I'm a relative newbie to the photography world and received this lens as a gift shortly after purchasing my digital SLR camera (Canon Rebel XTi). On the whole the lens is a so-so lens, especially for the price and wide focal range. The image quality is okay and the color is okay... I usually end up boosting the contrast and color a bit in photoshop, but it's decent enough. At the longer end (300mm) the bokeh is nice and good for amateur portraits. I did notice some chromatic aberration in some shots though...

It's handy to have the wide focal range... though it's a bit heavy, focuses a little slow, and is a bit loud when focusing.

However, if you're a newbie, and want to have a lens that will give you more options than the Canon SLR kit lenses (14-55), this may be a good starter option, especially b/c it's so inexpensive. If you have a bigger budget and can afford something more, I'd save for a Canon lens. Better build and image quality.

This lens is very light for lenses with this focal range. I've tried out the Canon 70-200 with IS wich is far superior, but far heavier since it is an L-series lens. If you don't have the $1500 to spend on the Canon, then this is a good starter lens until you know your ready to spend the big money.

I take pictures of my daughter at her soccer game with it and I've also done some nice lunar shots at night with it. The quality is good and I can't complain. With an aperture range from 4 to 5.6, it's not bad and I've also gotten some great portraits with the lens.

I highly recommend it if you aren't making money shooting pictures and you want a nice wide focal range.

Nice lens. Size is just right. It isn't too long to bring on trips yet it zooms far enough to get lots of great shots.

This lens is very heavy. But it's not its major drawback. It's slow. Very slow. I had a canon 75-300 III (basic EF w/o IS), and it is at least 2 times faster than this Quantaray lens.

Will work for you if you shoot stable objects with your camera on tripod.

5 stars for the price, 0 for the speed and quality --> 2 stars.

I ordered this from another store but still the same lens. Its good if you dont want to spend too much money on a telephoto lens, the colors are good but not good enough to be considered pro looking. good for new photographers that are learning. I use this lens every chance I get.

Please don't buy this. Save your money and get a known brand name one. Motion pictures are blurry still shot far away pictures are blurry. This is garbage, not good for someone who is just starting, anyone who is new to photography would know this is crap. I bought this for my wife,she is sooo unhappy, and I can see the quality sucks. Don't buy this.
