Pros: Good: Superwide angle lens for Canon DSLR. It is not as fast as the Canon L series lens. But it produces a good optical quality for such a price. Some distortion and chromatic aberration at superwide angle. But it is usual for superwide angle lens. I am very satisfied with this lens performance so far.
As far as the services from Newegg, I have no complaint yet. Keep up the good work, Newegg team. Thank for your services.
Cons: Non so far.
Other Thoughts: Prior to buy this lens I also considered the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 and the new Sigma 10-20mm f3.5. However, I leaned more toward the Tokina since it is a faster lens with constant aperture at f2.8. It produces the best optical in its class. If Canon choose to made the same aperture as the Tokina, then they would probably sale under L series which would cost at least 2-3 time the price. However, the Tokina has less zoon range than the Canon and it might have the compatibility issue with Canon future product. It took me a very long time to decide between these two great lenses, Canon and Tokina. I like the Tokina, but I buy the Canon for my need. So you have to decide what you need.

Very Good Lense

Pros: The best small sensor wide angle lens in Canon's lineup. It's quiet and it focuses quickly. The clarity of this lens competes with that of many of the L series USM lenses.
It suffers less barrel distortion. Flare is mitigated in this lens far better than in most USM lenses. Plus it has a circular aperture design.
Cons: Canon lenses are expensive. It doesn't work on a full frame body.
Other Thoughts: If you have a small sensor canon DSLR get this lens. You won't regret it.

Fantastic All Around Lens
Reviewed By: Latrodectus on 12/1/2009
Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Fantastic All Around Lens, literally converting your APS-C sensor into a 35mm equivalent camera. Excellent optics for how old this lens is, clean and sharp image. Literally, this lens will become your favorite all around lens. This lens completely satisfied my need for a full frame camera (for now).
The build quality is fantastic, I was honestly amazed at how solid it is, I was expecting a cheap and loose USM build, equivalent to the 70-300 IS (not the recently released version).
Cons: For a 15mp+ sensor, you still will be dismayed to know that there is still no EF-S lens out there that takes full advantage of the bigger sensor cameras. This translates into loss of detail at higher crops. The picture is clean, tack sharp, and detailed at up to 25-40% crop but from 50% on up (if you are a pixel peeper) you will notice that some detail is not captured that maybe would be with something like an L series lens. On the contrary, nothing out really takes complete advantage of these sensors.
Other Thoughts: This lens will remain in my collection forever. Definitely one of my Canon favorites! It rarely ever is detached from my camera, unless, I require a longer reach.
