Looking for a travel lens, that was relatively small.

I have used this lens for two months and have no problems todate. Lens has a locking switch that is a bit small for big hands and only locks in the 70mm setting. Good results obtained at all stages and appatures.up:

[edit] Pros

• small
• relatively light
• good optics.

• price

Agree with Bryan but wanted to add in a comment about the superb IS and quick auto focus. Too short a focal length for dedicated bird photos but good to take "on spec" where you would leave a longer lens behind because of weight , bulk and the need for a tripod with a big lens.

[edit] Pros

• Small
• relatively light
• good optics
• focus speed
• IS

[edit] Cons

• Price
• small zoom ring.
