Cons: Hefty price but you get what you pay for and this is top quality. Heavy lens but that's what you get for close to perfection.

Pros: Build Quality. Outstanding optically. Accurate and fast zoom.

Summary: As close to a perfect zoom lens as we will see for many years. Quality as good as the best primes.

Cons: It's white, a little heavy but not really a problem, once you use this lens you forget that all others are not of the same build or image quality, you get the feeling your other lenses get a little jealous of the love you feel for this lens (j/k)

Pros: Sharp from f/2.8, amazing IS,

Summary: A great lens that puts most others to shame.

Cons: Heavy 1.2m minimum focusing distance

Pros: Very sharp. I have no doubt when using this lens. Best quality zoom ever have.

Summary: Love this lens the most in my collection. The only winner may be 85mm 1.2 L when I need larger aperture, or 24-70 2.8 L when I need to shoot people on the same dining table.
