Sitting in the middle of my tens of thousands of dollars of high quality Canon and Nikon lens this little fellow is a bit of strange in a good way. The lens is only $200 and yet it is more then quick, very sharp, and a ball of fun to use. Here we are comparing it to items costing ten times as much and more and making silly statements like it isn't quite as quick and only f2.8, etc. Goodness my fellow FM'ers this thing is simply incredible, I love it and have yet to find anyone who really used it that doesn't. My only question is who at Canon headquarters screwed up. A legitimate performance bargain from Canon, they slipped up because based upon their new pricing models for others lens they could have thrown a $500+ price tag on this one and the fan boys would have sucked it up. Marvels like this and the manual focus wonders from Samyang/Rokinon, and the new $200 4/3 and NEX miracles from Sigma are enough to restore ones faith that excellent performance engineering doesn't have to cost zillions. Hope your all enjoying this as much as I am.

well said. Actually I would pay $500 for it, at least to try out the little devil. It works very well for me. It is a keeper. Time to sell 35L actually
$349 seems to be a right price
