Cons: Large diameter for filters (82mm). Lens are extended at 24mm and if you are using this lens on 24 with internal flash in the lower side of the picture you'll have a semi-circular shadow.

Pros: Very sharp and can isolate very well the subject. Image quality is almost the same if you compare with Canon 24-70 USM L which is very expensive.

Summary: I would recomend this lens.

Cons: -Heavy -82mm filter -If you don't use full frame then there are lighter lenses.

Pros: -Good zoom range -2.8! -I have never had to blame a bad photo on it.

Summary: A good value. When I got it it was more expensive but it has been good. I'm changing camera mounts and will probably get a 17-70 that is lighter and has stabalization. I used this one on a little sensor so I never saw any corner blur.
