 Love this lens! April 21, 2008

I am so happy with this lens! I use it for wedding photography and just in general. It is a real workhorse kind of a lens. It is more expensive than some other lenses, but it is well worth the money!

Whenever I shoot with this lens, I feel like I am sacrificing something within the image. I always want to shoot a little bit wider, or with a little bit less DOF, or a little bit sharper or with a little less flare, or a little more telephoto. It's just not wide enough to shoot a really awesome, dramatic, landscape (I have a 17-40 for that) . It's not fast enough to shoot in the dark or create that magical DOF (I have a 35mm f/1.4L and 50mm f/1.2L for that). Nor does it have enough reach to shoot a great portrait (I have a 135mm f/2.0L for that)
It just ends up being the lens I'd use when I don't care to take the best possible photos. In other words, it just sits in my bag.
In a world where differentiation is the difference between success and failure, I can't afford to shoot with this lens.

WoW!! That's what comes to mind first.
This lens is everything they talk about, it's fast focusing, nearly inaudible, sharp all the way to the edges on a 1.6x format camera. This thing is heavy duty too, you can tell there is a lot of glass in this lens. Surely the heaviest standard zoom lens I've owned which may or may not be a plus if you are thinking about carrying this in your hands all day, deffinately lighter than a dedicated super zoom but you'll start getting fatigued after a while. I compared this to a canon IS lens and two tamron zoom lenses over the same focal length and the proof is in the detail. This lens absolutely captures more fine detail than the others especially in the shadows, highlights were pretty much a draw.
For me, shooting family photo's and candids this is a great very responsive lens with amazing photo quality, build quality and great color representation. I'd recomend it to anyone willing to fork over the high end $$ for one.
Great Lens! January 8, 2008

It is amazing what good glass will do for your images. While it won't make ugly people beautiful it definitely will not make them look any worse!
We use this lens all the time and it is fantastic. It does add a bit of weight to your camera but well worth the added detail to your images.

This thing is built like a tank. I was a bit reluctant to make the purchase because of the high price tag but it was worth it. I'm using it with a Rebel XTi and it seemed soft in the beginning but it was just my lack of skill. Haha. Still learning and it's a great lens.
