I must admit this is the first Canon product I have ever been dissatisfied with.
I found this lens to be very soft. After a year of use I can honestly say that I didn't get but a few really crisp images out of it. Those images were at f8 and above.
My biggest problem was the dust that got inside the lens. Maybe all lenses get a little dust in them at some point and time, but not like this. At 17mm against a blue sky it was a big problem. No amount of PS was worth the time to fix that type of shot.
I'll pay to have it cleaned and then it will be sold.
I had high hopes for this lens when I bought it, but it let me down.
