In addition to the long list of positive reviews.......
I recently bought this lens and I am overall very pleased with it! However, there appears to be a serious issue with some (or all) lens copies when pictures are taken in the vertical orientation. Personally I did not notice any problems with my copy. Still, I thought it was important to mention that Canon has posted a service notice:
