Cons: Some focus hunting with 40D (never observed with 20D), harsh vignetting at f2.8 and infinity (not in macro "mode"). A little bit prone to flares just with hood, but hood not really effective. Use your hand to shield the sun.
Pros: Ultra sharp lens, no distortions, very low chromatic aberrations (longitudinal and lateral) Compact, lightweight and sturdy. No dust sucker (but beware: the back element leaves a gap where dust might find it's way into the lens).
Summary: For me a walk around lens with an equiv focal length of 100mm. No zoom at all but macro capability is a deliberation quite as good as a zoom. The overall image quality is stellar. Bought as my first lens 5 years ago - still glad to have access to such a dream lens.

Cons: sporadic focus hunting, 52mm filter diameter, no focus range limiter
Pros: extremely sharp even at 1:1, silent and fast focus, compact, decent build quality, good value for money
Summary: It's a great multi-purpose lens I can recommend. It uses all your megapixels.
