Pros:

Sharp, L glass
|
|
Cons:
|
Price (But if you clos your eyes it doesn't hurt as much)
|

VERY sharp from f1.2 to f11, however it suffers a bit at f16. (Probably due to diffraction) works very nicely on the 1DS MKii.
Price is pretty steep but i believe in getting what you paid for...

Although being an L lens you expect the best, but when you start really looking at your photos and comparing between prime lenses and this it is completely sub-par to my expectations! even my clients can tell the difference! I will be selling mine for either the 24-105 f4L IS or the 50mm f1.4 USM and some goodies.

i got this lens three days ago from Gerry Gibbs Camera House in Cannington, Perth Western Australia.
previously i hired this lens off of them and i have dreamed of owning one ever since.
from back then and the last three days of constant shooting i am happy to say that the 12,100 reasons that i found to convince myself to bite the bullet was worth every one.
a very highly reccomended piece of kit.
