Pros:

Fast, Sharp, IS works very well. No dust as of yet, so fingers crossed!

Cons:

I love this lens. It's on my 40D 99.9% of the time, and only comes off when I need to change to a long prime. As I said, I have had no dust problems, but I am very careful about where I use and change this lens.

Everything.

No longer available in the UK.

This is my first L lens and it is fantastic.
Yes it's heavy(ish), yes it's big(ish), but it is a joy to use.
The IQ and build quality are top notch, and used with a monopod there is no need to spend the extra £/$ for the IS version (which seems to be having a bit of bad press at the moment re IQ). As this lens is no longer widely available here in the UK I got mine from Hong Kong, which was cheaper than the UK price.
Oh, and one other thing...It's white...Nice!

Pros:
|
Hard to say considering the major negative point (with my example anyway).
|
|
Cons:
|
Very soft at 28mm.
|
|
|
As I said, very soft at 28mm, even at f8. 105mm a lot better, but still needs some PP work. As most, if not all, who might buy this lens will want to use the 28mm end, I can't help feeling there are much better choices out there.
