The plague?!? YIKES-- that must be one gawd-awful lens!

Thanks for the tip. Consider it avoided.

If you need 300mm (480mm cropped), it's a perfectly fine lens that's been around for many years. Is it as sharp as the 55-250? Not quite, but close and the extra 50mm reach is especially nice for birds, wildlife, etc. I use the first gen on my old XS body once in awhile but the newer USM model is better.
