Customer Review: Good value for the money!
Summary: 4 Stars
This was my first non Canon lens purchase, granted the other lenses I've owned has been cheaper Canon lenses (kit lens, 50mm and 28-135mm).
I've never owned an L so I can't compare it to those but here are my impressions:
Price: Can't beat it, its a 2.8 like the better L lenses out there and for a fraction of the cost. Love it!
Noise: Really can't say that its that noisy as I've heard people complain. Again I have not owned an L's so in my limited experience with lenses, its not noisy, nothing I'd consider loud enough to disturb a wedding ceremony or anything of the sorts.
Focusing: It's as fast as my 28-135mm, so not bad, its fast enough to catch my kids running by, get them in focus and me snap the picture.
About the focusing, I did notice mine had a bit of trouble with front focusing, but works well now when I've got that taken care of.
I really haven't had opportunity to test it in the conditions it was built for but so far I've been impressed with it.
Its not really bulky, it seems solidly built even if its not L quality.
The pictures I've taken so far has been crisp and clean and bright, really I cant complain, again a great lens purchase. I can't wait for them to come out with a 70-200mm 2.8 version so I can buy that as well.
If you are a pro with L's in your camera bag you might or might not like it. However if you're a serious hobbyist or working-to-be a pro then this is a good start for a fraction of the cost of an L. Its a nice lens and I don't think you'll be disappointed.
