Do not be fooled by this supposed 73% discount. The street price on this lens is what Amazon is charging – there is no special sale here.

I’m sure this is a fine lens, but I never got a chance to use it. I own a Canon EOS 5D and, apparently, “EF-S” lenses are not compatible with it. Only “EF” lenses will work with the EOS 5D. I didn’t realize that until I received this lens and (believe it or not) read the instructions before opening the plastic. This was not evident to me from the description, but now I know.
I hope this comment saves you some time and money if you own a 5D. Please ignore the rating. Amazon wouldn’t let me post the comment without attaching a rating… not really fair since I could never try it.

I owned this lense for about a year and it does take nice, clear pictures. It is also a handsome lense with a strong, sturdy build that is still very light. However, it certainly has its flaws. First off, the barrel distortion at 10 – 12mm is almost completely unbearable if you trying to take a picture representative of what you are seeing. It flattens out the scene considerably making objects – like people – look one dimensional. Women – it straight up makes you look fat. This especially noticeable in subjects in the foreground of your pictures like: people, trees, rocks, even houses etc. Secondly, there is a considerable amount of chromatic aberrations when shooting landscape photography in the mid and background ranges. There are green and red lines around trunks of trees and outlines of mountains.
I also own a Sigma 18-200 and I am not saying Sigma make the same quality of lense as Canon, but that lense if particular took just as good as pictures for about a 1/3 less of the price. There is no doubt in my mind – of the ones I’ve use – I can say the majority of Canon lenses are considerably overpriced, but I go with them because there doesn’t seem to be a better options for those who demand high optical quality and have a discerning eye. In the future I may consider a switch to Nikon, but kudos to Canon for providing absolutely outstanding customer service in product support.
