. Contrast is great. Flare is well controlled. The front thread is 58mm, so...

Just take a look
Strengths: said above
Weaknesses: price, weight, dark corners at 70mm
Review: I can't believe it's Canon lens, it seem worst than Sigma. The lower corners become black after contrast adjustment. If I knew, i wouldn't pay my bloody money for this heavy zoom.

Strengths: quality construction great optics
Review: Top quality at a reasonable price. I use this with a Canon D60 EOS Digital camera and results are professional in quality. Would be nice to have image stabilization and a 2.8 vs a 4 but these come at a high cost. If you can live with F4 then this is the lens to buy in the 70-200mm range! With the 1.6 ratio of the D60 it turns into a 112-320mm lens.

Strengths: sharpness, speed of focus
Weaknesses: low light (ie. not sunshine) -- has difficulty with focusing
Review: I would recommend NOT using a filter on this lens. I know, I know, but with a macro, you have ultra-sensitive focus points. If you're outside, this is a GREAT lens!!

a good marker on the road to the perfect EF-S lens
Strengths: Speed and focus accuracy, image quality, sharpness, moderately priced
Weaknesses: 55mm is a little short but for about 80% of the shots that I want to take it is long enough
Review:  First, I would rather have something more like a 20-135. Beyond that this lens is the best that I have tried out of the 17-85 F4 and the 28-135 F3.6. I think the F2.8 is almost required to get decent focus accuracy and reliability. It may not need to be a *constant* F2.8 but at least at the wide angle it should be F2.8. The short porch is very nice, makes it easy to shoot whatever you are...

Review: I bought this lens for it's speed (f/1.4) and I was not disappointed. This lens delivers in any kind of light and is extremely sharp edge to edge. It is a little pricey ($299 at Ritz) but I would definitely purchase it again.

Strengths: Well Made - Fits All Sony DSLRS - Relatively Compact Lens Price Performance is Great
Weaknesses: Be aware of the light requirements for indoor shooting
Review:  The lens is mated to a Sony A100 DSLR camera. It replaced the factory Sony 18-70mm lens. The flexibility of a zoom lens this size is just great. Much less time is needed to adjust photos when you can use the zoom to frame your shots so much better. Outdoor activity is a great match to the lens, once you review the detail of the photos on your PC you will be quite happy. I use it as an everyday...

review for Canon Wide Angle EF 35mm f/1.4L
Strengths: Excellent Build Good low light performance Consistent performance
Weaknesses: Price Starting to show its age.
Review: The build quality and heritage of his lens is unquestionable and for full frame sensors or 35mm, it is still in the top flight. As a standard prime on a cropped sensor dSLR it will do a good job, but might just be out-performed by some of the younger opposition.

Tamron 28-300mm Di Macro AF Lens for Canon EOS

Weaknesses: hard to focus low-light situation, no image stabilizer.
Review:  I bought this lens for my first Digital SLR camera, Canon Rebel XT 350D. Canon 28-300mm lens just too much for me ($2100), and I was told Sigma 28-300mm lens have AF problem with canon camera (not confirmed). So seems this Tamron lens is my only choice. Over all, this is a very nice lens, everything I need for a beginner SLR camera. But it would be even nicer, if it has Image Stabilizer, since I...

Review:  I was torn between the Nikon 12-24 and this lens for my DX ultra wide DX needs. I chose this lens due greater angle or frame coverage and I am glad I did. That extra 10 degrees of coverage is actually a lot! I also was convinced that this lens is sharper than its 12-24 brother. The lens ranks as a typical modern Nikon lens with good sharpness and good color saturation. For me, one small drawback...
