Pros: Does everything it should, works great with Kenko 1.5 telextender still fully automatic. With the Kenko 2X it needs manual focus on higher settings. It covers a great range of telephoto settings Cons: Price, but a lot less expensive than the L series Canon lens Other Thoughts: I would buy again if needed from Newegg.com Good sharpness across most of its range when stopped down slightly. Image stabilization works well. Diaphragm blades produce smooth bokeh. Solid build quality. from Newegg.com LOVE this lens! I wanted to replace the 18-55 with a walk-around lens with a wider range. from Amazon.com Amazon had the best price, $[...] with rebate! Read the reviews and I can live with all the quirks that everyone mentions. Also read the review in American Photo and they called it the "Lens of the Year". I have this mounted on a Canon T1I with battery grip, (so we are talking about some serious weight), but found I can still take hand helds at pretty low speeds. from Amazon.com I was looking to replace an older zoom lens, and wanted something with a bit more reach. I tried two different lenses, this Tamron 18-270mm being one of them. from Amazon.com Short & sweet: autofocus useless in low light. Slightly longer version: I bought this lens because I'd had good results with its predecessor the 28mm-300mm Tamron, and I was hoping for something even better now that image stabilization is included. Unfortunately, I'm not pleased with it. from Amazon.com I bought this lens for my Canon EOS 50D as a general purpose travel lens. It's served that function very well, and at home I usually leave it on my camera rather than a more specialized lens. from Amazon.com I recently took a trip with my canon and this new lens in tow. I spent many hours researching for a new lens for my canon and upcoming trip. from Amazon.com I have had this lens for 3 months and have shot over 10,000 pictures. I am using the lens with a Canon 40D. from Amazon.com This is one of the best lenses I have ever used for my Canon Cameras. Excellent product! from Amazon.com
