"Absolutely love the speed of the lens in combination with real wide-angle. Optical quality is top class, as expected for L-class."

"This lens is great. Pro shooter. Love the wide aperture."

"The only thing I don't like about this lens is the lens hood. Seems like I'm always having trouble getting it on or off."

I love this lens for the low-light, wide-angle short depth of field. It's unlike any other lens I've used. Great for video too if you can...
