    Great for Value
    Item came in a Canon USA box and upon inspection, had no noticeable damage or defects. Is a great, light lens and ended up being the main lens I used. Autofocus was a bit odd sometimes, but worked just fine, as did the IS. Highly recommended if you're dipping your feet into photography.Small issue is that the lens vignetted the further you zoom in. Sometimes it's not noticeable, but sometimes it's really clear.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Reasonably priced Canon USA Refurb Zoom Lens
    Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2017
    Purchased a refurbished Canon T5 last June with two (2) kit lenses. The standard EF-S 18-55mm IS lens and a telephoto EF 75-300mm III USM non-IS lens. The later was one I never really warmed up to. Let's call it like we see it -- I.Q. was and is not up to Canon expectations. Read any serious review and see for yourself.

    I also missed image stabilization, especially at longer telephoto zoom lengths, like I had on my old FujiFilm S100FS. Full zoom, no problem!

    Came across this lens on Amazon couple days ago. I'm getting ready for a quick cross country drive and I wanted this lens to replace my EF 75-300mm lens on this trip. Best part, the price was right.

    What I like:
    * Right off the bat -- a true Canon USA Certified Refurbished lens was in the box
    * USA warranty by Canon -- one (1) year from date of purchase
    * Registered this lens on Canon USA website -- serial number took and registered it to my Canon USA account
    * The overlay sticker on the box - certified refurbished - New (whatever that means?)
    * Sticker underneath was a factory Canon refurb sticker with both Canon barcodes
    * Enclosed was Canon refurb warranty paperwork disclosing the limited one (1) year Canon USA refurb warranty
    * When I opened the package, the contents had that new product smell
    * The lens was in absolutely perfect condition
    * Shipped in a Canon refurb brown (not white) box like other Canon lenses I purchased -- no damage to the outside of the box
    * Focus on my T5 was quick and silent
    * Front lens element does NOT rotate like other older Canon EF or EF-S lenses
    * Lightweight, 58 MM lens/filter opening
    * Made for a crop frame (APS-C sensor) Canon camera body (will not work on a full frame Canon camera)

    I have some doubts:
    * Plastic mounting flange between body and lens -- be carefull mounting it
    * Plastic body -- not weather sealed
    * It is not "L" lens quality, but for the price

    Too short of time to see how this lens will truly perform, but my quick test shots show that this lens at full zoom (250MM on the lens scale), inside the house with a 6/10th second @ f5.6 exposure came across great. There is some softness around my wall clock lettering, but nothing like my old EF 75-300mm lens that blurred the picture like a leaf blowing in the wind. Both were handheld shots. My test will come in a week or so. I will supplement my review after I have more field time with this lens.

    So far, so good. Stay tuned.

    5/04/2017 - Update

    I have had some time to use this lens, not as much as I thought I would, but still. Posting several pics for your consideration. One of the sun at full zoom (f5.6 @ 800 ISO for 1/80th sec.). Snipped a 100% crop to bring in what detail I could. The other was of the moon setting just after sunrise on Donners Pass in Truckee, CA. All were RAW pics post processed in DxO Optics Pro 9.5.2.

    Not the greatest, but something additional to see. This lens works great, but the auto focus didn't work well on the Sun picture. That was manually focused and manual focus works far better on this lens than my old Fujifilm S100FS ever did.

    *******
    04/29/2018 - Update

    It took long enough for me to post some additional pictures. I have not used this lens as much as I thought I would have. That being said, I dusted this lens off yesterday morning to shoot the April 2018 Mt. Charleston Marathon in N/W Las Vegas, NV.

    This refurb lens performed flawlessly throughout the entire shoot!

    The pictures I shot came out as expected. I performed no cropping, sharpening or noise reduction functions to any of these sample photos. All pictures were shot in RAW (CR2) format and post processed in DxO Optics Pro 9.5.2 only to taste.

    Further, the photo compression used by Amazon does NOT do these photographs any justice. I picked some finer detail objects to share with you regarding sharpness of this lens. IE: The box picture -- the labeling on my full size picture is clear and crisp, unlike the photo displayed on this site. Not the lens or my fault, just Amazon picture compression at work here.

    For a refurbished lens, Canon did an outstanding job turning out a very high quality product that you will be pleased to use. If you are skeptical about buying refurbished products -- don't be from Canon. Actual Canon refurbished products perform exactly like new products and Canon stands behind that product with a full one (1) year manufacturers warranty.

    I had another opportunity to use this lens this past week. Visited the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area on the west side of Las Vegas. While in the parking lot, a number of gray ground squirrels were running under an SUV. Took a couple shots. I attach them for your review.

    At just about 100 feet away, under the SUV in deep shadows, you can see them . Notice the lettering on the rear tire. Crisp results from this refurb lens.
