This lens is great... I had try it with eos 50D... it's sharp enough, lightweight(but absolutely not as light as the 18-55 standard canon lens), fast and quiet focus motor, and also great for lowlight condition...
@gman0productions Understandable point, but it's actually an overlap in terminology. Lenses have always been rated in their ability to resolve millimeter lines on a lens chart. We were talking about 'resolving power' and 'lines of resolution' for as far back as I can recall. Lenses at one end of the spectrum are low resolution and the other is called high resolution. The smaller the imaging media the higher the resolution demand on the lens. Thanks for the question!

I think I still prefer the Non VC.

LOL "Images captured with this lens are EXTREMELY HIGH RESOLUTION"
I don't think the lens determines the resolution.

AF is fast and fairly quiet. Performance varies a little by brand with Canon seeming to be a little faster.

Question: How quick does this lens autofocus? Also, is the autofocus loud or quiet?
Thanks!

People testing lenses are great in explaining the basics of photography, but (always) tend to forget to mention the camera they used :-)
Results won't be the same with a 500d or a 7D.....
