Bookmark
Product Description:

Developed to succeed the EF28-80mm f/3.5-5.6, which was marketed in 1993, this compact, lightweight standard zoom lens covers wide-angle 28 mm to medium telephoto 80 mm. Like the EF28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 V USM, it has a metal ring at the front of the zoom ring to give it an upscale image. It uses a DC motor as AF drive actuator. The optical system and controls are the same as those of the EF28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 V USM. For environmental protection, only lead-free glass lens elements are used.

Poor quality2004-11-26
Very poor quality lens. Came with a Rebel kit. Inoperable after a year of ownership. $120 repair estimate -- more than the new cost. I recommend you avoid this lens.
not bad.... but you should consider paying a little more2003-08-16
I, like most people, got this lens when buying a kit. Unlike one review, I found this lens to have excellent optics. While not quite like a Nikon lens, the quality of pictures the lens produces is more than enough for most users. For the past 4 years, I have thouroughly enjoyed using it. Unfortunately, something is not ligning up on the connections between the lens and the camera body and the camera is unable to read/set the aperture on the lens, therebye making it impossible to take pictures. I have used other lenses on the body, and they work fine, so I'm assuming it is a problem with the lens. Consider paying a little more when buying a lens... in the long run, it might save you money.
Buy this lens!2003-01-20
I have a 20x30 poster of some cliffs in Ireland hanging in my living room because the picture quality was too great to not enlarge! This lens gives you great versitility and the quality is great for the average person.
A wonderful, inexpensive lens - a must-have for EOS users2001-03-27
This entry level canon lens is an optical marvel that will enable anyone to shoot professional-quality photographs. The 28-80 mm zoom range is among the most useful for everything from vast landscapes at 28 mm to intimate portraits at 80 mm. The aperture of the lens allows hand-held shooting in most situations. The quality of the lens is remarkable for the price. Every EOS user should have this lens in his/her bag!
