Purchased this to replace the old IS II version of this lens that had broken. I am extremely impressed with this lens for the price. The STM autofocus is completely silent, and the image stabilization is excellent. It feels well built and has no play or lens droop.

The camera is of good quality and take super quality photos. It is very easy to use and adopt very good with the weather conditions where you use it.

we purchased this to take long distance photos specifically for high school football games after the 1st time my wife used it I was looking at the photos and she had one that was of the bleachers across the field I could not believe that she took this photo from where we were seated great camera and...

I had a 55-250 a year ago, and also had a 70-300. I decided to sell the 55-250 thinking the 70-300 would satisfy my desire for a bit more reach without sacrificing image quality. After all, the 70-300 was more substantial in size, build, and weight, and the IS was nothing short of amazing.

Very happy with this lens so far. The image stabilization (IS) truly separates it from the other economical options out there.

Bought this as a "starter" lens with my new Canon 7D Mk2 and have not been disappointed. Allows me to learn with the camera and I have been surprised with the image quality. Got it with ￡20 refund from Canon and as such, its a snip.

I used this lens at a convention and it zoomed right in and was crystal clear. I have a Canon Rebel

I bought this lens a month ago and have used it at a few live events, very impressed with the results, even without a tripod. The auto-focus is quiet too. Great lens.

I purchased this used on Ebay for 138.00. I have used the ISII version of this lens. While I was impressed with that lens I must say this one is even sharper. I purchased this STM model to complement the kit 18-55stm that came with my SL1.

sharp; silent and built solid

Really nothing so far

I bought this lens a couple weeks ago and was very surprised how great this lens is. I was even more surprised on how great it did taking macros. This is one lens that everyone should have in there bag.

Consistent Output; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Nice Bokeh; Rugged; Strong Construction
