Great in Low Light November 29, 2008
This is my work horse lens in low light. It is amazing no matter which camera body I stick it on (20D, 30D or 5D) and is super sharp. One of my favorites.
It is heavy but so worth it. :)
Simply, a great piece of equipment! November 18, 2008

Having been a photographer by hobby for 20+ years, I have to say that this is by far the best glass that I have ever shot with. To be succinct, if you are at least a "prosumer" Canon shooter, you shouldn't be without this lens. It has been versatile enough for me to shoot everything from a deceased soldier's burial to youth sports without being a disrupting influence. I've used it to shoot airshows (static displays) and news events. It is simply a must have for the Canon-carrying photojournalist.
The mechanics of this "L" lens are solid and the focus is sharp and fast. It may be a little heavy for some but I've gotten used to it. It is an investment that will pay for itself many times over if you take the time to learn it and how to use it.
If your wallet can bear it, then I say go for it. You won't regret it.

I have nothing to add. The lens is everything for which one could wish. Simply superb. Rather than reiterate what everyone else has said, I thought I'd just quietly put in my 5 stars.
I can't believe it! October 29, 2008

Wow, I have been spending way too much time reading and reviewing this lens, seriously, just get it. My lens had a code of UW####, which means it was made in September of 2008, so new!
I just tested it real quick, and it seems to focus very well at all focal lengths, quiet, and focus fast! This is my first L lens, and I am so excited! This lens is definitely worth every penny. Yes, everyone says that, but really, it is. Get it now!
