Pros:
|
Solid, weather-sealed, wide 2.8 aperture, fast USM autofocus, substantial hood included, resistant to flare, sharp even wide open all through focal range, works well with extension tubes for macro work
|
|
Cons:
|
Weight, size can be intimidating when hood attached, not wide enough on 1.6 crop

I've only used this lens on a 30D but found all the "Positive aspects" listed above to be true.
Would like to try it on full frame body.
It is my most used lens (ahead of 10-22 EF-S and 70-200 f4 IS).

Pros:
|
Sharp
Fast and accurate auto-focus when set on 0.48m - infinity (on 30D)
Smooth bokeh
Resistant to flare
No CA, even in extreme contrast situations
|
|
Cons:
|
Auto-focus can hunt a little when set on 0.31m - infinity. Sometimes requires manual help, but not a serious drawback for macro work.
