Description
 
A superior performance, ultra-compact telephoto zoom lens with Canon's Image Stabilization. These Diffractive Optics elements are combined to reduce size and boost image quality. AF is super-fast and silent with a ring-type USM, and it focuses down to 4.6 feet – without rotating the front element. A new zoom lock button keeps the lens safe and secure when not in use or used at the wide angle.

4 of 5 Great Compact Zoom March 12, 2013
Reviewer: D-Mac from Tamarac, FL United States  
The zoom range came in very handy and allowed me to stay back from the crowds and reach what I wanted to.  It was very sharp and the colors came through very nicely.

The Sharpness was very close to the 70-300 F4L but not quite there.  That is not to say that this lens did not take great shots on my 7D.

If I had a con it would be the zoom ring.  I found myself feeling and then looking for it when I was wanting to reach.  The ring is pretty thin, but once I got into the habit of placing my hand on it before I brought the camera up, it was fine.

A few pros would be the lens lock, which was easy to slip on and off.  I could feel for it after a short time and it switches of easily, but it was needed as the lens does creep. The sharpness is very nice and better than my 28-135 USM IS.  I could tell the difference right away. Having this type of zoom range in a compact size would be very desirable for traveling.

I would put the rating at better then good.
