I bought this as a birthday gift for my husband, because he had requested it. I have never been much interested in wide-angle lenses--to me, long telephotos were the ones I lusted for. This lens has ....

My main use of this lens is to create landscape panoramas, usually with a tripod in day light, but often to get a lot of scene when going back is not an option.

I find the optical quality ....

Unless this is going to be installed on the Hubble Telescope or one of our satellites or on the underside of one of our spy-planes, I can't see what or how to justify the quoted price.

I love this lens. The USM with full time focus is great. I don't think I would by a lens without it. Build quality seems good. Barrel distortion is minimal, very well controlled. Color and contrast ....

I've been using the Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLRs for over a year now and it may be the most used lens in my bag!
It's a fun lens to have on the camera. I use it ....

Tiffen is a new brand to me. it is obviously well priced, because it is used in kits, which is how I discovered it. But the quality seems very good, and the packaging for use in a camera kit bag (soft ....

It is a too dark blue filter and as such it cannot be used in a regular photography. It is necessary to have a choice of filters with different rate of density. ....

Amazon and Baby age had a bad listing and I was a victim. I ordered the Tiffen 72HTHZE86 72MM Digital HT HAZE 86 Titanium Filter shown on Amazon as being sold by Baby Age and I received a pillow. I ....

The filter provides the protection I intended for the lense. I remove it when I am shooting in "safe" situations and remount it when shooting in difficult, crowded or situations where ....

Had to send them back - VERY disappointed. The polarization of the circular polarizer was okay - but as you dialed the polarization down, a warm tone seeped into the image. So you either had cool ....

This filter kit was a really good bang for the buck. A UV, Polarizer, and a rose lens... the ideal filters for someone just starting to experiment with filters and their camera settings.

Filters are well made, evenly coated, etc. I knock them a star for including an 'UV Filter', which is just an extra piece of glass as far as a modern digital camera is concerned. If they'd have called ....

Pros: This close-up set is a great alternative to expensive (but quality) macro lenses for amatuers like me. I'm still learning how to use it correctly in order to get optimal results. Initially, I ....

If you use a filter on a quality lens .
Buy a quality filter.
This one is not, ....

This fits with my Carl Zeiss 25mm fix lens. I use this lens and new filter with Nikon D90. I would like to notice that Nikon DSLR work well with Carl Zeiss lens F mount ....

I have had these binoculars for about 1 year now, and just love them. I use them on whale-watching boats off the California coast (I go about once-a-month). When water conditions are calm, these take ....

Simply stated, these are the best binocs I've ever owned. They are simply amazing in their ability to control the shakes. The optics seem to be of the highest quality with no distortions or ....

Standing yesterday at South Point Hawaii, the winds were howling at 50 MPH gusts. While wind, swells and wave action obliterated most detail, pushing the IS button made the image crystal sharp and ....

Absolutely more than pleased. Avoided purchasing them for a year 'cause I have essential tremor and didn't think they would do the job. Wrong again. I am extremely pleased and everyone that has used ....

The best binoculars I've ever had. They arrived within a week. I am very satisfied! ....

I got a Nikon D60 camera "package" (meaning everything plus another lens with the deal) and the white lens cap just doesn't cut it. Also somehow lost the lens cap from the additional lens. I ....

Arrived quickly, does what it is supposed to do. Overpriced for a piece of plastic but what else is new. ....

Got it to replace the cheap white plastic covers I got on a couple lens I've bought .. it is what it is. It's too expensive for that so you have to make your own call on that one. ....

It's a lens cap, people. It's made by Nikon so it fits your lenses (beware that knock-off junk). What else can I say? Probably could be cheaper, but if you were worried about that, you wouldn't have ....

Ok - it's an order of magnitude better than the shipping cover that comes on a lense. It's strong, would like to see a small rubber seal at the end to ensure dust stays out for extended periods of ....

Everything the other reviewers say about the incredible sharpness, rapid auto-focus and build quality of this lens is absolutely true. What else can you say? It's a truly awesome piece of glass that ....

Despite most people giving this lens a five-star rating, i did not see anything overly great about it. Six hundred dollars buys you great build-quality- a metal mount, a real manual focusing ring, and ....

I came upon this lens yesterday (June 11th 2008) and was excited to actually test run an "L" lens versus my regular canon/tamron lens and was disappointed. Is this what "L" series ....

This is a great lens. Initially, I was contemplating between this lens, the 70-200 f/4 IS lens and the 70-200 f/2.8 lens. From a day to day practical use perspective, the 70-200 2.8 was just too heavy ....

Not bad , I don't use it every day but it seems to work well ....

This lens is great for taking portraits outdoors - one, two, three people. The 1.8 here is awesome and this lens has beautiful bokeh.

Also for low-light at performances, I prefer taking ....

I love, love, love this lens. Beautiful lens. Beautiful shots. I have a 50mm 1.4. I'm going to sell it and move up to the 1.2, and with this lens, I will have my portrait lens needs wrapped up. ....

The title says it all. It was the most consistent lens I ever owned and I regret to this day selling it. I wish I had the money to buy another one. If I couldn't find another 85 in stock, I'd ....

I brought this lens for my trip to India. I wanted to get some closeups and portraits. This is not the best lens for either.

Even though it has a f stop of 1.8, it is not fast enough. Its ....

I am an amateur photographer, turning professional.

I use this lens for portraits (although I have used it for landscape too), and it is fantastic! The images are crystal clear and sharp, ....

The only reason i give this a 4 instead of a 5 star is that it could use some updates. ie. metal foot, weather sealing, to bring it up to current standards. This transmitter works great and does all ....

I'll just say that this product does exactly what it claims to do. It's limitation (needing to have a direct line of sight to the flash) takes some getting used to but if you can make that happen, it ....

So i bought this product and assumed the battery was included. Amazon is very good at letting you if the product requires any other gadgets as you shop. Some would say thats not a big deal, just buy ....

I have been reading the Strobist (www.strobist.blogspot.com) for inspiration to take my flash off camera. I have been using one of the Gary Fong Lightspheres with great results in casual portraits at ....

I really like this Transmitter don't get me wrong. But frankly I mostly do Automotive shoots and it can get quite limiting, namely because the IR sensors have to be facing each other, which means that ....

This is a very good lens. Sharp as a razor images, great. The only thing that kept me from giving five stars is the lens hood. It does not fit well. When compared to my two kit lenses this lens hood ....

I'll try to keep this short & sweet. This lens is one of the best lenses to have in your camera bag. I've gotten beautifully detailed results. Extremely sharp, I love how much detail I can get of ....

I think everything has already been said in the other reviews. This lens is incredibly sharp, even at f/2.0. I've been pairing it with my Olympus E-520 and I am well satisfied with the combination

Very sharp. I don't really shoot macro so I use it more as a prime 100mm equivelant. Focuses speed is more than acceptable except in dim light. Nice Boken. Highly recommended. ....

First off, even though I only gave it 4 stars, it is the best lens I have ever touched, and if I lost or broke it today, well, I'd buy another one immediately. Many people describe this lens as ....

careful , less sharpness , compact but very heavy
not recommended for pro users , nice for prorate and user how want to won tow lenses only ....

I purchased this lens because I do a lot of candids and 200mm is just not good enough. I also recently purchased a 5D MkII, so any praise I may have for the lens may be partly due to this camera. When ....

Judging by Amazon customer buying behavior, it's a toss-up between this lens and the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM (AKA non DO 70-300mm). So why would you pay twice the price for the Diffractive ....

I have a Canon 300 f/2.8 IS and a 600 f/4 IS for wildlife photography; I also had a 300 70-300 USM (non DO) version for shooting while walking around and did not like it or the images it created. I ....

I bought this for my wife for our safari in Tanzania and I couldn't be happier. She shoots with a 20D and previously used a EF 70-200 F4 L lens which she found too heavy. She used to get blurry ....
