Any opinions about this lens? How about comparing to third party equivalents?

Hi

I have one of this lens and I can say it give decent photos. A lot of people are selling it online with unfilled warranty and i guess you can get it from then at around $300 or so. I got mine for $350 though. It give a distince difference from the kit lens(28-90) cos I'm using the kit on half roll then swopped over to this lens and finished the remaining roll. Very quiet and very fast. I never use my kit lens ever since.

I got it from the kit bundling of my EOS 30 .. good , small , light ,quiet and fast AF .... worth to buy if you cannot afford 28-135mm or L lens ...

erm ... whats the diameter of the lens? as in the lens thread ? 52mm or 58 mm?

This lens uses 58mm threaded filters. Yes, it gives decent results between 28 & 105. At both extreme ends, it seems to be a little soft. It can also be a good thing to be soft at 105mm for portrait shots, but not at 28mm. IMO.
