My only problem with it is that the lens will creep out (extend) quite easily by itself. To fix that problem, Canon put a little lock on the side to prevent it from happening. Although it was a little aggravating, I got used to the lock and still loved the lens. A couple of months ago though, the lock piece broke off inside the lens and now it rattle around and won't go all the way back to 18 mm. I researched it on the internet and it seems to be a common problem. I called Canon and now I have to send it off to be repaired. It's out of warranty so I don't know what the charge is going to be. Other than that though, I really do love the lens and the focal range. Just beware the locking pin!<br /><br />Thanks for always having such great posts and tutorials, David!

I think the "closest focusing distance" quoted by manufacturers are measured from the sensor plain to the subject and not from the front of the lens to the subject.i Maknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-2907207278093276542009-12-16T17:43:05.610-05:002009-12-16T17:43:05.610-05:00Great post David!

Do you use it with a hood?<br /><br />Thanks for a great blog.Anders C. Madsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04942617883838947536noreply@blogger.com
