Good, lightweight and cheap. Autofocus is decent, but not USM. Very usable at 2.8, but incredibly sharp when stopped down. Very good focal length for crop bodies.

I like using this lens when I want to travel light, but want to take quality photography. Attached to a rebel series camera this is an especially light combo and yields much better results than even the higher quality PnS's.
