Standard zoom lens with an Image Stabilizer and high zoom ratio. With the... more

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 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.

Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM Medium Telephoto Lens

A Superb Lens
Strengths: Bokeh and more bokeh, tack sharp above 2.0
Weaknesses: Chromatic aberation present below 2.0, a bit soft wide open, deceptively heavy, even for an L series lens, slow AF
Review:  Canon calls this their definitive portrait lens, and its easy to see why. It opens to f/1.2, but more importantly, its sharp well before 2.0, so even with lots of bokeh, it remains very sharp. The 85mm focal length is also perfect for portraits imo. Unfortunatly, it has a fairly slow AF. Paired with a decent body (20D or above), it should offer great low light auto focus, but the drive itself is...

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...

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...

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 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.

Review:  I have tried other lenses for my Canon Cameras, but I have been most happy with the Canon brand lenses. This lens is no exception. I was looking for a good telephoto lens, but I didn't want to spend $3,000 or more. The 400 mm f/5.6 looked to be a good option. This lens has produced some fantastic images. I have been very happy with its performance. Couple the lens with a 2x extender, and you...

You do get what you pay for
Strengths: Cheap, light, small, good range
Weaknesses: Cheap construction, slightly soft
Review: Only 2 weeks usage, but I am generally pleased with the lens. It's not great, but it is a budget level lens, so expectations should not be high. Considered the 70-300IS also, but at 2x cost, did not think it was worth it, and prefer to have 55 on the short end rather than 70. Recommended, for what it is.

Strengths: o Great results & fun to use! o A perfect travel lens o Sharp as a tack
Weaknesses: o Should have included some accessories
Review:  It is because of this lens that I upgraded from the Canon D60 to the Canon 20d! I was sorely missing out on wide-angle opportunities, thanks to the 1.6x crop factor on these DSLRs. My 28-135mm just wasn't cutting it for my typical travel photography. Alot of missed photo opportunities. I had considered the 16-35mm L glass, but this was too expensive and still wouldn't be wide enough....

CANON EF 50mm f/1.8 Fixed lens
Strengths: Affordable, light & sharp pictures.
Weaknesses: If you need to use a step-up ring, focusing becomes a major hassle.
Review: If you're used to using a zoom lens with a...let's say...f/3.5, you'll notice what a great advantage is to be able to go up to f/1.8. However, it's not an "automatic" solution if you're in a very dark place. You better have a flash with you.

Review:  I have only had this lens for a short time but I have NO complaints.

Review:  I became aware of the 50/1.4 lens through a photo web.

Review:  I bought this new 70-200mm f/4L IS lens to take the place of my much heavier and larger 70-200mm f/2.8 IS L lens when I want to lighten up my load when hiking in the field. On my 1Ds Mk II, I find the quality of this smaller lens to be similar to its larger brother and I don't have a problem giving up a few f stops to save weight and size. I'll still keep the 2.8 for low light...

Good Macro Lens
Strengths: Excellent macro lens.
Weaknesses: A bit heavy and price.
Review: I had been looking for several months for a good marco lens for my digital rebel. After trying several marco lenses (sigma 105mm, tamron 90mm, and canon 100mm), this lens turn out to be the sharpest of all and AF is very fast compare with others. If you are interested in taking super sharp macro picture, this is the lens for you. By the way, you can use this lens as a normal 100mm lens also.
