One lens , you don't get the dust !!!

The optical quality is on a very high though not exceptional level. The resolution figures are generally very good without any major flaws. Vignetting, CAs and even distortions are very well under control. The build quality is exceptional though some may not like the push-pull zoom.
Pros:
  • Super-sharp images
  • Fast auto-focus

Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 USM L IS (full format) - Review / Test Report

The design of a 10.7x zoom is complex so it doesn't come as a surprise that the EF 28-300mm L IS is a rather large massive being. Typical for most recent L class lenses it is build to professional standards including a sealing against dust and humidity.

Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM

Great lens. Nice lens to have if you don't want to change out lens during your trip. Love the fact that you only need carry a single lens and still have a wide focal range. Great optics, produces sharp pictures. The weight is the only downside to this lens, but well worth the workout.
Pros:
  • Versatility
  • quaility
  • image stabilization
Cons:
  • Weight
  • price

Great Lens for Outdoor Sports

I've had this lens for a year now and I use it nearly every weekend for taking pictures of youth soccer games. The lens focuses very quickly compared to my old Canon 70-300mm and the pictures come out very sharp.

Great lens when you want to travel light and fast.

I bought this lens as a carry one lens/one camera while traveling and hiking. I like the zoom range and the picture quality obtainable with this lens. It is heavy and expensive but gets the job done without carrying a pack of prime lenses. This is one of the best zooms I have ever used.
