Comments about Quantaray Quantaray 18-200 mm OS DI 3.5-6.3 Lens f/Canon DSLR:

I was wanting a all around lens so I do not have to change one the other all the time. I found it in this lens it does all most everything I want it to do. And the best part now I can just have the one lens when I am out shooting or just walking around.

I love that this lens goes from 18mm - 200mm. I can keep this lens attached at all times; no need to keep switching between 18-55mm and a 75-200mm lens. self cleaning function and optical stabilizer a plus. worth the cost for the convenience of using only 1 lens

The Quantaray 18-200 mm OS Lens is used with a Canon Digital Rebel. The camera is used to shoot yearbook photos. All school events, sports, concerts, posed group shots, etc. is taken with the camera. The camera is used indoors and out of doors. The previous lens was also a Quantaray. This replacement lens has a greater zoom range but is too heavy. I don't know what mechanics/parts are involved in OS (Optical Stabilization) but this lens has no more OS than the previous QRay lens and it is VERY heavy. The handling feels uncomfortable. It does offer clear/crisp image capture, but so did the previous QRay. I purchase the larger lens hoping to get greater return on the zoom. The added weight is not worth the minimal zoom return.

I use this lens with an XTi, because I love the way the body of the XTi feels in my hands. The lens for the prize is well worth it. Is a little slow on the auto focus (don't worry you can still get action shoots with no problems). The OS allows you to get some low light shots without a the use of a tripod. I used this lens with no tripod for my photographs of Christmas Downtown 2008 and NFSCA carshow on Flickr and many more that will be uploaded to Flickr in the future.You can also check out Like This!

I bought this lens for my Canon Digital Rebel XT. When I bought the camera, it came with the "Mickey Mouse lens", as the salesperson called it - the standard 18 - 55mm lens. Then I had purchased the Quantaray 55-200mm lens because I have two small active kids and wanted to get close ups of their sports/activities. Following around the kids and changing lenses is a hassle, and risky when changing on the fly. I love now having the lens that allows me to zoom and get the wider, close-up shots. The lens is heavier than the camera itself. The optical stabilizer is a nice feature, too. It's probably more than you need for getting started or being a casual user, but I bring my camera most places we go, and love to photograph everything, so it's perfect for what I'm looking for. I would definitely recommend this.

Versatile: Used for travel and hiking - only need one lens. OS helps keep things steady even though I have a pretty steady hand anyways. Tight construction, so not a wobbly lens when zoomed to 200mm. OS compensates for small maximum aperture, but not great for selective depth of field. Out-of-focus blur good when stopped down a bit, due to iris design.

I have mostly Canon lens and I decided to give this Quantary a try, looked like a heck of a bang for the buck. I was not very happy with any of my sunset pictures as the horizon was straight for half of the image and then started stretching up on the left side. Maybe I just got a bad one, I think I will stick with Canon lens. Ritz is GREAT with returns and upgrades, I wouldn't buy from any place else, make sure you get a rewards card it worth it.

I got this lens last week for my Canon Rebel XSI and my pictures are outstanding. Colors are vibrant, autofocus is great, my photos are sharp and bright. This is a great all-around lens. I love to shoot butterflies and this lens gives me a great range, from close up to distance. I also do volunteer photography for a local environmental preschool and this lens makes my work much easier, as I only need the one lens. I am very pleased with the quality of my photos. I've had no compatibility issues with my Rebel XSI.

I use a Canon Rebel XTI, I bought this lens November of 2007. I also have a Canon 28-135 I/S lens and the image quality between the two is very close,the Canon focus is a little faster. This lens appears to be a exact copy of the Sigma 18-200 lens made for Quantaray which is a GOOD thing as the Sigma lens gets good reviews.
I have used this lens mainly to shoot my son's High School hockey team and the O/S works very well,the autofocus is a little slow at the long end but is accurate,it would be nice if it came with the petal hood as the Sigma does but that can be purchased separatly and still be less then the Sigma lens cost.The warranty on this lens is 4 years longer than the Sigma 5 years vs 1 year.All in all I am happy to add this len's to my Canon XTI kit

Pictures are spot on. Colors are vibrant. IS works like a charm. Having the 18mm range on my cropped sensor gives me some pretty good wide pictures.

It's not as smooth as the 28-135mm, but it gives you extra zoom on both ends. I'm happy with my purchase, and will use this as my main lens for a long time to come.

I have compared shots with my buddies Nikon 18-200 VR and the images are just as good.

I'll be posting some pics on Flickr so look for them under the 18-200mm Quantaray tag.

I have used this lens during weddings and sporting events for kids games. It gives similar quality as my professional set.
