The new EF28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM is an entirely new L-series design lens (and a significantly enhanced successor to Canon?s EF35-350mm f/3.5-5.6L USM zoom introduced 11 years ago). Though it offers 11x zoom capabilities (compared with the 10x capability of its predecessor), this newly designed, 22-element L-series lens combines Canon?s newest optical glass advances, faster autofocus and a groundbreaking Image Stabilization system that makes capturing incredible images a snap, even when the zoom is at max, the shutter speed is slow and the camera is handheld.

Pros: Great all around lens for many situations
Cons: Heavy, bulky, pretentious
My first and lasting impression was, and is, "wow"! This thing is really a solid, well built piece of equipment. I am an amateur at best and am not familiar with all the specs of lenses etc. I purchased it to have at least one decent lens that I could use most of the time and not have to deal with a bag full of equipment. I got what I wanted!
I use it 95% of the time. The other 5% is taken with an EF-S 10-22. I have a 20D, which looks and feels like a toy when this glorious monster is attached. Did I say monster? At close to four lbs, it may qualify. Once I got used to lugging it, I appreciated the fast focus, terrific image stabilization and picture quality that I expected from this "not cheap" item. I love this lens and it's helping to strengthen my back.
