A longish zoom from the range of cheaper EF lenses produced for early EF film cameras. Aberations are quite noticeable and 200mm at f/5.6 (with no IS) makes for a lens best used in good light. A crop sensor hides many of the worst features of the len's performance, but don't pay too much for the privilige of finding out.
