Review: ...Should be this one!
Having recently purchased my Eos Rebel 2000, I needed a good zoom lens. Do you want a quality lens whose results speak for themself? Then this is the lens for you. The autofocus is quick and quiet and the lens is light and small enough to fit into my cramped camera bag. The perfect 2nd lens to go with your stock 28-80.

Review: I ordered this for my Canon Digital Rebel, and happy to say the lens works great together with the camera. Performance and quality are very good, and the price certainly is right.

I also like that you get not only the lens itself, but several accesories including a nice case - stuff that Canon charges extra for.

Keep in mind - 35mm film and the electronic chip in my camera are different sizes - in my case it's 1.6x smaller - so this lens is really like 110-480mm, which I found to be too much of a zoom to use as a primary lens when walking around.

Also - remember to use a high shutter speed to avoid blurriness - it's hard to hold still at such a high magnification.

Review: I purchased this lens from Amazon about 5 weeks ago! I had also owned the Canon version of this lens! and I recomend the Sigma over the Canon! here is why! 1st the sigma has macro capabilities where the canon does not! I belive the build of the sigma is better! the canon was only a few $$ more, but the Sigma lens gives you more for the money! including quality! The pics are Sharp and the auto focus is fast! I held the canon 70-300 and the Sigma 70-300 APO side by side and thought the Sigma was a much better lens! Hey if you don't like it, send it back!! but I am sure, Very sure that when you try it, your going to keep it!
