Cons: No IS Quite some CA (correctable) Not wide enough on APS-C for inside shots Newest high resolution sensors will require sharper glass

Pros: Good reach on APS-C Fast, silent and precise Autofocus with USM Relatively lightweight (compared to 15-85) Decent optical quality, maybe not sharp enough for the newest 18Mpix APS-C sensors

Summary: This is a lens I have taken over from my 1994 EOS 5 film camera. On my 450D (XSi), it does serve me well as walkaround lens during my hikes in the nature, where it gives me twice the reach compared to the 18-55 kit lens. I wouldn’t buy one new, rather take the 15-85 instead.
