Dear Board,

I had the lens and used it on a 20D and 40D with what I considered to be excellent results. I found it to be a great one lens solution for traveling vacation shooting. 90% of my shooting was done outdoors shooting landscapes and scenics, with and without people in them.

Since I moved on to doing more bird and wildlife shooting, I got rid of the lens. Now that I have a 7D that I love, I am looking for a one lens solution for the general work.

Is this still a viable lens, or is there something better to consider?

For a one lens solution it's probably the best IMO..

Some will say the 18-135 is better but I disagree and I have both.
