1. Slow AF. Not for me. AF is adequate for my needs.
2. Weight. This is a big lens. Compared to leica 90mm Summicron this lens is a giant, but it does wear on a Canon body well. I would say the weight of Canon L glass is only a problem if you carry more than one of them in your camera bag. It gets heavy pretty quickly.
3. Usage. I love to use this lens everywhere.
I used it in shooting hockey games

4. Care. There is a lot of dollars invested in this lens. Pamper it.
