Cons: A little long for crop-sensored cameras(more of a preference, than a disadvantage).
Pros: Very sharp wide open and even a little bit sharper stopped down a bit. Doubles as a portrait and macro-lens.
Summary: If you don't need the faster f/2 or the IS/weather-sealing of the 100mm L, there should be nothing keeping you from buying this lens. Highly recommended.

Cons: No lens hood like all Canon's other than "L" classification
Pros: Sharp, Sharp, Sharp! Cost to Value ratio is high
Summary: Currently my favorite lens. Before the new 100mm 2.8 L IS came out, this lens was all but considered and "L". It has an amazingly sharp set of optics, and producess bright-contrasty images with little to no post processing. I use this lens for nature, macro, and portrait imaging on my 50D. I would think twice before I considered the new "L" version over this model at nearly twice the cost.
