It would really help if you mention the lens in the subject. Why make people click twice just to find out what lens oyu're talking about?

Bottom line:

A versatile lens in terms of zoom range with so-so image quality.

Because it took you longer to type your response then it would to just click on the link, I'll take it your serious and apologize for my mistake. I'm knew here and didn't know that was the way it should be done. I thought a picture and a link would be better, I didn't do it to inconvenience you, I really thought it would help. So I'm sorry and I'll take it that you don't know the answer to my question or your not willing to help because I didn't give you enough information. Didn't mean to trouble you. Here's the info: Canon Zoom Wide Angle-Telephoto EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM Auto-focus Lens.

roanjohn, thank you! I appreciate your help and will check out the link.

I think Scottes was referring to the fact that you would get a lot more input from us and others if you would post the lens in question in the subject line. Canon makes a lot of lenses and some people are tired of "which lens is best, works, do you haves." I would suggest for that money to pick up a teleconverter (1.4x), Canon 70-200mm2.8L and a Tamron 28-75mm lens. You will have some versatility with these!
