Product Description
This telephoto zoom lens is designed with Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer technology while retaining compactness and lightness, in response to demands of photographers. This high zoom ratio lens is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm in the 35mm format (when used on Canon EOS cameras compatible with EF-S lenses), and the image stabilizer effect equivalent to a shutter speed about 4 stops faster than the same size lens without Image Stabilizer.

I never thought Amazon could have such bad service. I ordered the lens and payed for ONE DAY SHIPPING. When four days passed and it hadn’t arrived I contacted Amazon and they sent another lens. The SECOND lens didn’t arrive either. So my money was returned.
I’m not sure I I would ever purchase from Amazon again.

Unfortunately this lens does NOT fit on the Canon 5D nor on the 1D-Mark II

Most of us shop here because we hate the hassle of shopping at Best Buy or other overpriced stores but… I bought this Canon lens a couple of days ago from Amazon.com for 255 dollars. Two days later I saw the same lens for 237 on sale from Amazon.com. I understand that they would not match other competitors prices, but they do not match even their own price a couple of days after the original purchase. I was told by a costumer representative that they have stopped price matching their own products in 2008. It seems very cheesy that a big company like Amazon.com would instruct me to buy the lens with the new price and to return the old lens, instead of price matching their own product. Yes I am NOT talking about the same product from a different seller, but their own online store. I am NOT talking about a price match after 30 days, but after 2 days . Even Best Buy has a 15-30 day price matching policy.Cheesy if you ask me.

I bought this three weeks ago. But it’s used. I can find a clear sign on the screw to proof it’s used. I even believe it’s a repaired one. I feel like a fool to buy a repaired one with a full price for a new one. However, I need to use it last week for a travel. But it was still a repaired one they sold, pretending as a new one.

This lens dose what is says, and is a CANON lens. Takes ok pictures outside, but is too slow to shoot inside without a bright lighting, or flash. But is nothing compared to the replacement 70-200 L lens I purchased as a replacement.
You get what you pay for.
