Have owned two of them since 2001. I have used them within my photo studio for all types of images from commercial, wedding and portrait since 2001 on full frame and crop sensor digitzal EOS bodies as well as Rebel XSI bodies.

love this lens. does what its meant to - capture beautiful images but there is specs of dust inside it which shows up in the final image. I ordered this lens to film a wedding, throughout the whole video you can see these specs.

Surprisingly, I've kinda fallen in love with this lens! My wife got it for me a year ago and I like to wait a while before submitting a review on this type of thing...so here we are. Yes, this lens has been around a LONG TIME (20 years or so), Obviously for good reason....it very good!

This is not your L series lens. But, it is a good every day carry for a full frame camera. Having recently upgraded from APS-C to Full Frame, I needed a basic lens. This works. I might have given it 5 stars..but then where would I put the L series lenses.

I shoot video professionally with my 5D Mlll. This lens is light and good for personal travel. If it got beat up or dinged its not a heartbreak.

I shoot landscape, animal and grandkids with this lens. It is easy to focus, takes very clear pictures and gives the extra power needed for the photos taken within 30ft.

Consistent Output; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus

I use this lens for portraits in interior spaces. Focus is sharp and stable. I am able to use this in low light and still get great results. I love the range and its not too heavy to keep with me at all times.

This lens gives great range from 28 to 135 mm. So it is a general everyday lens that get use 90% or more. It also has fast AF and well constructed. Although not an L lens, the price is very competitive compare to other similar products.

I bought this lens because I couldn't afford the 24-105 but wanted a medium range lens that would work well for photojournalism. What I got was an excellent lens with awesome quality.

This is the best walkaround/travel lens for fullframe users. I prefer this than the more expensive 24-105L. Yes, the L-series will give you (slightly) better results, but for more money and weight (duh). I love this lens because of the portability.
