Struggled with the lens for 6 month. 5 times returned to CANON for back-focus, miss-focus, sharpness problems. The biggest problem was that lens did not focus reliable when wider than 34mm (I was using only a center AF spot).
CANON tech finally replaced element responsible for focusing and I did not need to shoot 10 to select one anymore.
Lens is a gem. It is comparable with primes on F8. It focuses fast and quiet. It is usable on F2.8 and demonstrates a serious sharpness from F3.5 with slight improvement till F8.0. CA are very minimal on corners and mainly on 24mm.
Colors are real and photos are popping up.
I would recommend this lens for a persistent person who can get a good working sample. Result will cost every penny.
