I would use this lens all the time if it wasnt so heavy. It does help keep my arms in shape though! This lens is sharp and the depth of field you get at 200mm with a wide aperture is awesome. Many of my friends are mom-ographers. I always recommend they start out with a simple 50 mm then after they get used to their camera I tell them to take the plunge and get this lens. Its great for shooting kids at their sporting events or just playing in the back yard. The quality of the images are amazing. I use this lens when shooting lifestyle outside or shooting fashion in studio.

I like it. Great for outdoor video shooting project.

I've had the Action 2 since launch and always thought it could benefit from some ND filters, not only to help get me the right shutter speed in bright light, but to protect the lens, which is not replaceable. This is a set of four ND filters which cover the basics for most of my shooting needs and they're really nicely made. Neewer are really on a roll these days with their high quality, affordable camera gear.I am going to keep the ND8 filter on my camera all the time to act as a lens protector and when I am shooting in bright light I swap over to the ND32 or ND64. It is a small hassle having to keep them all clean and make sure no dust gets between the filter and the lens. I wish Neewer would make a variable ND filter for this camera, but for now these are a great solution at an affordable (but still a little expensive price).

Best Canon Lens, I think, it all depends on what your shooting.

Excellent, clear lens. will probably be my go to lens for daily shooting.

As a photographer, I use a UV filter for my outdoor shots and keep the sky and haze minimized. For everyday camera usage, however, I have found the lens filter acts a great value to protect the front elements when all you carry is the camera and a lens.

 Best lens ever!

Amazing lens for the price. It's my portrait lens for now when I'm shooting up close.
