Owner since: 2 years
Price: 1250 US
User profile: Amateur
Cons: 1) Heavy - definitely noticeable on a 450D. 2) Field curvature might be an issue
Pros: Excellent image contrast and colors. The IQ is very good
Summary: This is my workhorse lens, which I use as a general purpose zoom. It takes excellent pictures, and I've been very happy with it. Although it's heavy, it works very well for my needs, anyway.

Cons: it is big and heavy but I'm not complaining one bit. It would be nice it is was a bit less expensivebut you do get that you pay for.
Pros: IMAGE QUALITY! fast AF accruate AF (to me that is just as important as the speed of the AF if not ever more important) Manual AF is nice and easy to use.
Summary: Honestly this is one very increadable lens in every aspect. Yes it is heavy, Yes it is big but those two problems pretty much just disappear when yopu are using the lens. it is a very ewasy lens to handle even for a long period of time. it remains sharp no matter the setting you are using and it is as sharp as pretty much any prime once you set to f-stop to 4.0 or over (seriously this lens is sharp) Also it has one very cool feature. the lens actually extends when you are at the widest setting. This makes the lens hood very useful as every zoom setting, not just the widest setting like most every other zoom lens. Also I know that many people find this lens expensive, but trust me that money is well spent in this lens. Note: i have been using this lens on two ASP-C cameras, a 40d and a 7d.
