Pros:

So far, very good. I've had only a couple of days with it (and very limited time at that!), but it seems light, sharp, and accurate - what's not to like? Sometimes one will equate "light" with "cheap" (not inexpensive) - this isn't the case. I bought it as a way of recycling some of my 52mm front end kit, and I like it.

None so far.

Pros:

Overall - a good "walk around" lens.

Cons:
|
Kind of soft in the corners. Takes a bit of practice, but it seems worth it.

I might not be the best reviwer for this forum.
I'm (slowly) moving from Canon film to Canon digital. Just a 20D plus this lens. Still playing with it - center seems "OK" in the mid-range - a little soft at the corners. Certainly not the fastest lens in the bag.
At 17-20mm, there is a lot of vinette with mine. I'm not sure if it's the lens in general, or just mine - I'm wondering if I should swap/replace it.
The IS seems to work "OK", but I need to spend a lot more time looking at hendheld vs tripod.
I like this range as a walk-around, and if I can fix the wide end end, I'll (probably) be happy.
