This lens has been my walkabout lens since I purchased it. I put it in the same category as the XTI kit lens, but nowhere near the same class. In all the aspects that matter to me it out performs the kit lens hands down. This plus my 70-300 IS USM is probably one of the best combos for non L glass I've seen. I will be sad to lose it when I change bodies, even more sad to spend the $$ on a 24-70 and lose that 7mm on the wide end for double the money.
The only "negative" I can think of for this lens is it's not futureproof for when I move to a different sensor size. I should have read the descripton a little better, but I don't regret the purchase at all.
