I've never used one but I've heard good things about it. I considered it but went with the Tamron 18-270 VC, which has decent image quality for a superzoom and quite a nice range!

I have that lens for my T1i; and that's basically the one I use most of the time. The only other lens I have is the kit lens though. I don't have any real complaints about it. The zoom reach is great; and I think it has great picture quality. The only thing I really noticed, and that you'll probably see in reviews, is that there's some vignetting at certain parts of the zoom range.... more at the telephoto level. I read that certain aperture settings can get minimize it, but I haven't really experimented with that. It's actually not too bad, and can look pretty good in some pics.

You can check out my Flickr photostream for examples. Almost all of the pics on the first 5 pages were taken with that lens. :thumbsup2
