I have the non-marco version. Great Price for a 2.8 zoom, especially when it is much cheaper than 24-70L. It has excellent built and manual focusing feel. While the images quality is decent, but I can't say it is a very sharp lens. Maybe I am spoiled by my other canon primes. But nonetheless, it is a great to carry one lens to walkaround and this will do the job for you.

I really like this lens. IS is really useful. I could handheld shoots as slow as 1/4s at 28mm or 1/10 at 135mm ! This is really good for low light places.
However, it is still a 3.5-5.6 lens, which is slow, and it does not "stop" action in low light and has not give a narrow dof.
