I got this lens on a whim - was about to order something else, & had tried out a friend's copy & it did very good. I like this lens a lot, but it cannot replace my 28-135 because it doesn't have IS & at my age, I Need IS! I would like to see this lens re-designed to a 24-75mm 2.8! I swap it back & forth between my 30D & my EOS-3.
A good lens for shooting concerts, but I am thinking the Canon 85mm 1.8 will do better. We'll see . . .

Update: I sold this lens as I wound up with the 17-40MM 4.0L & that lens is one sweet baby. The contrast of the 17-40L is superb! I had to let this 20-35 go so I could get enough funds(sold my 645 system as well) to purchase the New Canon 30D(on order).

I recently switched from the FD system to the EOS starting with the EOS-3, 50mm 1.8 & a 28-135 IS, which is still my #1 lens! I later added the 75-300mm IS & traded some of my FD equipment for the 20-35. Then came the Elan 7 & now the 300D/Digital Rebel.
This lens normally stays on my EOS-3 & I Love it! I use it sometimes on my 300D, but I should use a tripod more with it, as with age I am not a steady as I used to be. If I get a 17-40mm I WILL keep this lens. Super for shooting scenics on slides. Yes, I do still shoot film.
