I shoot with this as my primary portrait lens and i love it. I have been tempted to swap it out for the 1.2 L but A: i don't want to put that brick in my bag, and b: if i beat this one up, I can just go pick up another one to replace it.

Pros:
|
sharp, light, cheap, good build
|
|
Cons:

only thing i can think of is f4, but it honestly hasn't been an issue as i can drag the shutter a lot @ 17mm

Such a great lens. I purchased it before there was a 16MKII but I have found this lens to be significantly sharper than the old 16-35 Tons of photos on my blog http://ericjphotography.com/blog I would be lost if it weren't in my bag. I should mention that i use it on a 5D and really would only suggest it on FF

Fast AF, FT Manual Focus, Great Color, Great Contrast, great sharpness up to f8, oh and it has 10mm

performs poorly stopped down, front element moves when zooming, $$$ for a non"L", f3.5-4.5 ( I would have prefered a constant f4) a bit inconsistant with sharpnes

Well I have been trying to decide on this one for a WHILE!!! This lens has brought back the excitement of W/A photography to me, (lost with the 1.6 crop) here is one shot that makes me remember why I missed WA http://ericcotter.com/blog/index.php?showimage=114
All thought this lens is REAL sharp when it is on, there are sometimes when it should be sharp and it isn’t (i.e. f8 @ 1/400) but it is worth the money. With the problem of dust on the sensor these days, I am surprised that Canon is still making $800 lenses with elements that suck in air/dust when zooming
