Canon 0344B002

Pros: Low dispersion glass, constant aperture, corner sharpness, Image Stabilization, universal zoom range

Cons: Expensive, moderately fast with f/4 (for sports), can be a bit heavy

The Bottom Line: A great universal lens for both APS-C and Full Frame (35mm). There are faster lenses, but this one offers great performance for a somewhat moderate price.

Review: It's been over two years that my trusted EF-S 17-85 mm took the role of the universal lens and has been only recently deemed inadequate. The changing event was my upgrade from a 8 MPx camera (20D) to a 10 MPx camera (E OS ...

Pros: Ideal zoom range, excellent image quality & image stabilization. Perfect for the Eos 5D.

Cons: Only suggestion, build it from Titanium for lighter weight, it is a bit front heavy.

The Bottom Line: Recommend strongly for Canon EOS full frame cameras. Perfect combo for the EOS 5D. Fast autofocus, effective image stabilization, and superb image quality.

Review: I few months ago I purchased a Canon Eos 5D. This extraordinary camera has a full frame 24x36mm sensor. I had been using film exclusively until then. With film, I was very much a wide-angle type, generally I had a 28mm lens on my film camera all ...

Pros: Clarity, Color, Superfast focusing with USM, weight, image stabilizer

Cons: Price (for an F/4), Flexible case which doesn't provide much protection

The Bottom Line: Great Canon lens at a price.

Review: Canon has been an industry leader in digital photography, and this has mainly been because of the number and quality of lenses which are available. I will admit that the first lens I purchased for my EOS-10D was a Tamron 28-75 F/2.8 DI which provided ...

Pros: Excellent all-around zoom range. Great quality

Cons: Large and heavy, but managable

The Bottom Line: This is a great quality lens that will last you. Great zoom range and great optics.

Review: I own this lens, and it's perfect for my Canon EOS 5D. This lens has a great range for a standard walk-around lens. Even with a crop factor camera the range is pretty good, just a little more telephoto. On the wide end, there is some vignetting. I ...

Pros: sharpness, zoom-range, stabilizer

Cons: weight, bad bokeh

Review: This is really a fine lens among zooms in spite of its high distorsion. The latter has a relatively favourable pattern and is correctible with Photoshop. There is no DxO plug-in as yet. The sweet spot is near 50mm as one may expect. There is some ...

Pros: Great image quality and image stabilization. Smooth operation plus weatherproof

Cons: A bit pricey and bulky for an f.4 lens

Review: This was my first "L" lens. I bought it to replace my 5 year old Canon 28-135 which was first generation IS and starting to get noisy and vibrate.The 24-105 seems to be a winner so far. There's a reason this optic costs $1000+ as opposed to the ...
