Summary: Good Price and Good Lens
Review: I have been using the black intl' version of this lens or some time now (I think) and I have been quite happy with it, except that that if you like using Canon's the direction you have to twist your hand to zoom is the OTHER WAY as with Canon! It's a small annoyance, but yes it will get you frustrated if you turn the lens one way to zoom but start pulling back!

The zoom is slow compared to the new USM's from canon, and it seeks a lot. At the far end of the lens spectrum (about 130-200mm) the lens gets really dark and the picture quality degrades, and since the lens gets longer every little vibration in your body gets exaggerated if you are using a long exposure (on a canon 10D around 1/30 or longer).

This is a solid buy but honestly I think that if you can afford the extra cost invest in a Canon lens.

Review: If you are looking for an all around excellent lens, this is the one. I have used this lens since 1995. You can't go wrong with this lens.
