I had the Canon 72 mm 19-200 and it has completely locked up on me. I replaced it with this lens. My biggest concern was losing some of the size and a possible drop off in image stabilization. I can't say I notice any real fall off anywhere.

Bought this lens for general use when I am out and about saving me from having to keep changing lenses. perfect for the job without spending a fortune.

Easily Interchangeable; Lightweight

Love this lens. Took it on a safari and my pictures turned out great! So pleased with this! For quality and price - 5 stars!

Bought this in a kit (can no longer see on site) and sooooo glad I did, great little all round lense saves me the hassle of carrying multiple lenses around. Compact, great quality! Very happy.
