EF 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 USM

A handy, compact zoom lens for versatile and easy subject selection while travelling, etc. The highest optical performance in its class, plus the convenience of focusing up to 17.7 in. over the entire zooming range. The micro USM drive provides silent, high-speed autofocusing, plus the wide zooming range provides an easy, enjoyable picture-taking experience. Sample Image MTF Charts

best buy I've ever made
Date: May 9, 2009
Pros: Super-sharp images, Fast auto-focus
This is the lens I use for nearly all my shooting- great range and super sharp. Excellent value. I have longer lenses, but whenever possible I use this one. I've enlarged and inspected prints and have never owned a lens this sharp.

Not lugging around the "L"
Date: January 26, 2009
Pros: Super-sharp images
Cons: not "entirely" superior build quality
I grabbed this lens for convenience and low price. It has turned into my absolute favorite pieve of glass. The range is essentially everything I need on a daily basis. There are other lenses with a more prestine output, but if your concerned about carrying around a massive monetary investment don't hesitate to grab this lens. Price, while a factor, really doesn't decrease the quality of this lens.

Good one to cover closeups to wideangles
Date: November 28, 2008
Pros: Fast auto-focus
Cons: heavy
It is one good range which makes a bridge between the telephoto and wideangle shots.
I have this lens for over a year and find this lens pretty handy to pick up any type of snap and in any situation.
