It appears to be the 200 mm. I have not measured exactly per say but it does zoom out that much and it works really well. I keep it on my camera unless I am doing some macro work.

Yes. I bought this lens to take with me to Ireland and I was very pleased with the results.

if you have the typical 18-55mm that comes with the camera I dont think you loose quality and will gain significant range of use with the 18-200. I have used this lenses extensively with relevant endurance tests. It is a very resistant. Have not use the 70-300mm

Hello Amy, I really haven't used this product since I bought it; I initially thought it was the 24-70mm f 2.8L. As a matter of fact, I will be returning it. I am, therefore, not the best person to give a critique. However, I'm sure you'll find these links useful: http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-28-70mm-f-2.8-L-USM-Lens-Review.aspxhttp://www.fredmiranda.com/24-70/

The box states it is the EFS 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS. Not the IS II. However, it has the same lens number as the IS II on the box. Sorry for the mixed answer but that's all I know.

I'm guessing you meant the 18-200 DC OS II? I don't think a 18-250 DC OS II exists yet. The main differences are longer zoom in the 250, while the 200 uses a new lens layout and materials. Overall quality is negligible and the extra cost is all about whether or not that extra 50mm is worth it to you.

Looks about 8" at 16mm and 4" at 300mm. Loving the lens so far BTW had been using the Canon 18-200EFS and the Tamron is WAY faster focusing with my 60D.

The lens included inside the camera box (18-135mm) is an IS STM lens while the 55-200mm lens is an IS II.

Honestly, there are some available on ebay with buyer protection (but I understand why you would want to get it from the above places instead). The 70-200mm is a great lens, but if you have your heart set on this particular lens you should wait to get this one :) I just ordered one from ebay but I did my research on the seller first.

So, I'm looking to upgrade from the Canon EF-S 55-250 ISII lens that I currently shoot my daughter's soccer and outdoor nature scenes. I know this is an entry level L, still the price is hard to complain about. How much of a difference from my current lens (on a 70D) will this make, and will I still be able to shoot fairly clean/crisp images @ 200mm without IS? I can use a monopod, so I'm sure that would help. Thoughts?

The 200mm gives you more extra zoom than you would think. I probably do more shooting at that focal length than any other.

It's both because it is a zoom lens. It's 2.8 capable when used at the 24mm setting and 4.0 when zoomed in using the 85mm aspect.

Yes it is. Actually, I'm thinking about selling this lens. I've used it a total of 2 times. I've found that I just don't use it. You may want to contact me.
