I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this lens. I need a zoom lens and would like nothing more than to have a 2.8L 70-200 but can't justify the 980809 billion % price difference ATM. :p This seems to be my best option. Thanks to all that posted pics!

I found mine here on POTN for a nice price of $265 and they actually seem to come up fairly frequently. I found a couple authorized Canon resellers on eBay with them for about $289 as well as Dell for about the same price.

Not to plug my sale.......:)


I am selling mine in the sell forum now for a very reasonable price. Originally belonged to pointerDixie214 on here (hopefully he doesn't mind me dropping his name!). We have both put shots up showing how sharp this copy is.

[SIZE=3][SIZE=3]Hey everyone,

[SIZE=3]My first post here on these forums with a couple random shots taken with the XSi and the 55-250. I am finding I am learning a lot by reading on theses forums as I am new to DSLRs. I appreciate this great resource and all the talented photographers who post here. :)
