Needed a wider-angle lens for a wedding...went to local shop to see this lens and liked it immediately. Not at all comparable build-wise to a Canon "L", for example, but okay. For me, the real thing I like about the lens is the sharpness of images...on a par with many other lenses 3 times the price. Yes, there is vignetting at edes wide open and some softness wide open...but by the time you get to f/5.6 on it is really a great lens given the online price at many places. I have since gotten a Canon 17-40 but I cannot convince myself to part with this lens...besides, it has that bulbous, protruding, yellow-reddish front element that is pretty cool!
